Let it go…

I think I will stick with what Jesus told us... no ambiquity, no confusion, no reason to add to or subtract from what He told us.... It is that simple... You can certainly decide who you want to believe and follow.

No it is clearly not. Jesus made His statements to us that can only be understood or interpreted ONE way... no confusion, no ambiquity, no wiggle room whatsoever. Therefore, if we read a comment or statement from Paul or John or Matthew - whoever that does not contradict the words of Jesus that...

Three very clear statements from Jesus are: John 14:15 — “If you love me, keep my commandments.” John 14:21 — “One who has my commandments and keeps them, that person is one who loves me.” John 15:10 — “If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s...

Could He be any clearer?

I do not understand your thinking here... you claim the moral laws go back to the beginning but you decline to consider the 4th commandment to carry forward .. it was specifically given to man not the Jews in the beginning... God even created a separate day for it.... it is the only holy day He...

I understand the point you are making from Galatians, and I agree with the central issue Paul is addressing: no one is justified by the works of the law. Circumcision, Sinai covenant identity, and law-keeping cannot save anyone. Christ alone justifies, and if someone goes back to the law as the...

I am not sure that is correct. God gave His laws, both the ceremonial and the Moral laws to His people. He also gave them the Tanakh and, of course that includes the prophets. However, they were instructed to be the priest to the pagan / Gentle world.. They had been given the Word to teach all...

Fat fingers…

Thank you for your response, but I am not in agreement with your interpretations of the verses you mentioned. I will respond to your comments later when I have the opportunity to spend the time they deserve. I do understand that your interpretations are indeed accepted by many, many...

All of that means nothing when you simply hear what Jesus said… Obey My commandments… He who loves Me will obey My commandments…I did not come to destroy the law but to fulfill it.. and there are more.. I don’t believe I remember reading Jesus saying to .. Obey My commandments- except for...

You have got to be kidding! So, when did His commandments stop being His Law - His moral Law? The sermon on the mount is where Jesus spoke plainly and expressed more deeply how He saw His laws being practiced. He was not simply quoting His 10 commandments - everyone knew them by heart, He was...

What are you talking about?

“If you love me, keep my commandments.” —John 14:15 “One who has my commandments and keeps them, that person is one who loves me. One who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him.” —John 14:21 “If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my...

Read HIS words... you are bringing up a verse and misinterpreting it. If the verses I posted came out of HIS mouth, AND there is absolutely NO ambiquity, than why do you still feel the need to contradict HIM or interpret HIS words? Shouldn't you try and consider that your interpretation of that...
