John10:22 It was the Feast of the Dedication{The "Feast of the Dedication" is the Greek name for "Hanukkah," a celebration of the rededication of the Temple.} at Jerusalem.
10:23 It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon's porch. 10:24 The Jews therefore came around him and said to him, "How long will you hold us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly." 10:25 Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you don't believe. The works that I do in my Father's name, these testify about me.
10:26 But you don't believe, because you are not of my sheep, as I told you.

Here Christ make the point that weed-Christian's having a fleshly legal mind cannot get it, you cannot know God unless you are Spirit led. In other words, the voice of God speaks to the children of God by Spirit and not legal doctrines of their faith.

John 6:63 It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.

These Jew's were law bound, they knew God by the law, but not faith, why not faith. Because faith is trust and legal mind trust no one that is why it is a legal mind. The legal mind says first I judge you wicked for the law is for the wicked now prove your not by meeting the laws demands. But Christ said, God knows your wicked by the law, and I am finishing the law for you by my righteous blood so God can see you as justified and loved.

John 8:15 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.

Here the Jews were judging by a bad eye have a rafter blinding them to the truth of the law, which was, no human could keep it being a sinner, so they need faith in God's own goodness, not their own, and just what does that mean. It means if you are dead to God because you are born into sin, it take God's goodness to make things right. You have no power over sin nor death.

Matt. 7:1 "Don't judge, so that you won't be judged. 7:2 For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you.
7:3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but don't consider the beam that is in your own eye?

Christ is telling these Jew's you cannot hear my voice by self-righteousness through works of the old law. You can only hear my voice through Spirit and truth, which truth is that you are a sinner deserving of death like all sinners. Subsequently, the legal minded Jews and weed-Christian's judges Christ wrong, and his body members because the do so from a fleshly legal mind, first accounting them evil by laws created for the wicked. But God has removed those laws from them not by their own goodness, but instead by Christ Jesus earned merit as a sinless righteous man.

1Tim.1:9 as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 1:10 for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine;

Now because of a righteous standing by faith God speaks to His children in love, by the Royal law of freedom, feeding them from above and cherishing them as a compassion Heavenly Father, these are not left bastards by the harsh treatment of cruel men under laws for the wicked.

Rom. 8:12 So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. 8:13 For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God.
