OK, I understand you don't obey all commandments of Jesus. If you think all of those commandments are for us, and their observance is necessary for our salvation, why don't you obey them?

So, you mean Christians are supposed to obey all commandments given by Jesus to the Jews? Jesus, for example, said: 38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’[a]39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them...

Jesus said: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me". Were the disciples supposed to follow Jesus up until the cross only? No! Part II of the Gospel lay ahead and that means the disciples were supposed thereafter to follow Christ by following...

So, before His last minute of life on earth He had not yet completely fulfilled the Law, and therefore the law of Moses was in force throughout His earthly ministry.

I'm asking you! Did Paul ever say that only very few will be saved?

What you say is correct for all God's people after the cross, but not for the Jews before the cross. Let's read: …23Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye...

That was just a "politically correct" attitude of Paul to win some Jews.

Sexual advances in the work place are usually made by men. Women normally don't do that; when they are interested in someone they just give the green light. If you are constantly being harassed by your female co-workers probably you are extremely handsome, or extremely rich, or maybe you're the...

Hello, brother Journeyman! But fact is that there are some disagreements between the teachings of the earthly Jesus and the Risen One. The earthly Jesus preached obedience to the law of Moses, whereas Paul (the risen Jesus' spokesman) said we are not under the law. Jesus told the man cured from...

and when did Jesus fulfill the Law?

You're right, He never said: "You are under the Law ", but He told His disciples to obey the Law: 18 For I tell you truly, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 So then, whoever breaks one of...

Some of the earthly Jesus' teachings are eternal. Ex.: Blessed are the poor in spirit. Some were not. Ex.: Obey the scribes and Pharisees. Paul said we are not under the Law and therefore we don't have to follow any teacher of the law of Moses.

I can't count how many times I've been called a false teacher, false prophet, truth twister, etc, for saying that. But the truth is: when you follow Paul you are following the risen Christ. And ... in case of conflict, the words of the risen Christ take precedence over the words of the earthly...

Christians should not hate any thing, but there is something that I can't keep myself from hating: sexual advancement in the workplace. An ex co-worker of mine told me a story that is a bit different from the topic above, but shows how mean some employers can be: My ex co-worker was unemployed...

We appreciate your candidness and I think your concern is not totally without merit. Most people here are nice, but there are a few who are not so nice. I've been called false prophet, false teacher, truth twister, etc, many times and yet I'm still alive. See? :p Don't worry! Welcome to...

I love cats too! This is Pipim, one of our two cats.

Very nice introduction, Holly! Welcome to Christian Chat. :)

The assertion is not mine, it's David Bivin's, an Old Testament scholar.

Heaven and earth has not yet passed away and therefore we Christians are supposed to keep the whole law of Moses, right? Oh, now I see you're a law pusher! I hadn't realized that before; I thought you were advocating that the New Covenant came into effect at the beginning of Jesus' earthly...

Yes, Jesus fulfilled the Law. . http://ourrabbijesus.com/articles/what-fulfill-the-law-meant-in-its-jewish-context/ To Fulfill the Torah The translation of “to fulfill” is lekayem in Hebrew (le-KAI-yem), which means to uphold or establish, as well as to fulfill, complete or accomplish...
