This is how to follow the Lord Jesus. Who can explain?

[Godsgood]

You keep claiming these things despite having no evidence to support them, and not knowing anything about me.

You keep claiming these things despite having no evidence to support them
It is the truth and I must keep sharing what is the truth.
You can avoid the truth but you can't deny it.

and not knowing anything about me
Yes, I don't know anything about you but the way you speak to the words of God & attitude you are being revealed by Lord Jesus Christ.

Read the entire Matthew Chapter 23.
Look at the Scribes & Pharisees (Preachers). With the way they speak to the words of God plus their attitude, Jesus revealevd them.

Then Jesus gave the warning to his chosen.
MATTHEW 16:6
6 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

I reject your slanderous assertions about me because they are not the truth.

 

[Undergrace1]

You may not stop the spreading of the truth.
Because God would not allow those who don't want to enter into the kingdom of heaven and they are shutting the door of heaven to the others.
You may shut the door of heaven for you.
But let the others who want to enter.
MATTHEW 23
13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.

Indeed, the pharisees quoted the random letter literalistically insisting it be fully obeyed when they could not do it themselves.
They missed out on the most important things in the process

With respect, you aren’t helping him by affirming his erroneous beliefs. He is stuck in the delusion that all of Scripture is parables because of a couple of verses that speak to specific scenarios.

 

[Ceph]

The HOW is something i've wrestled with myself. We can't know the HOW. We will never know the HOW.
We only know what has happened. Christ healed people. Miracles (which are my favorite topic) continue to this day. Some are even mass-miracles.
Nobody knows the HOW. Anyone who tries to tell you otherwise, forgive them.
I experienced 3 major miracles myself and all i had as a comfort (before the miracles happened to me) was the fact that miracles have happened in the past to others and Christ was here with us giving us hope in this cruel world in order so we can have light inside our hearts to deal with the world and see the good things even in the midst of war, suffering, famine, tragedies, accident, disease and many other afflictions and injustices.

Forgive me, but,
You know how console commands in video games and creating virtual environments in things like Blender and game engines work?
How -you- are the cameras perspective, but the camera itself is of no account to the virtual world? How you add, manipulate, and change attributes to things with the keyboard and mouse, and the input devices are above the virtual space, beyond the virtual space, not in the virtual space, but still the manipulator of everything in there?
Even the camera may be in the virtual world, but the camera itself doesn't know the screen/monitor it's displaying to.

And how with those data minupulation powers you can give ceartain objects and items 'magic' attributes to them, like invisible boxes that are loading zones, weapons that ban people, and other sorts of things that stuff in virtual worlds do?
Then cheats give you stuff like x-ray, noclip, seeing ceartain things though walls and drawing straight lines to them, and having debug menus that show you hidden values for all things.

I think that kind of computer stuff is a very crude example of the mystery of Gods power.
All he needs to do is 'click' on someone and type '/heal' from his 'keyboard, mouse, and monitor.'

 

[Godsgood]

I reject your slanderous assertions about me because they are not the truth.

If your recognition to Jesus (the real Jesus) is not a revelation from the Father (Matthew 16:15-17). What you believe and share is not the truth.
Because the truth is only coming from the real Jesus.
JOHN 14:6
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Same when you're not knowing who God the Father is.
You can't walk in the truth.
PSALMS 26:3
3 For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.

 

[Undergrace1]

Laying aside for now the old covenant was in operation at the time, why did Jesus not respond with John3:16 to the young man's question? Because he knew him before he asked the question.
He, like many today believed he obeyed the TC, turns out the young man didn't obey the greatest commandment of all

 

[Godsgood]

With respect, you aren’t helping him by affirming his erroneous beliefs. He is stuck in the delusion that all of Scripture is parables because of a couple of verses that speak to specific scenarios.

I'm sharing the truth for those who are seeking for it.
I'm not forcing everyone to believe me or convincing them.
Because according to Lord Jesus if ever the listener will not believe then just leave.
MATTHEW 10:14
14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.

In your case your sharing is not according to the real Jesus. Because you are forcing & convincing the readers.

No wonder why even you said I don't know anything about you.
But the way you speak and with your attitude, you are being revealed by Lord Jesus again.

