John 3:16 and Philippians 4:6-7
God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
-John 3:16
Do not worry about anything, But pray and ask God for everything you need, always giving thanks, and God's peace, which is so great we cannot understand it, will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
-Philippians 4:6-7
commentary
re: John, somewhere else it says to believe in his name, as if it were a mystical word, and you didn't have to believe in anything else, like his preachings (although Jesus does mean 'God saves'). It's still not clear what "believe in him" means. In? And also, I thought the 'everlasting life' might have been a trick statement, as if HELL could sneak in there, under the radar. But in light of Philippians, i guess that's nothing to worry about. Personally, I believe everyone has everlasting life, regardless of whether they believe in Jesus, because everything is equally alive (or dead, if you want to look at it that way; we're all just things).
re:Philippians, I suspect that 'God's peace' is the oblivion of death. Death and Jesus are both 2, in english, according to that wacky numerology I find myself doing. We cannot understand death because we are all alive. But maybe by clearing our heads of all the subconscious noise and external distractions, we approach the calmness of death, which should be how meet our deaths; i.e. calmly.

"John 3:16" is quoted. I want to comment about the view of "salvation" in that verse:
Le-havdil,
Ribi Yehoshua ha-Mashiakh (the Messiah) from Nazareth’s authentic teachings reads:
[Torah, Oral Law & Hebrew Matityahu: Ribi Yehoshua Commanded Non-Selective Observance
The Netzarim Reconstruction of Hebrew Matityahu (NHM) 5:17-20]
[Glossaries found in the website below.]:
"I didn't come to subtract from the Torâh of Moshëh or the Neviim, nor to add onto the Torah of Moshëh did I come. Because, rather, I came to [bring about the] complete [i.e., non-selective] observance of them in truth.
Should the heavens and ha-Aretz exchange places, still, not even one י or one of the Halâkhâh of the Torah of Moshehshall so much as exchange places; toward the time when it becomes that they are all being performed -- i.e., non- selectively -- in full.
For whoever deletes one [point of] the Halâkhâh of these mitzwot from Torah, or shall teach others such, [by those in] the Realm of the heavens he shall be called 'deleted.' And whoever ratifies and teaches them shall be called ' Ribi' in the Realm of the heavens.
For I tell you that unless your tzәdâqâh is over and above that of the [Hellenist-Roman Pseudo- Tzedoqim] Codifiers of halakhah, and of the Rabbinic- Perushim sect of Judaism, no way will you enter into the Realm of the heavens." (see NHM)
Quote from www.netzarim.co.il ; “History Museum”
The reconstruction is made using a scientific and logic methodology. One of the premises is that the historical Ribi Yehoshua was a Torah-observant Pharisee (why that premise is true is found in the above website, in which you also will find more information about why a reconstruction is needed).
The historical Ribi Yehoshua and his followers Netzarim observed Torah non-selectively. The above website proofs that the person who want to follow the historical Ribi Yehoshua must do likewise.
The above quote from NHM 5:17-20 shows what Ribi Yehoshua taught about heaven and whom will get there, and it proofs that the Christian doctrine of salvation is incorrect.
