="TruthTalk, post: 3781800, member: 258872"]Please tell me Studyman, why did the Pharisees hate Jesus, because Jesus was full of good and mercy and grace. But the Pharisee's were full of hypocrisy, condemnation, and self-righteousness. If Jesus did something good the Pharisees were quick to step in and criticize. Quote: If Jesus came along and healed a little puppy the Pharisees would come and criticize His work and kick the dog.
It was not the man Jesus' treatment of puppies that the Mainstream Preachers of Christ time hated. It was His obedience to God which is known throughout the Bible as "Righteousness."
Psalms 119:
172 My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments
are righteousness.
1 John 3:
7 Little children, let no man deceive you:
he that doeth righteousness is righteous,
even as he is righteous.
Heb. 11:
4 By faith Abel offered unto God
a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness
that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
1 John 3:
11 For this is the message
that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
12 Not as Cain,
who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother.
And wherefore slew he him?
Because his own works were evil,
and his brother's righteous.
The Mainstream Preachers of Christ's time hated Him because He was Righteous, just as Cain hated His Brother because he was righteous.
If Jesus had followed their religion which transgressed God's Commandments by their own religious traditions, they would have Loved Him. But Jesus didn't follow Man's religion or man's religious traditions, He followed the "Good" Just and Holy Commands of His Father, many of which the Mainstream Preachers of His time had "Omitted" from their religion as it is written.
The Mainstream Preachers of His time were call Hypocrites" because they called the God of Abraham Lord, Lord, but refused to walk in His Commandments. Through out the entire Bible it was those who called this God Lord, who were the true enemy of God's People. Abel was killed by his "Christian" brother Cain, Caleb was almost stoned to death by the congregation of the Lord for simply stating the Truth about God and having true Faith in Him.
All the Prophets were hated, not because they were nice to puppies, but because they surrendered their lives to God, while the others who claimed God's Mercy only served Him with their lips. Both Jesus and Stephen were killed by the only God of Abraham preaching people on the planet.
As a preacher you should know these truths. Not reject and hide from them.
and once more your posts reveal that you never refer to "The Christ" as "Jesus" only as "the Christ" For Pete's sake He is a person and it is only right that we refer to our Savior with His personal name, "Jesus." like the song goes, "There's Just Something about that Name.
Take a seat with the Pharisee's Studyman you've earned it.
I explained my disgust of how you and your religions of the land have created images of God in the likeness of a long haired men's hair shampoo model and have plastered this image all over the world to the extent that this fraud is known planet wide as the man Jesus. You and I both know this is a lie, yet you promote the religion which did this with every post.
You reject His First and Greatest Commandment by doing to Him what you would never want me to do to you or your children.
Imagine if I were to create an image of your daughter or son which you had asked, rather, commanded that I not do. And I created an image which was photo shopped to show your daughter as a sex goddess and then plastered this image with her name on it all over the world, naked.
Or if I created an image of your son who had died in a war or a gang killing, an image which was not Him, but a fraud, and the image of Him was the last seconds of his life laying on the ground bloody as he is stripped naked, tortured, beaten and killed. Then I placed your son's name on this image and plastered it in every house on the planet for 2000 years.
You have no fear, no shame, and no Love. At least not God's Love. And when I hear you preach about how you can treat your own Savior in such a way and expect His Father to grant you the same Mercy He granted those who the religious men of the world hated and killed, it burns in my heart.
This is only one of many sins the White washed walls of our time promote. I haven't even started talking about placing His Holy name on Pagan Festivals while rejecting His Sabbaths that He created for us to "Walk in".
So you go ahead and mock, ridicule and deflect TT. I would expect nothing more. But know that it is my wish that you would at least consider the warnings, and "believe"
Heb. 12:
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom
which cannot be moved,
let us have grace,
whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God
is a consuming fire.
