John 3:1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Judeans.

John 3:2 The same came to Emmanuel by night and said unto him, Rabbi.(a title given to those doctors of the law and those highly regarded as teachers), we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no man can do these miracles that you do, except God be with him.

John 3:3 Emmanuel answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

John 3:3 Emmanuel answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again.(word 'again' in original is 'from above'; that is of a higher consciousness, an awakened mind:; enthroning these thoughts in you causes the change and how is that done?.2Corinthians 3:16), he cannot see.('cannot see' means cannot comprehend, can't perceive, unable to apprehend, that is, unable to remove this vail, as it were, from his mind and allow the born from above action from the high spiritual realm, that of higher consciousness than the consciousness we have all been used to).the kingdom of God.

Nicodemus was being, as they say, 'born again', as he recognized that Emmanuel was in God. His mind was opening to the ways and means of God.

John 3:4 Nicodemus said unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

John 3:5 Emmanuel answered, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

John 3:5 Emmanuel answered, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a man be born of water.(born of water is talking of spiritual water {John 7:38,39}, symbolic of one having given his life for the higher spiritual qualities of a relationship with the Infinite One to flow in him and that relationship thus enabling him to love others in ways that only provide help to both him and to others (Ephesians 5:26), as opposed to the ways of the flesh which are to always look for a selfish advantage).and of the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

John 3:6,7 That which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto you, you must be born again..

John 3:6,7 That which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto you, you must be born again.(3John 1:8).

This being born from above is a transformation in your heart in this life now, a new you, a new man and it's a process, a steady transformation as one continues to meditate, contemplate and pray. What does continue in it mean? What about any after life? The true God of all love did not created any death. One's soul never dies. One individual may die if not changed, changed to be as God, Christ and the Holy Soirit are and that's everliving and that's everloving.

John 3:8 The wind blows where it lists and you hear the sound thereof, but cannot tell whence it comes and whither it goes. So is every one that is born of the Spirit..

John 3:8 The wind blows where it lists.(Matthew 17:10-13).and you hear the sound thereof, but cannot tell whence it comes and whither it goes. So is every one that is born of the Spirit.

Those born of the spirit express love that others are affected by and will notice a difference in their lives, someday, somehow and they can't figure out why they would be feeling somewhat better as it's different for them, they know something real is occurring to them, but it eludes them at the time as to why.

John 3:9,10 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? Emmanuel answered and said unto him, Are you a master of Israel.(Sanhedrin).and know not these things?

John 3:11 Verily, verily, I say unto you, We speak that we do know and testify that we have seen and you receive not our witness.

Nicodemus was saying to Emmanuel 'We have all this religious training and you're saying things we never have thought of, which discount what we have accepted for years as being true'. Their religious training steered them away from the spiritual and kept them bound to the prison of the ego.

John 3:12 If I have told you Earthly things and you believe not, how shall you believe if I tell you of heavenly things?

The things in the invisible realm. Word heavenly here meaning spiritual and at the time, beyond comprehension of these Emmanuel was speaking to.

The only way they can believe is if God is calling them and if so, the words of Christ will take root in them and the vail over them is taken away.

John 3:13 And no man has ascended up to heaven but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

John 3:13 And no man has ascended up to heaven.(talking about, for lack of a better word, that 'place' of the Creator, the Word and the spirit family; all of us will be in this realm eventually, as we all came out of it) but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

John 6:62; 17:5.

John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent.(Numbers 21:9).in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up.

John 3:15 That whosoever believes in him will not perish, but have eternal life.

John 3:15 That whosoever believes in him will not perish.(original root for 'should not perish' is 'separation' or is not separated from what Christ is; death separates one, that's why eternal life was revealed to us and for us) and that's why we are really already dead apart from what the Creator did for us through His Son, that is, give us life forever into the future), but have eternal life.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him will not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 3:16 For God.so.(original for word 'so' is 'in this manner').loved.the world.(how did God love the world {us} John 6:51; 17:21; Job 7:17,18), that.(original for 'that' is 'wherefore', 'so that', 'so then', 'insomuch').he.gave.(original for word 'gave' is 'make, 'bestow', 'present', 'reach out', 'extend', 'cause to come forth', 'to give one to someone as his own', 'supply as necessary' and 'endue'; why.did He give this?).his.(original for word 'his' is 'himself'; what does that mean?).only begotten.(original for 'only begotten' is 'single of his kind').Son that whosoever believes in him.(what does 'believes in him' mean and how does one know if he or she is a true son or daughter of God?.Matthew 5:9; know also that the word 'him' is a word {Greek 'autos' #846 in Strong's Concordance} that refers back to the subject, here being 'whosoever' which was curved back from the word 'him', so it means you, which is that you too are a creator in training, see these scriptures).will not perish.(perishing is being separated from; an automatic thing in how it was all set up, that is, if you believe, you can't be separated and you'll live forever).but have everlasting life.(how can you?).

