3 Videos preaching “The dangers of John 3:16, easily believism, the whosoever verses, Tatsuo preaching in Japanese & a compilation of encounters, all preached in Beverly Hills
Today for many hours, four men preached into the open-air to thousands of people. Some responded well to the Gospel message, some responded angrily, some complained to security, some called the police, and some did not respond at all. The team also distributed lots of tracts, and engaged in many one on one encounters.
Evidently based on the responses from the community, and that the Beverly Hills police department deployed four police officers to our location, we must have been effective.
Today we noticed a large presence of shoppers from Japan. Brother Tatsuo is Japanese, and trilingual. This was the first time I’ve heard him preach in Japanese (video #1). Since we were not able to use our amplification, a loud voice is needed. Tatsuo has a voice like Charles Spurgeon, and preaches with such a sense of urgency. Glory to God for that man. My prayer today was “Lord let me preach more like him.” But as I’ve said before, the Apostle Paul is my primary mentor.
Below are three videos. The first video is Tatsuo preaching, as well as a compilation of other encounters, and preaching. The second video is Bill’s sermon on ‘The dangers of John 3:16.’ The third video Bill’s conversation with hecklers / atheists.

WHY IS JOHN 3:16 ALONE A WEAK DEFENSE AGAINST ELECTION?, by James White
.
The “whosoever” of John 3:16 is a present tense nominative singular masculine articular participle that translates literally as “the one who is believing”. Jesus was therefore making a declaration, not giving an invitation. Those who believe will not perish. The believing ones, not all people. The verse is about what God did, not what we do of any supposed free will. And why do the elect believe? Because God wills it and works in their hearts by His Holy Spirit to make those who were dead in sin be born again with spiritual eyes and ears. In John 3:16, all who believe will be saved from spiritual death and damnation by God who loves His created order (cosmos), those who were made in His image. The verse is about what God does, not what we do.

Note the very clear (same) grammatical pattern…

Matthew 5:28, “But I say unto you, That WHOSOEVER LOOKETH [πᾶς ὁ βλέπων; pas ho blepon; literally — “ALL THE [ones] LOOKING”] on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
.
John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH [πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων; pas ho pisteuon; literally, “ALL THE [ones] BELIEVING”] in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

John 3:16 is no more an OFFER to BELIEVE and NOT PERISH than Matthew 5:28 is an OFFER to LOOK and COMMIT ADULTERY.
