What Do You Think It Means??

Joseph,

In John12:24 Jesus [thru John's memory, passed from John to John] says you have to die to bear fruit. In the next verse he says if you love your life you will die. From A=B and B=C logic, this says to me that if you love your life it will bear fruit when you die.

So what does that say to you? What is your interpretation?

BTW- I have posted John12:21-32 several times already on this forum. I did not misquote. It is only a question of interpretation.

The 'born again' interpretation of this same verse is that you must hate your former life to be born again and get eternal life. Is that how you see it??

Richard
