Unfortunately, most of those who think they're righteous are "dead men walking" pursuant to Ezekiel 18:13 (KJV).
Anyone with a personal interest bearing bank account is not a member in good standing in any religion that proscribes usury.
(Remember, even Jesus whipped the usurers from the temple!)

Are you saying that if you have a personal interest bearing bank account you are going to hell?

Christ wouldn't have come and be relevant if we were just continue the angry God of the Jews and the OT. Maybe you just tear out the Gospels so they don't interfere with the rest?
Christ also cursed the towns of Chorasin and Bethesda.

Christ has many sides, not just the gentle, meek, loving ,forgiving.

Thoreau, if this is upsetting to you, just skip it. We don't want you offended.


Luk 10:13* Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.*

Luk 10:14* But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.*

Luk 10:15* And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.*

Luk 10:16* He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.*


It's necessary to give folks the whole counsel of God, not just a one side.

Someone created the entire universe of hundreds of billions (maybe trillions) of galaxies , and he is angry! He is coming for us and he is going to F us up! All people except the Christians will be tortured in horrifying, unbelievable pain, for 10 billion years! Because said creator loved you and you didn't love him back. Deranged stalker type behavior.

That is why there needs to be an understanding of context

Parable, everything that Jesus said was in parable form, everything.

We are also told that everything he said was in parable form that anyone can read, but not understand.

Uh. No.

“Blessed is he who hears the word of the Lord and keeps it.”

No parable but many misinterpret it.

Parable.

You kook up the entire history of the people who he is talking about, who they were, what they did, what their names mean, and why he is referencing them and what is has to do with Ephraim and Judah.

Jesus didnt say anything out right, everything he said was cloaked and meant something you dont think.

Oh no, some sinners are under Gods wrath even now Jn 3:36

36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

No way Christ died for them, they will never see life !
