St. John did not say you WILL or SHALL eternal life. He said you MAY or MIGHT have eternal life. You need to ask yourself why that is a conditional statement.

Ahem, John said that you MAY KNOW that you HAVE eternal life, not that you MAY HAVE eternal life.

Do try some reading comprehension lessons.

Sorry mom, I am a day late and a penny short on this thread. My belated reply echo's yours.

FWIW I believe Natural Law 'comprehends' very well. It is simply the semi-professional Apologists way to muddy the water.

Hey, no problem. It is a good point and doesn’t hurt to reiterate it in case someone missed it the first time around.
