***Let's just stick to John 3:16 and throw out the rest of the Bible.***

"He who despises the word will be destroyed,
But he who fears the commandment will be rewarded."
Proverbs 13

[pseudogratix]

"He who despises the word will be destroyed, But he who fears the commandment will be rewarded."

Sorry, but that isn't in the Bible. All that is found the Bible is: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

BTW, in using that extrabiblical verse, you seem to be implying that "word" equals "The Bible." Are you sure you aren't reading more than is really there? Either way, the only "word" in the Bible is "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
