I know the path that he walked, it shows it in the NT, however, I have yet to see someone claiming to be Christian actually walking as he walked, in other words, following his example, walking in his footsteps...In other words, I see by observation, not by someone telling me this...
They did follow in His footsteps, and were murdered for their convictions
and for following Him. This is how Christianity was able to spread, despite
the blood of the martyrs who did not entice physical rebellion against the
secular powers, but a conversion of the hearts of men and women.
It is important not to read the New Testment, or any of the Holy Bible
in a verse-specific manner, as if these sentences were meant to be
stand-alone dogmas.
The Bible was not written broken down into separate verses.
Good reminder. I think too many people forget that. Unfortunately, one of the negative side effects of the chapter/verse breakdown was that it encourages some to pull pieces out of context and use them in a manner other than they were meant.

Of course not...Chapters and verses did not appear until about the middle ages...
I see millions divided into 40 plus different denominations claiming to hold the truth and all dancing to their own tunes...

I've been over there on the Judaism forum watching you guys fight over whether it was ok for a guy to use jumper cables to help a stranded motorist on Shabbos, so don't point fingers, lol.
The problem is that Christians do not know me nor the will of God nor the name of my heavenly Father.
The man who keeps the commandments he has from me is the man who loves me and the man who loves me shall be loved by my Father ,I too shall love him, and reveal myself to him.
All those who call on the name of my heavenly Father and do His will shall be saved.
You know, Richard, if a goy went over to the Judaism forum and started asking why Jews don't follow Torah, he or she would be pelted with slap downs and reported to the mods. You are Jewish, not Christian. You said that to me recently.
Have the same respect for others' faiths that you demand for your own.
Maybe when Christians get rid of their edited version of the Tanakh and just use their NT and stop calling their faith an Abrahamic religion and admit that Christianity is a new religion that popped up 2000 years ago with no ties to Judaism or being an Abrahamic religion, I'll comply, but as long as they attach themselves to Jews via their Christian edited version of the Tanakh and claim things such as being spiritual Israel because G-d has rejected Israel or that we missed our true Mashiach, etc....It's fair game...

I've asked this a hundred times....I want a list of those supposed 40k denominations. No one has ever provided it. Why do you continue to make the statement?

I'm not pointing fingers...If folks would just go and read the Tanakh themselves without any pre-conceived notions, they would begin to have questions...I have an open mind and therefore study everything...
