The new testament is about alot more than Forgiveness it was aso about the judgment. A seperation of the sheep and the Goats. Jesus said I did not come to bring peace but division. Quote:

What did Jesus mean when he told his diciples they would be his witnessess or when he told them whatever sins they retained he retained or whoever they forgive he forgives, they had divine authority. |

" 23 Wherefore, the things which he shall write are just and true; and behold they are written in the book which thou beheld proceeding out of the mouth of the Jew; and at the time they proceeded out of the mouth of the Jew, or, at the time the book proceeded out of the mouth of the Jew, the things which were written were plain and pure, and most precious and easy to the understanding of all men. 24 And behold, the things which this apostle of the Lamb shall write are many things which thou hast seen; and behold, the remainder shalt thou see. 25 But the things which thou shalt see hereafter thou shalt not write; for the Lord God hath ordained the apostle of the Lamb of God that he should write them. 26 And also others who have been, to them hath he shown all things, and they have written them; and they are sealed up to come forth in their purity, according to the truth which is in the Lamb, in the own due time of the Lord, unto the house of Israel. 27 And I, Nephi, heard and bear record, that the name of the apostle of the Lamb was John, according to the word of the angel." (B. of M. 1 Nephi 14: 23-27) Notice it says "the Lord hath ordained the apostle of the Lamb of God that he should write them...and the name of the apostle of the Lamb was John". A further reading in context makes it clear that it's talking about the revelation of John. This is why I personally accept John's writings and his authority to write them.

Let me ask you this, what do you think "whatever measure we use, we will also be measured" means? I'll give you time to call your minister for the answer. The New Testament is about a lot more than forgiveness? Okay, but what do you understand of the rest? Are you sure you know what the parables mean? What do you think a "separation of the sheep and goats" means? Why do you think Jesus said that He came to bring the sword but His actions were always non-violent (excepting a few cash boxes)? I tell you this, and it is a truth you have not been told, forgiving others is the most important thing you can learn on the earth. You think you are supposed to believe in God but God will not prove Himself to you because He will not violate your free will. You think you are supposed to believe in a book written by man, you think you are supposed to follow other men (preachers/ministers/priests) but you are not. You are supposed to choose your own path, understanding how the universe and God works comes later. The priests knew they would lose their position? Why would they know this when it did not happen? These priests were not see'ers, they were not oracle's. Haven't you noticed that God never works through groups or any established religion. I will surely respond to these questions but could you please provide the whole quote of these verses. I'm not sure if you are quoting from the New Testament or Book of Mormon. |

Would you agree that while the original manuscripts may have been infallible, there is no perfect translation of the Bible in existance today?
