I am sorry that I didn't answer.
One last time -
If I recall I asked you three questions earlier that you never answered.
1. Do you have a final authority? Please, a simple yes or no will do.
2. What is this final authority if you answered yes to #1?
(And please, refrain from saying God for we all know this and # 3 covers this.)
3. Can you put your hands on this final authority?
I am sorry I had to leave for a bit.
I have given you the answer.
But I guess you do not understand my speech.
Yes.
It is foolish for you to even say that the authority in which you proclaim is the bible. The written letter.
Especially when Paul proclaims "The letter (Sacred books, scrolls, writings) Kills- It is the spirit that gives life. Jesus said the words (Not the written letter) that I speak to you are spirit and life.
The bible as you proclaim was not even written when this was stated!
The bible is a wonderful tool to be used in your life. But do not exalt it above this measure.
When you do it becomes an "Idol of your heart"
The bible as we know it came 400 years after Christ.
Do you understand that they don't tell you it lacks 14 entire books which were in the original King James of 1611. They don't tell you the King James Bible has been changed many times in the last 350 years and there have been thousands of corrections! They don't tell you the King James Bible was never authorized by anyone. They don't tell you the original KJV had a calendar of annual Holy days which all believers were to follow such as: Purification of the virgin Mary, annunciation of our Lady, Innocents day, etc.. They don't tell you the Greek text used by the King James translators produced by Erasmus, a Roman Catholic humanist monk, did not have manuscripts that contained all 27 books of the New Testament, so he borrowed out of the Latin Catholic Vulgate! No, they can't tell you these things because that would be the end of the lie which has kept them in business.
6who also made us sufficient [to be] ministrants of a new covenant, not of letter, but of spirit; for the letter doth kill, and the spirit doth make alive.
7and if the ministration of the death, in letters, engraved in stones, came in glory, so that the sons of Israel were not able to look stedfastly to the face of Moses, because of the glory of his face -- which was being made useless,
8how shall the ministration of the Spirit not be more in glory?
Does
"You have heard it said in ancient times, eye for eye, and tooth for tooth."
Go against
"but I -- I say to you, not to resist the evil, but whoever shall slap thee on thy right cheek, turn to him also the other;"
Christ was going against what the written letter commanded was He not?
Does"Love your enemy," agree with, "hate your enemy?" Christ is here, teaching against the 'law of Moses.' Does "Swear not at all," agree with Deu 10:20 - "Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name." Christ is here, again, teaching against the 'law of Moses.' Does Mat 5:38 - "Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth" - agree with Mat 5:39 - "But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also." Christ is here, also, teaching against the 'law of Moses.'
Apparantly Christ was putting away "The commandments of the Law"
But unfortunantly you do not have eyes to see nor ears to hear.
Does Christ deny that He had broken the law? No, He affirms it. 'As David did, so I and my disciples are doing that which is unlawful.' Does He deny 'profaning the sabbath?' No, He actually points out that He too is doing exactly as "the priests in the temple ... on the sabbath day." And what then is the reason He gives for His blatant disregard for the 'law of Moses?' Here is the only reason He gives:
Eze 14:7 For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to a prophet [or the scripture] to enquire of him concerning me; I the LORD will answer him by myself:
Eze 14:8 And I will set my face against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD. Eze 14:9 And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
I am sorry but you are deceived.
