    The Gospel - Is it only that Jesus died or is it that we celebrate The Resurrection?

    To me, Matthew 5:17 does Not come as a construction that came afterwards. Fulfiled as Jesus said at Luke 4:21 Along with Jesus' advice found at Matthew 5:20 Besides Matthew 23:23 Jesus told us about man-made religious practices or ideas at Matthew 15:7-9

    Split a piece of wood and I am there, Lift a stone and you will find me

    Romans 8:13 13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. When you Eat foods that is Unhealthy because it tastes good and Smoke for pleasure knowing that it could Kill you, you are Strong in the Body. These are...

    Split a piece of wood and I am there, Lift a stone and you will find me

    I will address your points separately... 1) Are you seriously judging people's ability to understand Scripture by what they eat and/or whether s/he smokes or not? That is so absurd that it's not even worth discussing. Eating meat and smoking tobacco have nothing to do with a person's...

    Mystery Babylon Identified Using Just Two Verses

    “Babylon” or “Babylon the Great,” referred to in Revelations, is figurative because it does not have a physical location.(Revelations 17:1, 2) “Waters” is identified in Revelation. 17:15. “Fornication” is referring to spiritual fornication is explained in Revelation 18: 23. It is described as a...

    Faith is being sure...

    If you're at all familiar with the New Testament, you've undoubtedly read how the Pharisees tried often to trap Jesus about things that He said. For example, Matthew 15:1-3... "Then Pharisees and experts in the law came from Jerusalem to Jesus and said, “Why do your disciples disobey the...

    One God or many gods

    I'm sorry but I'm having a hard time understanding. First of all, a god is not the same thing as a lord. You can have a lord who is not a god. But also, you can't really say there are many gods and then turn around and say there is but one God. Either there is none, or just one, or more than...

    One God or many gods

    There are 'many gods, many lords', ( please see 1st Corinthians 8:5-6; Philippians 3:19; Psalm 82 ) but to Christians there is but one God, the Father, ...and one Lord Jesus Christ..... 1st Timothy 2:5; Matthew 23:9 In other words, there is only one ALL MIGHTY ( Almighty God YHWH )

    WHERE IS THE SCRIPTURE THAT SAYS GOD'S 4th COMMANDMENT IS ABOLISHED?

    Your response here and full post quoted above for context. I did not post bigotry, that is what you are doing. I posted scripture. I know the above because the scriptures attached say what is posted above. Go read them.

    WHERE IS THE SCRIPTURE THAT SAYS GOD'S 4th COMMANDMENT IS ABOLISHED?

    The Scribes and the Pharisees observed Gods law but not from a new heart that loves. They outwardly observed Gods 10 commandments but inwardly (from the heart) were sinning against God. So it is possible to legalistically obey Gods law from the outside but inwardly be breaking them and sinning...

    WHERE IS THE SCRIPTURE THAT SAYS GOD'S 4th COMMANDMENT IS ABOLISHED?

    No, unlike you I believe all the old and new testament scriptures and not the interpretations of them in the teachings and traditions of men that crucified Gods promised Messiah that do not follow God and His Word that Jesus talks about in Matthew 23:13-35. So should you.

    Why should a Christian even look into Islam as a Possible true Faith?

    Which explains also the sayings in: Matthew 23: "Therefore I am sending you prophets and sages and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify; others you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town.And so upon you will come all the righteous blood that has been shed on earth...

    Understanding the holy scriptures is impossible unless God gives you the interpretation

    a) If you don't accept what Scripture clearly says, there is no point in discussing anything with you. Example: "Your spiritual sight needs servicing and new glasses." b) If you can't accept what the Bible clearly says about God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, and claim that there are...

    Understanding the holy scriptures is impossible unless God gives you the interpretation

    OMG! So many arbitrary thoughts...it's incredible.. Your spiritual sight needs servicing and new glasses.. In this prayer you quoted Jesus defines the term “to be one.” It is clearly accomplished through the relationship of two or more autonomous beings. “To be one” does not mean to be “one and...

    "THE LORD'S DAY IS THE SABBATH DAY NOT SUNDAY ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURES

    According to the scriptures breaking anyone of Gods 10 commandments is the very definition of what sin is. If you break anyone of Gods 10 commandments according to James in James 2:10-11 we stand guilty before God of breaking all of them. Those who continue practicing known unrepentant sin...

    WHO IS GOD'S TRUE ISRAEL IN THE NEW COVENANT?

    According to the scriptures, which are the only definition of what is true and what is not true (Romans 3:4; John 17:17) 'Israel' "born after the flesh of the seed of Abraham", as an unbelieving 'nation', is left desolate (Matthew 23:38; Luke 13:35), to bear no more fruit ever again (Matthew...

    WHO IS GOD'S TRUE ISRAEL IN THE NEW COVENANT?

    This is blasphemy of the most high via spaghetti on the wall fallacy. "God's new covenant" you say. Which God are you referring to .. "Ha Satan" ? chief God on Earth .. this "New Covenant" .. and what about the Old Covenants .. have you rejected these Gods ? "All those who...

    WHO IS GOD'S TRUE ISRAEL IN THE NEW COVENANT?

    GOD'S ISRAEL IN THE NEW COVENANT ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES ARE NOW ALL THOSE WHO BELIEVE AND OBEY GOD'S WORD! According to the scriptures, the name "Israel" is only a name given by God to all those who choose to have faith in His Word. In the new covenant scriptures, I would like to pose that...

    Eternal hell or annihillation make no sense

    The Sadducees only accepted the first 5 Bible books (Pentateuch) and also they rejected the 'oral' (Not written) tradition or customs (Matt.15:9) of the Pharisees. So, both the Sadducees and Pharisees were Not in harmony with Jesus' teachings - Matthew 23:24 God resurrected Jesus back to his...

    If Christ wasn't the messiah, what was he?

    Yet it wasn't really HIS teaching -- he was simply quoting from the Torah. Matthew 23 1 Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: 2 “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. 3 So you must be careful to do everything they tell you.
