Well that would be your interpretation. Not exactly what He said.

"Those who act in truth come to the light so their deeds are revealed as works of God."

Jesus said He always did what pleases God. So in turn, if sent as He was sent, we must do the same.

God said in Luke 3:22.....``This is my Son , in Him I am well pleased ``........ See God is pleased with His Son Jesus , so then when we follow Jesus and repent from this world and be one with Jesus, ..... God will be pleased with Jesus through us , and we will be rewarded in heaven for what Jesus does through us , and the righteous things we do for Jesus ............. So then we can take our crowns of rewards and lay them at the feet of God in heaven .....

If the son of man is the word of God, the truth then it is the truth that pleases God. The spoken word of God is what pleases Him.

By that scenario, do you please God?

If Jesus sent His followers as He was sent then they must say what the Father told Jesus as well. Correct?

"I do nothing on my own, I only say what the Father taught me for the one who sent me is with me He has not deserted me because I always do what pleases Him."

what that means is if you do the next right thing, to the best o your ability, things will usually work out. The "best of your ability" does/can mean to ask others to help.

this atheist cannot argue that statement.


I can argue the 'poof there it is" parts and/or literal bible as the only true way.

If you are not healing the children with your words.
Then, try supporting the Children's Hospitals, like St. Jude's.

I purchase hundred's of bears, and give them to the young one's.
If you desire to donate, you may find some at Kay Jewelers.

"Together, we can help save children's lives."

They have donated more than 46 Million in 16 years.



Give to a loved one!

John 8:28-29

"When you honor the son of man you will realize I am and I do nothing on my own, I only say what the Father has taught me for the One who sent me is with me He has not deserted me because I always do what pleases Him."
