I do not know what you are trying to say. The greatest of the commandments as it is written is --hear O Israel the Lord your God is one Lord. You shall love the Lord your God with all your mind, with all your heart------------ and to love your neighbour as yourself. We are also told that the...

A Christian does not have to be a Catholic to know and acknowledge the role our Father God used the virgin mother to play in his plan of salvation for mankind. It saddens me to see people disparage her the way you have done in this post. Calling her their Mary is derogatory. We know how...

Because, love is the fulfilment of the law in the first place. However, Jesus answered him thus because he knew the lawyer was only tempting him and not sincere in heart. For he cannot achieve the standard of love required through the stipulations of the law without following Jesus.

And for you to be perfect, you must part with the inordinate pleasures of the flesh -----lust of the flesh/the eyes and pride of life

I do not see any difference between what Jesus is saying here with what Paul taught concerning the law. Paul taught that it is impossible to achieve righteousness of God through the law. The only way to achieve righteousness is by following Jesus. Jesus told the richman, you lack one thing...

It seems we now want to move from the principles of the doctrine of Christ unto perfection (Hebrew 6:1 -3). This sounds great. But this post coming from Throughfaith with this, his observation method, I wonder. Anyway, this is by the way. Off course, Jesus meant what he says 100%. As...

"Pilgrimshope, posted] the difference is needing to be commanded under punishment of death to honor ones parents , versus being born again and having that respect and honor being imprinted upon our heart so that we don’t need to be commanded under death to do so “honor your parents , if not...

which then shows that they are still relevant in our days. I believe that the 10 commandments are still relevant to us What changed is the methodology of achieving them which the gospel thoroughly explained. Unfortunately, most of us are still sitting on Moses seat like the Pharisees and...

Then, what do you say about Paul"'s saying in Ephesians 6:2-3 Honour your father and mother which is the first commandment with promise that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth. We can agree here that Paul was quoting the fourth commandment (of the 10 commandment} as...

Noted. Thanks. For now, I have no interest in studying the Mormons. I would rather use the time to read my bible or do other more engaging things.

The same things I said in my previous posts apply here too. We know that Jesus did not preach to the Jews alone, he also preached to non Jews as well. What do you say about that, seeing your quote in Matthew 15:24? Even when Paul's teachings were questioned by the Gentiles, and...

If I must have opinion on his teachings, I must see for myself that which he teaches. I cannot base my opinion on your own understanding of his belief -- with all courtesy observed.

How do I know? I may have to look at what he believes in to see if I agree with him or not based on my own understanding of the scripture.

Well, one major difference between the scripture and other history books is that we take the letters of the History books on their face value for that is exactly what they are. The words of God contained in the scripture as Jesus tells us are spirit and they are life. Therefore, the spirit in...

That was as he understood.

No I don't. You can pray harder!!

Some see the letter of the word and draw their conclusions based on the letter. Others see the letter of the word and look beyond the letter to see the principle behind the word or the spirit in the word. They cannot arrive at the same conclusion. I therefore say to each according to his...

What do you mean?

Well, I do not know much about Joseph Smith or the Mormons. How do I comment on what I do not know?

By your own understanding, yes. By my own understanding, it has multiple applications.