John 20:31.

The whole verse would have been better translated one of these two ways: 1).'For God in this manner loved the world, insomuch that it was given, furnished, made possible himself, single, only one of his kind.(none other like God:.Isaiah 40:25; 46:5), that whosoever believes this in himself.perishes not.('perishes not' means 'destroys not' or, is not of destroyer mentality).nevertheless having eternal life (for if you don't believe you are a creator, what good is your belief if you believe in some form of negativity and then where's the Creator from outside of you to help? If the Creator is in you then you are in oneness with what the Creator is and have gifts from God. 2) from the.Textus Receptus:."For God which into himself destroys not eternal life":.Daniel 7:14)

God has gone to great lengths to get you onto the good side of life, even having special people born with certain natures, so you would see both the good side and the evil side in daily living. Who were these God specifically had born for this?

John 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved.

John 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn.(why were not the people condemned, thus needing a savior? original for word 'condemned' is 'judge'; so, He was not going to judge the world as being wrong {well who then judges? and why were they not to be judged?}, but religion and corrupt government policies {different standards for those stealing a chocolate bar and for those using the financial system to embezzletrillions from We the People} know how to condemn others; such a difference between the lower consciousness of humanity and the consciousness of the Creator).the world but that the world.(that is, those in the world, on the Earth).through him.(original for word 'through' adds 'with' and 'in', so then what is Christ? and 2Corinthians 3:16).might be saved.

God was never out to condemn anyone to punishment for not following his laws. That's a doctrine of demons. God always wants people to change to the ways that would proide a happy, healthful life for them:.3John 1:2.

Romans 8:1.

There's no 'might be' about it and those words 'might be' are not in the original. It's simply 'saved' in the original:.John 3:17. How encouraging would it have been to say, If you do this you 'might be' saved? In other words, Do and we'll decide if it was good enough for you to be saved:.2Corinthians 1:20. Some of the translators were drifting from a base of accuracy. Most of the translators did the best they could for where they were in consciousness and mental ability and who was maybe around them they had to please. See also.Romans 8:1,2. From the Greek word 'sozo', comes our English word 'saved'.

God sent His Son into the world for us. Why?.1John 4:9.

Luke 19:10 "For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost."
1John 4:9 "In this.was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him."
1John 4:14 "And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world."

And a being saved was in effect before humanity was physically on the Earth (2Timothy 1:9) and one reason we are here in this school on Earth is to awaken to that and the special gift that comes along that we can use once we know how to use it. What good is it if one isn't awakened? It would be the same as sitting in a class and not learning or having money somewhere that you didn't know about. The world is saved by awakening to the fact of why it is that we are here and that's to learn, but learn what and what about all the negatives out there? And what about those who are severely evil?.1Thessalonians 5:9,10.

Luke 9:56 "For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them..."

That is, through Him in us:.Colossians 1:27 "...Christ in you,.(just what is Christ) the hope of glory".What does this mean?

If you have a hundred dollar bill stashed away somewhere and have forgotten about it completely, well then, it's the same as if you didn't have a hundred dollar bill stached away at all. If you're unaware of your true state (2Timothy 1:9) it's the same to you as if it doesn't exist.

John 12:47 "...I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.".how?.John 17:23,26. And when is 'saving' for each of humanity? The world is being saved now because they are awakening to their true state and you have a part in awakening humanity.

John 3:18 He that believes on him is not condemned, but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

John 3:18 He that believes on him is not condemned.(believes in the reality of what Christ actually is.{which is love with all that means and one's life changes, many others can be thanked for this), but he that believes not is condemned already.(meaning that one really had no choice in his or her state of unbelief, that without belief {and one wouldn't believe unless he had some knowledge of what to believe} one is still in the prison of ordinary consciousness, far away from high consciousness where the future for us opens: 1Corinthians 2:9), because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.(we too are sons of the Creator, it's just that Emmanuel was begotten by the Father and we came through the lineage of the first family, the family of Adam).

John 3:19 And this is the condemnation.(original Greek word for 'condemnation' is 'krisis', meaning the separation, the sundering, a choice between light or darkness, spiritually speaking; a choice encountered in one's life, example, in Paul's life), that light is come into the world but men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil.(original adds to word 'evil', 'painful', that is, harmful to others and self. When is it harmful to self?).

If you love the things of the light, you don't have to worry about any condemnation.

Barnes Notes: What is this darkness? Darkness is the emblem of ignorance, iniquity, error, superstition, whatever is opposite to truth. People are said to love darkness more than they do light when they are better pleased with error than truth. This is the cause of condemnation, this is the reason why men are punished.

