I haven't made any claims about the Law because I think it is from man. The "word" and the "law" are two different things. The "word" represents wisdom. Wisdom gives life, and is not contained in written letters. It is the spirit.
To suggest that the Pharisees did NOT promote the law is pretty bizarre. I don't know how far you had to reach to pull that out. To compare an anti-religious person to a Pharisee is just really bizarre. I don't understand that.
Also, Satan did not quote from the law but from the Psalms. The Psalms are not considered part of the law.
I don't believe for one minute that Jesus preferred to stick with religious tradition, he meets us where we are and to the Jew he will meet them on their level, he meets the fundamentalist on their level(and they always get their arses whipped). Meeting someone on their level does not mean you compromise your own state of being. It says of him he became poor(our disposition through belief in separation from God) for the purpose of bringing us to his state of consciousness 2 Cor 8:9
True, and to the perverse, God will show himself to be perverse (it's in the Old Testament)
God resists the proud but extends grace to the humble.

Amen! Rbbi has no understanding of God or Jesus because he is driven entirely by the law and the desire to OBEY what he THINKS are God's laws to avoid God's wrath.

Speaking of perverseness, I don't know which one of you is the most perverse in your thinking, and you clearly don't read my posts except to try to find something to jump on your favorite bandwagon about. Peace

But if all of your posts are from the same mindset and substance, then it would not really matter what post a person chose to respond to. You have made it clear that you are obedient to the god of this world.

Rbbi, the God you describe and believe in is a monstrous God and no 21st-century civilized human being should EVER believe the barbaric things you accept as the motivations of God. The very idea of a blood sacrifice of innocent creatures as an appeasement, even from the very beginnings of time, would require a completely primitive and barbaric mindset to believe and accept. How on earth today's supposedly civilized and enlightened minds could EVER accept such thinking is completely beyond my ken. To say your thinking is anachronistic is to completely understate the problem.
