That has more to do with a lost following.

exactly. Jesus is not the equivalent of the copious and often dubious interpretations of His teachings, which even by human standards are impeccable and utterly unimpeachable.

Note you say it is the message of Messiah, Jesus. Yet you do not quote a single verse saying this. I find this constantly Christians say the Old Testament supports yet can not quote anything from it supporting it. Or they might know Isaiah 52-53. Most not that it starts in 52. They ignore all the parts that do not fit but prophecy either all fits or you are not using it properly.

when understood. that's the trick. takes eons or something. who knows. if you're only as old as you feel, i should be dirt by now.

😂

and He STILL isn't finished straightening me out.

Remember Jesus said, "you search the scriptures daily, for in them you think you have life."

hahaha

It's not about being able to memorize and quote the scripture. It's about living in the word.

A little humor...

Indeed in them I have life.

Jesus finishes that with "when in fact the scripture points to my life."

Not in the scripture. In the word you have life.

Luke 24. Did not we burn in our hearts as he spoke. Jer 17:9.

He gives us a new mind, a new life. Of ourselves, we can't get shit done. Really. Humility is pounded in there in this gig of humanness.

I find life in the Old Testament. Death a sinner in the New Testament.

Steve, idk what you're getting at. Your whole message seems to be about division and taking Jesus out of it

Backwards

As fuck

all words are in fact already known to only point to things, attempts at descriptions. Essence is one thing. All we can ever do is point to a Higher Truth that actually can't be put into words.

Perhaps there should be a theology area? Love the passion around here.

Steve, lots of Jesus freaks here. maybe we can pick one of the other topics.

The Old Testament was about death and judgment and sin. The New Testament is about washing all of that away

here is a pdf version if ya need it

I am being careful. Christians develop a love for God and I want to encourage that. If they die sinners I have no problem with that. I see Christianity help millions of people so I encourage that. My path is not easy to pursue.

ty. Did you post in volunteerhq, too?

here is a pdf if ya need it

i tried but im locked out for some reason

I can post it if needed

plz do, i want this to go viral lol

I look at the Old Testament as the Red Pill. If you take the blinders off and literally believe it it opens up the world to you. It is just a difficult path to pursue.

My point is it's not about dividing them. I sent you a dm about it so to not clog up this board though.

@Deleted User done!

Did you write the 400 page document @Deleted User

I was active in Christianity the entire 62 years. Taught Sunday School and even went to peoples houses to help them know Christ.

noo i found it from an anon here, but the doc that the link is in is origionally mine

thx @Eureka

I believe you. Continue the OT talk in the side dm chat though.

No problem.