The Scribes & pharisees they were being revealed by Lord Jesus with the way they speak in the words of God and with their attitude. And so The Lord Jesus warned his chosen in Matthew 16:6.

you aren’t helping him by affirming his erroneous beliefs. He is stuck in the delusion that all of Scripture is parables because of a couple of verses that speak to specific scenarios.
Look at the Jews in the New Testament particularly Scribes and Pharisees the way they speak with their attitude same as yours.
They are forcing and convincing the others not to listen to Jesus.
JOHN 10:20
20 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?

 

[Suze]

This morning I read Isaiah chapters 29 , 30 , 31+32 . These tell us exactly what God wants us to do all the time . Chapter 30 is especially instructive and , I find , very calming and reassuring . Chapter 30 verse 15 , For thus saith the Lord GOD , the Holy One of Israel ; In returning and rest shall ye be saved ; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength : and ye would not . Let's not be like the rebellious faithless Israelites of those days , running to Egypt for safety when they should have trusted in their God and obeyed His commands to stay put and don't fret . God sees everyone , but He especially keeps His eyes on His flock , that's us . All the crazy things going on in the world at the moment , anyone would b slightly unnerved by the madness around us . But , we r not just anyone , we r Christians , and we know to Whom we belong , so we need to stay calm and listen for His Voice , chapter 30 verses 18-21 . Verse 21 , And thine ears shall hear a Word behind thee , saying , This is the Way , walk ye in it , when ye turn into the right hand , and when ye turn to the left .
Jesus is the Way . He is the peace of God that passeth all understanding . If we r walking in him then , we will b calm and assured whatever we c going on in this world . We r under our Saviours wings , let's just learn to stay there and trust in his redeeming blood .

I know exactly what you’re saying here and the computer analogy is what I use to explain limited free will in the relation of Creator and creation.
While I understand that The Creator can bend the rules of creation with admin credentials we won’t know the actual details - just like in a virtual game - so we can bend the rules.
The number 1 rule of any game is that you’re not in admin or developer mode.
You’re in user mode.
So I get what you’re saying but I will never know why or how I got a miracle and why others don’t.
I talk to Him daily to give me a sign for others, especially a family member who passed away.
But I won’t know the how or the when.
I also don’t know why He isn’t here yet … because I felt Him so close many times and I also don’t know why He works in mysterious ways.
You could say at this point I have become like Paul with a thorn in the flesh which I’ll carry with me until the end.

“My grace is enough for you” - He said

So you have to talk to God like your literal father. Even better than a literal father actually. He is our real and primary source of life so we have to talk to Him daily pouring our hearts out and express all the emotions to Him so He can comfort us in His ways.

I think the whole course of creation is arranged so that he can eventually finally dwell in this world, in his humble, vulnerable state, without having the threat of sinners killing him; which he already demonstrated would happen even if he is the most harmless, freindly, and beneficial man on earth.
And that every single person he's going to love will have their perfect form of uniqueness in conqoring struggles to be good towards him, while he can thourougly determine all the wicked souls who will never learn anything to be unworthy of life with him.

Yes, the Greatest Commandment of all must be obeyed.

Can you share the greatest commandment according to the Lord Jesus?

 

[Undergrace1]

Yes, the Greatest Commandment of all must be obeyed.

Can you share the greatest commandment according to the Lord Jesus?

Im sure you could have shared it:
Love the Lord your God with all your heart......

Amen!
This is our basic prayer "Your will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven"

To complete the greatest commandment of all are in this verses.
MARK 12:28-31
28 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?

29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

Do you notice which is the 1st greatest commandment of all?

Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. 35 One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[c] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. Luke22:34-38

You feel the need for a grand theological debate about it?

As I observed. Since the question is WHICH IS THE FIRST COMMANDMENT OF ALL?
Then Jesus answered THE FIRST OF ALL THE COMMANDMENTS IS.
Isn't it the 1st greatest commandment of all is the verse 29 and the verse 30 is just a continuation of the verse 29 and so there is the word AND?
Therefore the entire greatest first commandment is verse 29 & 30.

Wow, incredible, pat yourself on the back

Wow, incredible, pat yourself on the back

i have been refuting his errors for months, but he has chosen not to learn.

 

[Dino246]

29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

That, by itself, is not a commandment. It is a statement; there is no required or restricted action. A commandment needs an action: “Do this” or “Don’t do this”.
