Well im in a different situation then the average christian.
I am currently studying many different aspects of the bible, torah and quran.
I was born a catholic but never growing up had i believed many things that were told to me about the bible, due to the fact my father forced us to read the bible everyday.
Im glad he did, because i learned alot.
But i have questions because i am still battling between whats right and whats wrong.
For example, apparently we don't need to follow the old Laws,
Problem is, some christians say we do (why is that?) Some say we dont (why is that?) some say Paul said after jesus came, we dont need to know more (why is that?)
Because the bible clearly says in Mathew 10:18 WE DO infact need to follow it.
My point is why do we have so many people saying different things, I dont want to be apart of this Blind following traditions anymore.
What is right, and what is wrong.
Jesus is my main source, so if jesus says this, why dont we do it. Because Paul? Is pauls words greater than jesus. Not in my opinion.
I only want opinions please, because everyone has different opinons. I just add all the facts up and make my own conclusion later. Thanks.
--
Later i want opinions on the trinity.
For example Jesus in John 17:3 said the Father is the only true god..
Thanks
Apostle Paul in no greater than JESUS because he is an instrument personally chosen by JESUS and for JESUS. Apostle Peter's confession in his epistle speaks about Paul's teachings, that;
'Apostle Paul's teachings are sometimes difficult to understand but some have taken his teachings and have twisted them'
Please forgive and pray for these twisted in their minds 'twisters', of the Holy Bible Spiritual knowledge, They are like 'crooked lawyers' who seek 'loopholes' in the law, in order for them and their client to 'evade' the written law covenant of a citizen, whose itching ears love to listen to twisted law doctrine, in order to suite their continuous sinful youthful passions and it's desires remain in carnal/flesh fruits and mix with the fruits of SPIRIT/spirit dual divided lives.
In the letters to the Romans and Galatians, Apostle Paul addresses to the 'wise and prudent' Jew and Gentile believers, who remain in their previous Jew of gentile roots, of carnal/flesh desires, who still uphold the teachings of their ancestors of religious laws and traditions and all their physical practiced good deeds, that is wise to be introduced once again and practiced in their 'new lives', for their further acceptance to GOD.
That is why Apostle Paul says, that GRACE is of no use at all, if what is of carnal/flesh, the 'law of bondage' to sin and death of the past is once again introduced and practiced once again in pleasing GOD.
When he refers to the 'law', he refers to the Covenant of Moses's GOD given laws, practiced by the Jews or in it's likeness, in nature GOD's laws that are written in the hearts of Gentiles (Romans chapter 1 & 2).
He never included the New Covenant of GOD, of Grace and Truth, the 'law of liberty' of the resurrecting HOLY SPIRIT, to Eternal Life, brought and taught by our LORD JESUS CHRIST from Heaven, beginning from the 'Sermon On The Mount', giving them 'freely', to a just redeemed people, who were baptized not only of water but also of the SPIRIT and also fire, in order for them to 'abide' and bear much fruits and their fruits(the church), must also 'abide'.
Please do not waste time nor reason out with such believers who will slow you and make you doubt your learned faith. If you believe as you are taught by the HOLY SPIRIT, and in faith testify them by not doubting, then stand on them.
'Please GOD and not men, even though they may write you off to the ignorant persecutors'. We have not been given a Gospel of entirely pleasing and accepting by men, saved or unsaved, but at a point of time comes laying down of one's life for the sake of the remain ignorant, whom once we were the same before.
Thank you and be blessed in the name of LORD JESUS CHRIST.
