True. But be sure that you recognize who is focused on Christ and who is focused on a corrupted merger of Christ with our savage ancestors' version of God as a vengeful, wrathful, jealous punisher who must be appeased by blood sacrifice. Those are the wolves in sheep's clothing. Christ smote no one despite scourging and crucifixion because He loved us all. His message of love is what really matters and following His commands to "love God and each other" are how we pay attention to Christ.

In regards to the OT do you believe the 5th commandment was directly from God or mans command?

5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

Why do you Christians have the OT in your bibles?

Why have you embraced the myths of the gods and heroes of the Jews?
Why have you turned away from your ancestral heritage?
Why do you thing the Jew's story is right and your own wrong?

There's another one of those contradictory verses from a God that is portrayed as contradictory by the men who wrote about him...God said later on that the one who sins will be the one who is punished. So what do we believe???

In other words, anyone who doesn't 100% agree with you on all theological matters.

Why are you being coy? Argue your point against the post to which you're alluding. This call to superstition isn't productive.

The OT was carnally interpreted by ignorant, superstitious savages under a fear of a vengeful, wrathful God who required blood sacrifices to appease Him. They used their only reference for motivations . . . human leaders and their weaknesses . . . to assign motives to their God. But our God has no such human weaknesses or motives. Our savage ancestors were incapable of understanding anything else . . . that is why the OT was their "schoolmaster" and fear was only the beginning of wisdom . . . not the end.

Yes you should love your neighbor and your enemies .... Sure there may be so-called wolves in sheep clothing around giving rise to antichrist, and the false prophet in their lives ..... So if they do not have control over your spiritual development , it is best to let it go and give it to the Lord to judge........ I remember about ten years ago my Pastor just started to be the lead Pastor of my church , but he had a pride problem ..... Then one meeting the former Pastor came a prayed for the passion of the New Pastor which was ` to be a Shepherd Pastor and be anointed to Know who the wolves in the church to take care of these people once and for all......which goes against the character of Holy Spirit who will not condemn any one or give gifts to do that....... BUT I believe they were deceived as Just like Judas satan entered the New Pastor , that very week the pastor got extremely sick with cancer , where he then lost his weight and died two months later .... So it is best to obey the commandments of love your neighbor and your enemies and let it go if you get into ought ,...As Christians and Christians in ministry need to stick to the Lord , and know His character , as Jesus will keep sickness away or very temporary if faith is full....

But we still must reasonably apply his words, and humans and their weaknesses continue to be a problem in application. Therefore, your argument is erroneous.
