When we don't like what God's word says, we can always get comfort from Dr. Hoochibob or Dr. Malfungus. These men are so smart they can tell us why God did not mean what He said. These experts read Greek and Hebrew, but still deny God's word.
Let me put your mind at ease. Though a correct translation of God's word is essential, the fact is, if you have the Holy Spirit and can read a faithful translation, and if you search the Scriptures and seek the truth (Jn. 5:39; Ac. 17:11; 2 Tm. 3:15), you can understand what God said and what God meant (Jn. 8:31-32; 14:26; 16:13; 1 Co. 2:13; 1 Jn. 2:20-21, 27).
The whole Bible says...
We have sinned and are lost;
God provides salvation for all men;
God calls all men to repent, believe and walk in the light.
Or, you can believe what the Drs. of deception have to say.

(23) Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

(9) Of sin, because they believe not on me;
(10) Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
(11) Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
(12) I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

(9) But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

(11) For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
(12) Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
(13) Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
(14) But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

(26) These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
(27) But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
(28) And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
