truespeak: Use the scriptures to show us where your enemy is also considered a neighbor. Is that too hard for you to prove? Because claiming your enemy can also be your neighbor is a barefaced lie. Jesus clarified that in the parable of the Good Samaritan. It was the person who did good to the robbed traveller that was considered his neighbor. Does your enemy show you that level of mercy to be considered a neighbor? What kind of lies are you spewing here? Show us in the Torah (Exodus to Deuteronomy) where God instructed the Israelites to “LOVE YOUR ENEMY” |

Dtruthspeaker: Another big facepalm. Did the Good Samaritan show mercy to the robbed traveler? Was it not on that basis he was considered his neighbor? Your level of ignorance is really nauseating. Let me pull out the scriptures for you to see, which you’ll still deny anyways. Conclusion to the Parable of the Good Samaritan. Luke 10 v 36-37; 36 “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?” 37 The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.” If someone has shown consistent mercy to you, is that person your enemy or your neighbor? Ogbeni open the Torah (Exodus to Deuteronomy) and show us where God instructed “LOVE YOUR ENEMY” Because putting your enemy under the umbrella of “neighbor” is a barefaced lie.

OkCornel: See Satan, did Christ or The Law say "Consistent Mercy"? Thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘Execute true justice, show mercy and compassion everyone to his brother Nothing like "Consistent Mercy", he standard is not stretched so Satan. Doing simple Mercies is Good enough!, Satan, so get out! 1 Like |

OkCornel:Bro you're absolutely right. Anyone who doesn't know that Jesus brought a new Law is ignorant of the Truth. That new Law is the Law of Christ which Paul said he was under as you rightly pointed out. Jesus said: The Law and the prophets prophesied until John: since that time the Kingdom of God is preached, and every man pressed into it. Luke 16:16 (KJV) Hence the era of the Law of Moses ended with Jesus forerunner John. Jesus ushered us into a new era, when the Kingdom of God was being preached. That was the era of His Law. Jesus was bringing something new, greater, and better to what already was, hence the need for John to come and prepare the way and hearts of men to makes things easier for Him, so that the change wouldn't be too drastic for them to accept. Even with that there was still much resistance to the new Law, but it would have been much worse had it not been for John's remarkable efforts. What people should understand is that God never changes, but man changes, so God has to change the way He deals with them. If He used His own Standard to follow the Israelites in the wilderness, He would have destroyed them because they were not willing but stiff-necked and rebellious. Hence you have laws like that of divorce which Moses gave to them, which was one of the Laws Jesus amended. Jesus said Moses gave it to them because of the hardness of their hearts not because it was the way God intended it to be in beginning or His own Standard. Matthew 19:3-8 It's different from dealing with a righteous man like Abraham, because he's willing, so God was able to use His own Standard of perfection to walk with him. Genesis 17:1. That's the same standard of the Law Jesus brought with Him which is to make us perfect as the Father is, a different standard from the Law of Moses which was strategically devised for a nation of stiff-necked and rebellious people to enable God fulfill His promises to Abraham concerning them. Matthew 5: 48. The new Law of Christ was meant for a nation of willing and obedient individuals which would make up His church and the kingdom of God which He would reinstate on Earth, even as it was in the beginning. Thanks and God bless. 1 Like 1 Share |

Dtruthspeaker: Still beating around the bush. How is the Good Samaritan an enemy when he showed mercy to the one that was robbed? Why do you guys love lying on the scriptures? Open the Torah (Exodus to Deuteronomy) and show us where God instructed “LOVE YOUR ENEMY” As far as the parable of the Good Samaritan goes, the one who shows mercy to you is your neighbor. How can such a person be your enemy? Where are you religious zealots so retarde*d in your critical thinking? |
Re: Many Christians Only Know The Law Of Moses But Not That Of Christ by OkCornel(m): 8:51am On Jun 24, 2021 |
The other day on this very thread, DTruthspeaker was unable to demonstrate to us how Genesis 16 v 12 is a curse to Ishmael but Genesis 49 v 8-9 & 16-17 is a blessing to Judah and Dan. Today, he’s trying spin another lie that your enemy can also be your neighbor. Whereas the parable of the Good Samaritan clearly demonstrates that it is the one who shows mercy that is considered to be a neighbor. It’s quite shameful to see lots of unlettered nut jobs who can’t get basic comprehension right, running amok and making the most noise on the religious section. Empty barrels really make the loudest noise. 1 Like |

Dtruthspeaker: To show you how dumb your assertion is, does that scripture you quote says “SHOW MERCY AND COMPASSION TO YOUR ENEMY?” Again, pull out the reference for that scripture and stop trying to be clever by half. Let’s all read that passage in CONTEXT. And yes! I deliberately used the word CONSISTENT MERCY, because if you have your basic comprehension working, the Good Samaritan showed multiple acts of mercy to the robbed traveller. 1. He bound his wounds 2. Took him to an inn at his own expense. 3. Ensured the robbed traveller was treated at his own expense! But hey, this one flew over your head no thanks your deficiency in basic and critical reasoning. Jeez! It’s a pity having to school someone on something too basic to miss. Who knows, na filthy rags your mumu fit wear tomorrow. Anyways, keep up the good show, you’re keeping us entertained. Cc Jesusjnr2020, Kobojunkie |

