I prefer to LISTEN to what He says....so much more personal, don't you think?

Where in the bible does Jesus say--READ MY WORDS?

Most of what I read on the Christianity forum:
  • Fear and obey, fear and obey, fear and obey.
  • The self righteous shall inherit the earth.
It's no wonder Christianity and religion in the US has been slowly declining for decades...

The correlation between religion and being a decent human being continues to weaken. Some of the best people I know are spiritual but not religious. Some of the biggest hypocrites I know would describe themselves as very religious.

OK, make it easier, where did Jesus say to read the bible?

Only the Bible is the revealed word of God. To go by anything else is to go by something from the world which has been corrupted. It will never give us a clear picture of the one holy God, though what it portrays are shadows of him (like the works of creation and certain human characteristics). As the Holy Spirit explains to us through John's gospel, the word was God. Jesus is the word made flesh. Time and time again throughout his recorded life, Jesus quotes scripture and asks people who ask him things, "Have not your read...?" He clearly expects his followers to have a good grasp of the words which God has revealed to us.

The written word is 2000 years old..obviously there is a difference, since I HEAR Jesus say LOVE, MERCY and JUSTICE and you read HATE. DISCRIMINATION. and PUNISHMENT...

So many worship their idea of Jesus, not the real Jesus.



All who know what the bible really teaches knows its impossible for Jesus to be God and get worship.
In the ot 100% clear--God is king of eternity--Jesus had to be appointed-king( Dan 7:13-15)--so Fact--If Jesus were God, he was already king, but he wasn't he had to appointed king--then he must hand it back to his God and Father and subject himself)1Cor 15:24-28)


One must ask--Does God have a God?= NO
Can the king of eternity have to be appointed as king?=NO.
Why must Jesus hand the kingdom back to his God and Father?
Are trinity translations filled with errors to fit false Catholicism council teachings= YES.

Isn't that what the scriptures say (bolded above)? That sums up John 3:16 perfectly.

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish (justice), but have eternal life (mercy)." -Jesus

You haven't shown me anything that opposes scripture.

You're changing the subject. What is Jesus telling you in 2017 that is different than what He is recorded as saying in scripture?
