Does that make me a righteous, free thinking man?

I know one thing, you do not abide in the word of the One who sent me. Get behind me and you will live.

the question is how? for now, the only way I see it being completed is having all the possibilites happening. And that method was set at the moment of the "birth". ying yang, or the ever popular "the ol' in and out"

"The Lord God does nothing without revealing His secrets to His servant's the prophets."

"The Lord guides the humble to justice and He teaches the meek his way."


"There will be wailing and grinding of the teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of heaven but you yourselves cast out."

"Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets before you."

Jesus said we are to follow Him and the son of man. What He did pleased God as He stated.

"I do nothing on my own, I only say what the Father has taught me for the One who sent me is with me He has not deserted me because I always do what pleases Him." (Jesus)

So He expects us to please the Father.

So why does it say in the book of John that He gave the words given to Him to His followers and sent them as He was sent? Why does it say to worship in the truth, the word of God to serve God alone?

Why did He say to remain in His love by keeping His commandments just as He kept His Father's commandments which were the word of God because God commanded Him what to say so in turn we have been commanded what to say?

"I have given them the words you gave me and they have accepted them"

"As you sent me so I have sent them"

"Abide in my love. You will abide in my love if you keep my commandments just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in His love."

"The Father who sent me commanded me what to say and how to speak and since I know His commandment is eternal life what I say is spoken just as He instructed me."
