Sam, the quotes from the Bible were copied from a cd, not my words, an exact duplicate of the Bible not my spin. The comments under the verses came from a commentary. You ask for an answer, I was attempting to help. Apparently you didn't really want any help, only to be argumentative. Sorry I bothered you. Poor Sam, blind as a bat, I will pray for you to come to a personal knowledge of Jesus.
Sam, you should be very careful about the things you speak against Christ. "Then he said to the disciples, "Anyone who accepts your message is also accepting me. And anyone who rejects you is rejecting me. And anyone who rejects me is rejecting God who sent me."" (Luke 10:16 NLT)
"But all who reject me and my message will be judged at the day of judgment by the truth I have spoken." (John 12:48 NLT)
"I don't speak on my own authority. The Father who sent me gave me his own instructions as to what I should say." (John 12:49 NLT)
"And I know his instructions lead to eternal life; so I say whatever the Father tells me to say!"" (John 12:50 NLT)
I have fulfilled by responsibility to Christ by informing you of the truth, I would guess others have also given you the truth and you have
rejected it. I suspect that you fit into the following group of false teachers who reject the truth and turn to myths.
"For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to right teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever they want to hear." (2 Tim 4:3 NLT)
"They will reject the truth and follow strange myths." (2 Tim 4:4 NLT)
God has instructed me to stay away from people like you,
"You should also know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times." (2 Tim 3:1 NLT)
"For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred." (2 Tim 3:2 NLT)
"They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control; they will be cruel and have no interest in what is good." (2 Tim 3:3 NLT)
"They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God." (2 Tim 3:4 NLT)
"THEY WILL ACT as if they are religious, BUT THEY WILL REJECT THE POWER(Holy Spirit) that could make them godly. YOU MUST STAY AWAY FROM PEOPLE LIKE THAT" (2 Tim 3:5 NLT)
"But some rejected his message and publicly spoke against the Way, so Paul left the synagogue and took the believers with him. ........" (Acts 19:9 NLT)
The truth I write and speak comes from the Bible by the power of The Holy spirit.
The authority I have comes from Christ.
"With my authority, take this message of repentance to all the nations, beginning in Jerusalem: 'There is forgiveness of sins for all who turn to me.'" (Luke 24:47 NLT)
"Jesus came and told his disciples, "I have been given complete authority in heaven and on earth." (Mat 28:18 NLT)
"Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit." (Mat 28:19 NLT)
"Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age."" (Mat 28:20 NLT)
"Through Christ, God has given us the privilege and authority to tell Gentiles everywhere what God has done for them, so that they will believe and obey him, bringing glory to his name." (Rom 1:5 NLT)
"Then if those who hear the alarm refuse to take action--well, it is their own fault if they die." (Ezek 33:4 NLT)
"They heard the warning but wouldn't listen, so the responsibility is theirs. If they had listened to the warning, they could have saved their lives." (Ezek 33:5 NLT)
"But when the Jews opposed him and insulted him, Paul shook the dust from his robe and said, "Your blood be upon your own heads--I am innocent. From now on I will go to the Gentiles."" (Acts 18:6 NLT)
Bye Sam, have a nice day,
