Issues of the Christian church against Christ:
Long prayers.
Teachings of Balaam (God does not sacrifice).
Worshiping of a man (No image of God).
Grace and inheritance were cut off by Yeshua (Zechariah 11 potters field prophecy).
Drinking any alcohol (Nazarite laws and true follower of Christ)
Cutting of beards and hair (sheep to the slaughter).
Vine is to be burned.
Merchandising sold in churches.
Talking to everyone and not just separating your selfs to Christian love (Philadelphia).
Be a light unto many, not just friends, give to sinners.
Women are equal.
Aim to be perfect, not all are sinners.
Works and by the words people speak is key to Yeshuas (Salvation) teachings.
Fake name of (jesus) being an insult.
Repentance is from God.
Faith is in God.
Holy Anointing oil is to be used by followers.
No eating unclean meat and preferable none, as it is bad for us and God gave us fruit.
Wisdom of God is worth more then money, not being simple in Christ and getting your self robbed by all.
Give up wealth.
Reincarnation.
Be as Children in faith, simple is the love of God, complicated is man made religion.
Anyways there is some of them, possibly more, as have been researching loads since made that first assessment.
The points are so simple to see if the Pharisee John, Paul and Simon the stone (petros) are shown, plus removed as written...
1) How long is long? Did not Christ himself pray for a lengthy period in the garden? So long, in fact, that the disciples could not stay awake with him.
2) Since Xy arose as a sect of Temple Judaism (the kind Jesus would have practiced, BTW), we can expect that sacrifice is part of the sacred ritual that reconciles humanity to God.
3) We do not worship a man. We worship Christ as one person of the Triune God.
4) As I've pointed out, OT prophecy does not speak from a perspective of Christian theology. Therefore, the Zechariah prophecies cannot be cogent to the issue ofgrace and inheritance. That's why there's a
new covenant, by which we are reconciled to God through grace.
5) Christ changed water to wine. Christ often used the imagery of wine and grapevines as symbolic of God's imperial rule. Since all grape juice at that time was alcoholic, we must assume that Jesus advocated the drinking of wine.
6) Nowhere does Jesus command us not to cut our hair.
7) I don't know what this references...
8) Selling things in churches? What do you mean? Most of the time, if a church has a bookstore or something, it is non-profit, which is clearly what outraged Jesus in the temple.
9) Who was more a neighbor to the man dying on the road? The Levite, or the Samaritan?
10) How can we do that, if we're only supposed to talk to other Christians like us? What of world relief efforts of many churches? What of the ministry of presesnce that many provide?
11) What do you mean? Women are supposed to be equal, but we don't treat them as such? Or women are not supposed to be equal, but we treat them as such?
12) Actually, all
are sinners. Christ said that no one is good but God alone.
13) What fake name? "Jesus?" Do you really think that a language barrier is going to concern Jesus in the least?
14) I don't know what you mean by this.
15) Yes. Our faith is in God.
16) Most Christians do use oil in anointing practices.
17) OT Law, from which we are exempt. BTW, is that not a Pharisaical POV -- not eating unclean meat? If Paul were a Pharisee, touting Pharisaical principles, would he not have imposed the OT sanctions against meat?
18) I don't know what you mean by this.
19) Yes, many of us do fall short here.
20) Reincarnation? What of it? That we should believe in it, or not believe in it? Do you mean resurrection?
21) I agree.
