Light?

[~~ angelique ~~]

This is from John:

That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world.

It says gives light to every man does that mean that every person born gets light?

[Scarletprayers]

What chapter and verse?

John 1:9????

If thats the verse it just means the light (Jesus) was for everybody, it doesn't mean every one will walk in the light however.

Yes.

If they want it.

That's a good way to explain it.

As it says just after:

John 1:10,11

10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. 11 He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:

[Hunterpoet]

John 1:9 That was the Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

He who is the Christ. Christ Jesus, our Lord and Savior is the Light. And He is there for all to see. A Light upon my path, a Lamp unto my feet.

[Openly Curious]

This is from John: That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world.

Don't know if I can add anything to what already has been said but the Light was already in existence before it was created and shown in this world as Jesus was that light that came down from heaven and all that believes on Him then they have that true light of life no longer walking in the darkness of this world. Not every man will choose the light but God sent the light Jesus Christ so that whosoever will can be saved.

It says gives light to every man does that mean that every person born gets light?

It simply means that God made a way of salvation for everyone that is born on the earth and that way of salvation is to accept the sacrifice that God sent being God's only begotten Son Jesus Christ as He was the sacrifice given for our sin. There is a natural light and then there is a spiritual light.

Hope have helped.

My translation says, "All things were made by him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made. In Him was life; and the life was the light of men, . . . That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world."

I understand the verse to be saying that everyone born into this world is born spiritually alive . . . but when we willfully choose to do wrong after receiving conviction of the Holy Spirit that something is truly wrong (sin), we spiritually die. Certainly, I have found no verses to the contrary.

Below are some scriptural reasons . . .

Pr 20:27 The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.

Pr 13:9 The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.

Pr 20:20 Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.

Pr 24:20 For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.

Lu 11:33 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.

34 The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.

35 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.

36 If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.

Ro 7:9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.

10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.

11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.

12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

That is why we must be spiritually born again

[Honeybee88]

Ps:51:5: Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

Ps:58:3: The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.

Romans 3:10:10: As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

11: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

12: They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

We have no goodness. 1Cor:15:22: For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

Only God's light can make us alive-Eph:2:1: And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins.

Please show how the above verses do not conflict, but rather are in a harmony with what Paul (the chief of sinners) stated below . . . unless, of course, the scriptures are inconsistent ith each other.

Ro 7:9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.

10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.

11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.

12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

Did we have " trespasses and sins" when we were born?

[deut31:12]

This is from John:

That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world.

It says gives light to every man does that mean that every person born gets light?

Jesus was the light of the world. Read on further...

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. - John 3:19-21

Jesus is called the "Word" and he has come to this world to give us light in this world of darkness. The darkness being sin and the light also being the word of God, which is the gospel of Christ.