CAN SOMEONE HONEST SHOW ME THAT SCRIPTURAL REFERENCE THAT STATES YOUR ENEMY (YES THAT SAME ENEMY THAT STRIKES YOU ONE CHEEK AND YOU’RE EXPECTED TO TURN THE OTHER) IS ALSO YOUR NEIGHBOR? What kind of liars and ignorant folks do we have running amok in this religion section? If the parable of the Good Samaritan is anything to go by, your neighbor is the one who shows mercy to you. Biko, can someone who strike you on the cheek (an enemy) also be your neighbor? Religious zealots never cease to amaze me with the warped way of reasoning. 1 Like |

Another simple question for the religious nut jobs on this thread; According to the parable of the Good Samaritan, is the Priest and Levite also considered as neighbors to the robbed traveller? I want to see how these dumb religious zealots will twist around this one. Luke 10 v 29-37; Cc: Kobojunkie, Jesusjnr2020, MaxinDhouse |

Luke 10 v 29-37; 29 But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 30 In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii[e] and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’ 36 “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?” 37 The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.” Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.” Mr Truespeak and Dtruthspeaker, is the Levite and Priest in that passage also considered a neighbor to the robbed traveller? Cc: Kobojunkie, Jesusjnr2020, MaxinDHouse. And while at it, prove to us how an enemy can also be a neighbor at the same time. Patiently waiting. |

According to truespeak and Dtruthspeaker, in the parable of the talents, the robbers (enemies) who beat up the traveller and left him for dead are also neighbors to the traveller. Some people are really deficient in basic reasoning. Cc: Kobojunkie, Jesusjnr2020, MaxinDHouse 1 Like |

Notice how Truespeak and DTRUTHSPEAKER are quiet on whether the robbers, the Levite and the Priest are also neighbors to the robbed traveller. It’s to label someone Satan they can easily do, just as the hypocritical Pharisees and Sadducees did something similar to Jesus, accusing him of being in league with Belzeebub. Woe unto these blind lying teachers who twist the scriptures to their own destruction. Shameless lying religious zealots, that’s what you are. Cc: Kobojunkie, Jesusjnr2020, MaxinDHouse |

KNOWMORE56:If "neighbor" in the context of "love your neighbors as yourself" truly means all men including your enemies, then why did Jesus say, "Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy."? Matthew 5:43 (KJV) Or are you implying that Jesus didn't know that "neighbor" included the person's enemies, hence there was no need for that amendment? 1 Like 1 Share |

Dtruthspeaker: Again, you lied. Are the robbers, the Levite and the Priest also considered neighbors to the robbed traveller? Where did you answer this question?! Just answer let’s know who is lying between you and Jesus. Where in the scriptures are your enemies also considered your neighbor? Stop lying abeg. I’m repeating these questions because you have given no scriptural reference that proves; 1. Your enemy is also your neighbor. 2. The Torah (Specifically exodus to Deuteronomy) instructed Israelites to love their enemies! Stop lying on the scriptures. Are you this shameless? |

OkCornel:The way I see it, these characters are just here to spread lies and argue meaninglessly and endlessly , stroking their egos as they move from page to page spreading many of their obvious lies. These clearly do not care nor understand the ramifications of the lies they continue to disseminate in the name of God. They probably believe it is harmless to them. I am just glad Jesus Christ made it OK to dust one's sandals and move on when in situations like this so one can instead spend that time on something worthwhile though. 1 Like 1 Share |

OkCornel: [/b] ".... If someone has shown consistent mercy to you, is that person your enemy or your neighbor?...."[b] It's like you are taking the word enemy to be the direct opposite of neighbour. No, enemy is not the word opposite of neighbour. The word opposite of enemy is friend. The word neighbour inhabit friend and foe (enemy). Therefore, when He said THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR... friends and foes are captured. Possibly, hardness of their heart cause the exclusion of enemy.... Again, when He said THOU SHALT NOT AVENGE.... it's our enemies that we avenge. Who is an enemy? the person who hates you, the person who wishes you die the person who refuses to greet you or answer your greetings the person who blackmails you.... *. " KJV:But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless THEM THAT CURSE YOU, do good to THEM THAT HATE YOU, and pray for THEM WHICH DESPITEFULLY USE YOU, and PERSECUTE YOU;" According to Jesus, enemies = 1. THEM THAT CURSE YOU, 2. THEM THAT HATE YOU, 3. THEM WHICH DESPITEFULLY USE YOU, and 4. THEM THAT PERSECUTE YOU;" As we use to say "family is made up of father, mother and children" In the same, neighbour is made up of friends and foes. If reject it, no problem. |

KNOWMORE56: Wait, you mean you know more than Christ who defined what a neighbor is in the parable of the Good Samaritan? Alright, if neighbor also encompasses enemies, why then did Christ lay a demarcation between enemy and neighbor here? Think about it nau, if neighbor includes enemies, then it’s pointless for Christ to state the following below; "Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy."? Matthew 5:43 (KJV) And while at it, are you also telling us that the robbers that beat up the traveller and left him for dead, as well as the Levite and Priest are also neighbors to the robbed traveller per the parable of the Good Samaritan? |
