God said he was “sick of the sacrifices” because they were being done in rote, and people's hearts were in the wrong place. God wants people's hearts and love, not their animal sacrifices. Look it up. He wants obedience rather than sacrifice. When people are two-faced, disobey and then try to...

Well I guess there are 4 Gospels for that reason and like all viewpoints they vary slightly like any witness accounts. But they mostly agree I think. Why is Christianity not all of one viewpoint? World Christianity consists of 6 major ecclesiastico-cultural blocs, divided into 300 major...

My point before on this thread was “where this is an obvious contradiction I would rather believe Jesus”. I do understand what I am reading. Some posts on this thread have quoted Paul on the Law yet Jesus said not one “jot or tittle shall pass from the Law”, putting Paul against what Jesus...

Sorry typo above I meant "shouldn't be that hard to follow!"

Thank you Simple Gardener. What a lovely name by the way. I agree that its a heart relationship. It is impossible to keep the laws sometimes no matter how good a moral guide they are, so thank God for Grace. For instance, I couldn't possibly have kept the Sabbath anyway looking after both my...

I know scriptures can contradict one another. But I don't know about you, but I remember the game "Simon says". If Paul or Jesus were standing in front of you telling you two different things, which one are you going to believe? I wouldn't take a chance on that and no matter how confusing the...

Yes I agree with you on that. Although in England the Church's are small and the same thing happens. Or as someone in the music business once said "Its like making Elvis King, worshipping his guitar or visiting Gracelands but not knowing any of his songs".

So when Jesus says this below, what LAW is he referring to do you think? "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."

No you are not going to be unsaved for breaking the commandments as Jesus forgives. But that doesn't mean they are not a good way to follow. What's wrong with them? Do you think they are hard? I find the Sabbath one the hardest actually..... Yes we are all sinners and not one can keep them (we...

Thanks for explaining that. By the way, I am not a new Christian (just new on the Forum). I have been studying the Word of God for over 40 years and still learning I use the KJV for the reasons here. For nearly 400 years the King James Version remained unchallenged as the standard English...

Hello Mindi. Of course I will pray for you and I am sure others that see your post will as well. I have been in that situation many times myself in the past and know what you are going through as I am sure others have.

So those who pray privately all over the earth not in the "tongues" you speak of are not praying in the Spirit? So you think God doesn't understand all tongues and languages? How come the "Spirit" can all of a sudden understand in Church then? Yet in the church I had rather speak five words...

Hello Rob (I am a new person). Just out of interest which Bible do you prefer then?

Well yes I am sure your are right and God would not have let him have a heart attack. It probably felt like that to him though as it must have been pretty bad his thoughts knowing what was to come upon everyone. He might have felt like he was having a heart attack or palpitations as you say...

I agree Cherie. Sometimes just by reading it we get a picture in our mind (even if we are slow to understand) and the words these prophets speak resound within us. We say to ourselves "ah yes, isn't that what Jeremiah said" or whatever. I must say though, most of us like a pretty picture and...

Thank you so much for saying that and yes, I agree the whole story of King Saul was rather sad and very much like someone in "two minds" so to speak. Lets hope we have a harp to hand when we meet anyone like that. And yes, sorry I will try and get the hang of the forum buttons and reply...

I agree Baptism is not necessary if it is not available. When the Criminal on the Cross asked Jesus to "Remember me when you come into your Kingdom", Jesus didn't reply "well actually you cant come in as you have not been Baptised.". Jesus said unto him, "Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt...

Thank you for the reply and also for showing me how to post threads correctly......I have not done this before so thanks! I was actually referring to King Saul not Saul Paul. The first started off "head and shoulders" above the others and got worse and the other (Saul/Paul) started off worse...
