You err , " ALL have sinned" romans 3:23

Sure For all have sinned... but what does John 3:16 mean to you. Have everlasting life? how? John 6:53 Eat and have everlasting life. How?

Ok at least you agree that the one that don't sin shall live.

For your example, none. For all have sinned..but by grace those that repent and believe are forgiven and saved. Is it not in your bible?

Yes I agree, if you are perfect and do not have any sin in you at birth, you can live forever. But answer the question , are ur saints of old born sinners or not?, are they perfect or not?. Did they die or not?

Have you not read jesus statement to his faithful disciples: "even if you die" . Answer the question, did ur saints die or not ?

Yes sir, the scriptures told me so. Ecc 12:7 and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

@ underlined , that means all spirit either righteous or wicked return to God in heaven . Everyone is saved .

Really? So whether good or wicked returns to God. Who then will be thrown into the lake of fire that the bible talks about?

Did this scripture tell you what happens to their soul ?

If man is the spirit , what then goes to hell, which of the two is conscious , the soul or the spirit after death?. Or are both conscious? Do they go to the same place ?

Sure For all have sinned...

And all sining soul dies ! Eze 18:4

But what does John 3:16 mean to you. Have everlasting life? How? John 6:53 Eat and have everlasting life. How?

Everlasting life is not imortal soul , infact if humans have such a ghostly entity in them that means Shem , Sarah , Isaac and Jacob all died and make heaven without jesus dying for their sins .

May i ask : why did jesus died since Isaac and Jacob made heaven without him dying for their sins ?

You can help... don't be selfish with your knowledge. Anyways that word means breadth which is same breadth God breathed on Adam.

Did that help my confusion?

The Bible is not just one chapter or the OT. The moment you allow the light of the gospel to shine on your heart you will get holistic picture of what it's all about.

No scripture can contradict that verse !
