The bible takes true wisdom of the ancients, edits it to control people with fear, having the audacity the make it the word of God under the sword of Rome.
John 13:
13 "You call me 'Teacher' and 'Lord,' and rightly so, for that is what I am. 14 Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet. 15 I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.
REAL CONTROLLING FEAR HUH?
Romans 15: 1 We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. 2 Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.
Romans 13: 9 The commandments, "Do not commit adultery," "Do not murder," "Do not steal," "Do not covet," and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this one rule: "Love your neighbor as yourself." 10 Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
MORE OF THAT FEAR TEACHING HUH...
Matthew 22: 37 Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
O, THAT OLD FEAR THING.....hmmmmm.......
Sam, the message of Jesus the Christ the risen Son of God Almighty, is love and serving one another, not the fear you choose.
O, Sam I am?...................God Bless
