Kobojunkie:Let me make it easy for you, if you are your wife are one, you invite me to your house and show me love but your wife on the other hand treats me like crap, would we say you and your wife are one? If Christ and his Father are one but he does not love those his father loves and he commands us to love all men like his father, how is the possible. 1. The Father loves all men 2. The Father commands us to love all men even our enemies 3. Christ does not love all men This mean that we God expects more from us that from Christ. |

tctrills:Jesus Christ is a Law, a Law that only applies to those who are bound to Him .I.e. only those who believe in Him - John 3 vs 16. So your analogy there does not work at all.. |
Re: Is Jesus Christ The Messiah? by tctrills: 9:54pm On Jul 10, 2022 |
Kobojunkie:You are not getting me. God loves the world, we are expected to love all men but to you, Jesus is the exception. He is not allowed to love all men. If Jesus is the law like you say, the law commands us to love all men. Is he breaking his own law? The Father loves all men, Christians followers of Jesus Christ are to love all men but Christ does not love all men 1 Like |

tctrills:I completely understand what you are driving at, however the problem is you don't clearly understand who Jesus Christ is. Even though God's instructions to you through Jesus Christ is that you love your neighbors and enemies, God only gave Jesus Christ only to those who will believe in Him - John 3 vs 16. Jesus Christ is capable of loving those in His flock - John 15 vs 7 - 11. His friends are those who do as He asks - John 15 vs 14. |

Kobojunkie:You mean Jesus Christ who commanded us to love our enemies is not capable of loving his enemies. Hmm, interesting. So the master is not capable of keeping his own commandments. 3 Likes |

tctrills:Well, His enemies are those who refuse to obey His commandments and for them is prepared a place in eternal damnation aka Hell. He explained all of this in many of His parables to you. As for the master keeping His own commandments, well Jesus Christ lived in submission and obedience to God's Old Covenant Law and the National Constitution of the Nation of Israel, the Will of His Father, not to Himself. 1 Like |

Kobojunkie: So let me get you, Man and God are to love all men but Jesus Christ follows the Lesser law. Again, when Jesus was asked which is the greatest commandment in the Law, He replies Love God and Love your neighbor as yourself. Which law was he referring to? 1 Like |
Re: Is Jesus Christ The Messiah? by Kobojunkie: 12:35am On Jul 11, 2022 |
tctrills:1. Jesus Christ lived by God's Old Covenant Law does not mean He follows a lesser Law. It smoky means He lived according to the Old Covenant Law of Moses in obedience to God. This was in order to fulfil the mission God had Him finish here on earth. 2. The Law to which Jesus Christ said that in reference to is the Old Covenant Law of Moses to which both commandments stated belong to - Leviticus 19 vs 9 -20 and Exodus 20. |
Re: Is Jesus Christ The Messiah? by tctrills: 1:28am On Jul 11, 2022 |
Kobojunkie:God's Old Covenant Law is the lesser law. Our Father in heaven lives the higher law, he loves all men. Christ commanded us to be like his Father, hence we love all men but he refuses to be like the father. He refuses to love those that his father loves. Is that your point? 1 Like |
Re: Is Jesus Christ The Messiah? by Kobojunkie: 2:45am On Jul 11, 2022 |
tctrills:1. God no tell you that one. 2. God never weighed His Laws in that way. They are all of them perfect as they are, and all Eternal. 3. Just so you know the same command to be Hoky even as God is Holy is also included in the Old Covenant Law of Moses. As for Jesus Christ refusing to be like His Father, that's not true at all as Jesus Christ lived in submission and Obedience to God's Law as given by Moses. He was Holy even as God is Holy - Leviticus 21 vs 8 & Exodus 19 vs 8 . He loved according to the law set by His Father in that Law. By the way, did you know that God's Law stipulates the details of how you are to love/show love to Him and to others? For instance, in Matthew 5 vs 38 - 48, Jesus Christ details exactly how we are to show love to those who are our enemies. In John 14 vs 15 - 25, Jesus Christ details exactly what we are to do if we truly love Him. These things aren't left to us to do as we please or decide for ourselves. God spelt it all out in His detail in His Law to us. There are other instructions stating precisely what we are to do to show the love that God wants all throughout the Gospels too. The reason why Christianity looks nothing today like I did when Jesus Christ first set it up is simply because people have abandoned the Truth en masse to seek their own pleasures and ways to please God. God's commandments are no longer regarded as they ought and so the love of Jesus Christ is near nowhere to be seen. His light nowhere in sight. 1 Like |

There were no followers of Chrestus or Jesus Christ in the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 AD when Rome destroyed it, only Zealots were mentioned and they fled to the mountains as said in Matthew 26:14 but no followers of Chrestus or Jesus Christ fleeing to Rome The Ascension of Jesus Acts 2:41 50 When he had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, he lifted up his hands and blessed them. 51 While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven. 52 Then they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy. 53 And they stayed continually at the temple, praising God. |

