"I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life." - 1 John 5:13St. 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.

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. Jesus made conditional statements and He made unconditional statements. If you wish to believe that gravity pulls upward and the sky is green and fantasies are real because you want them to be, what need have you?

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.

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. John said nothing of the sort. MAY KNOW is vastly different than MAY or MIGHT HAVE.
You, the language expert, surely know better.
