mnt - John:8:42-47

mnt@John:8:42 @ Jesus said to them. "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I proceeded forth and am now come from God. I did not come on my own authority, but God himself sent me.

mnt@John:8:43 @ "How is it that you do not understand what I say? It is because you cannot listen to my message.

mnt@John:8:44 @ "You are of your father, the devil, and you want to do what your father desires. He was a man-slayer from the very beginning; and he has no standing place in the truth, because truth is not in him. Whenever he utters a lie, he speaks from his nature, for he is a liar and the father of lying.

mnt@John:8:45 @ "But as for me, it is because I speak the truth to you that you do not believe me.

mnt@John:8:46 @ "Which one of you convicts me of sin? Why then, if I am speaking the truth, do you not believe me?

mnt@John:8:47 @ "He who is from God listens to Gods words. For this reason you do not listen, because you are not from God."