MindHacker9009: Although the NT is not evidence that the guy existed, at least OKcornel can use it since he believes in his existence. However, I wonder why you are quoting NT events to support your position. It even goes beyond your usual cherry-picking of the Bible when you consider the OT as credible but the NT has a Roman creation. 2 Likes |

MindHacker9009: Something very basic you’ve ignored. The Jews had significant presence in the diaspora, long before 70 AD. The message on Jesus Christ was preached to Jews who traveled for the Passover after the ascension of Christ. That was how followers of Christus (who suffered the extreme penalty under Pontius Pilate) were present in Rome. Through evangelism and conversion. Not fleeing from war. Acts 2 v 5-11; 5 Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. 6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. 7 Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans? 8 Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language? 9 Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome 11 (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!” These Jews, including the ones who came over from Rome for the Passover later converted to Christianity. Acts 2 v 41; 41 Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day. And just to add, towards the end of his life when he was held under house arrest in Rome, Apostle Paul devoted his life entirely to preaching about Jesus Christ and the kingdom of God to Jews and Gentiles that visited him. The details are in Acts 28 v 11-31. In conclusion, the followers of Christus in Rome whom Nero blamed for the great fire of 64 AD, are followers of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

tctrills:First of all, God gave the Old Law of Moses, YHWH, as the National Constitution of the Nation of Israel which He constituted from the children of Israel. He never gave that Law to you, a Gentile, and that Law was made for a Kingdom that is of this physical world with a promise that is long life in the Kingdom of Canaan after resurrection - Deuteronomy 30 vs 15 - 20. . Jesus Christ confirmed that that Law is eternal- Heaven and Earth will pass away but not a jot of God's Word/Law will pass away - Matthew 5 vs 16 - 17 Second, God's New Covenant Law, Jesus Christ, was given as an agreement/Contract- constitution - between God and individuals (not groups, peoples or nations etc.,) - Matthew 26 vz 28 - 30 - who will believe in His Covenant for living in the Kingdom of God, a Kingdom not of this world, with a promise of eternity - John 3 vs 1 - 16 - in either Heaven or Hell - both of them domains in the Kingdom of God - at the end of it all - Matthew 25 vs 31 - 46. The Old Law was only meant to buy the Jews salvation of sorts from Death - ceasing in the grave - as it grants the righteous among them Life, which was denied all of mankind since God judged Adam - Adam did not eat of the tree of Life - Genesis 3 vs 20 - 22. The New Law however is meant for a different purpose which is to save all of mankind from all of God's curse on Adam, and restore to man all that was lost to him by Adam’s folly - God's Truth(Tree of knowledge of Good and Evi)l and God's Life(Tree of Life) , which is who Jesus Christ is - John 14 vs 6, this in order that man can once again stand in the presence of God like Adam before him.. ▪︎When Paul said something along the lines of "we are saved by grace", he infact said that of the Jewish Christians since they were saved/redeemed from the burden of God's Old Law by Jesus Christ's offer of Eternal life which also happens to be the promise that awaited them at the end of life live in righteousness according to the Old Covenant Law. Jesus Christ lived His life in submission and obedience of God's Old Law, dying in righteousness as a result in order to pay off the debt owed to God Old Law, YHWH, by those Jewish sinners who would believe in Him so they could port over to the New Covenant, Jesus Christ, in this lifetime. So essentially those of them who believed in Him were made dead to the Old Law of Moses, YHWH, but made alive instead in the New Covenant, Jesus Christ. ▪︎Also Redemption/Salvation in God's Old Law and New Law happens only when one's life under said Law ends, not during one's Lifetime spent under the Law. For this reason Jesus Christ made the statement that those whose stand faithful till the end will be saved - Matthew 24 vs 12 - 13 & Mark 13 vs 13. Lastly, we need the New Law, Jesus Christ, if salvation from God's curse on mankind, and restoration of that which was lost to us as individuals is a goal. |

@OkCornel The followers of your Chrestus from Judea could go as far away as to Rome in 64 AD to cause trouble and cause a fire that destroyed Rome a superpower at the time but when Rome went and took Jerusalem and destroyed the Temple which was the headquarters of the followers of Chrestus there was no mention of the followers of Chrestus but only the mention of about 1000 Zealots who fled to the mountains as said in Matthew 26:14 but no followers of Jesus Christ or Chrestus fled to the mountains or to Rome. This shows that Jesus Christ was made up after 70 AD and this is the reason there were no eyewitnesses of Him from 0 to 33 AD. The Ascension of Jesus Acts 2:41 50 When he had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, he lifted up his hands and blessed them. 51 While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven. 52 Then they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy. 53 And they stayed continually at the temple, praising God.