Not really 'punished'; see the word link, but rather worked with by God, to open their eyes:.Ephesians 5:14; 2Corinthians 4:4. Life on Earth is a stage but real to us because of the frequencies God made us with.

Because of the consciousness many carry, that of wanting to live life as only they see fit (Jeremiah 44:16,17), people remain at the ordinary consciousness level. We all need to live enough of life to learn lessons, unless some having no humanity genes will have to wait for a miracle from God to awaken:.Proverbs 14:12; 1Timothy 3:6.

John 3:20 For every one that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

He or she wants to maintain their own ways. They do not want to do better for self and others and want to hide, rather than admit and get rid of evil ways.

John 3:21 But he that does truth has come to the light and his deeds are made manifest that they are wrought in God.

John 3:21 But he that does truth has come to the light and his deeds are made manifest that they are wrought in God.

Matthew 7:16,20.

John 9:31.

John 3:22-24 After these things came Emmanuel.and his disciples into the land of Judea and there he tarried with them and baptized. And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there and they came and were baptized. For John was not yet cast into prison.

John 3:25 Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Judeans about purifying.

John 3:26 And they came unto John and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with you beyond Jordan, to whom you bare witness, behold, the same baptizes and all men come to him.

Barnes New Testament Notes:."This was the source of their difficulty: It was that Emmanuel was gaining popularity, that the people flocked to him, that they feared that John would be forsaken and his followers be diminished in numbers and influence. Thus many love their sect more than they do Christ..."

John 3:27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.

John the apostle who wrote this book of John is here talking of John the Baptist, saying that John the Baptist's purpose on Earth was to herald the coming of Emmanuel.

John 3:28,29 You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him. He that has the bride is the bridegroom. But the friend of the bridegroom, which stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. This my joy therefore is fulfilled.

John 3:30 He must.(His purpose is to).increase, but I must decrease.(John the baptist's work was to cease once Emmanuel came on the scene).

When He (Emmanuel) increases in effectiveness (John 2:4), John the Baptist's influence, who paved the way heralding Emmanuel, would diminish. Emmanuel's authority and influence among the people must grow and His message, called the gospel message, would continue to spread till it extends through all the Earth.

Barnes Notes: As the light of the morning star fades away and is lost in the beams of the rising sun, so John the Baptist faded from view when his work was done:.Daniel 12:3 "And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever."

John 3:31 He that comes from above is above all. He that is of the Earth is Earthly and speaks of the Earth. He that comes from heaven is above all.

John 3:31 He that comes from above is above all. He that is of the Earth is Earthly and speaks of the Earth.(the things of the ego realm). He that comes from heaven.(the spiritual realm.of the things of the invisible spirit.of higher consciousness).is above all.

Original is 'coming from above is above all; being of the Earth is Earthy (that is, of a lower consciousness than that of from above, which is of a higher consciousness) and speaks of the things of the Earth (speaks of lower consciousness things) and those coming from the heavenly (level) are above all' (have a higher consciousness).

John 3:32 And what he has seen and heard, that he testifies and no man receives his testimony.

Barnes Notes: The words 'no man' are here to be comprehended in the sense of 'few', that is few comparatively, received it in faith, that is, as being true:.verse 11, above. Though multitudes came to him, drawn by various motives.(John 6:26).yet few accepted His words as true, became his disciples and followed Him to learn more;.Matthew 26:56; 7:22.

John 3:33 He that has received his testimony.(His testimony was of the higher consciousness things).has set to his seal that God is true.

You 'set your seal' that God is true by doing the higher consciousness things of God, because why would you do them unless you believed in the one, true only God of all compassion, love and creation?.1John 4:2.

John 13:35; Romans 3:4.

John 3:34 For he whom God had sent speaks the words of God. For God gives not the Spirit by measure unto him.

John 3:34 For he whom God had sent speaks the words of God. For God gives not the Spirit by measure unto him.

Luke 4:1; Colossians 1:18,19. So be as Elisha was, ask for more:.James 4:2.

John 3:35 The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand.

John 3:36 He that believes on the Son has everlasting life and he that believes not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.

John 3:36.He that believes on the Son has everlasting life and he that believes not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath.(original for 'wrath' is 'constant desire', a feeling of God such as you just wish so much that the other person would take up with what you know is good for him or her; like, when will they ever see the light that love triumphs over evil?; you see what's lacking and just want them to have it, like your deep feelings for those you love that they would not be so wayward, as so many are in their teenage years).of God abides on him.

So, this then is how our Creator deeply feels for us, because He knows that if one is not connected to Him, then he or she is subject to the darkness of life and we all know where that leads to.
