Matthew 5:21-22\n"You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.'But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, 'Raca,' is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell. \n\nMatthew 23:17\nYou blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes the gold sacred?

The bible(new testament) was written 30-60 years after Jesus died.  The authors never met Jesus, did not know him, and wrote down stories they had HEARD about him.\nJust like the game "telephone", stories become greatly exaggerated.

Both will go to hell, and yes you will along with everybody else, including Christians. All go to hell at death.The original Hebrew word was Sheol and the Greek word was Hades, properly translated they mean: the grave or a pit.Another word also translated as hell was Gehenna(Greek),this is an actual place now known as the Hinnom Valley in Jerusalem. This is a place that always had a fire and they burnt trash, animal carcasses, and live babies were sacrificed to molech the great owl god. Look at a map its on there. In Psalm 16:10, & 49:15 David knew he was going to hell (grave) and would be resurected from it.Many of the older Bibles such as Geneva properly translated these words as grave or pit. It is impossible to have three totally different words and translate them all as hell. In the 1600's when the KJV Bible was made ,the meaning of the word hell was to put in the ground so when they changed the wording to hell they understood what it meant.If you look up Gehenna in Websters dictionary today you will see it tells you the same thing I said. Apparently its to difficult for most Christians to actually look up the meaning of a word, they prefer to listen to the lies that their preacher spews from the pulpit. My God will put you in hell when you die,the grave, and regardless of your beliefs or how you lived you will be resurected for judgement. To receive eternal life you must know Christ as saviour, if not you will be thrown into the lake of fire Rev. 20:14,this is the second death, where people are consumed instantly and permanently. No eternal suffering and torment.I am a Christian and I think its a shame that churches use these kind of scare tactics to keep people in church.

1st Samuel 15:2  "Thus says the LORD of Host, "I will punish Amalek for what He did to Israel, how He set himself against him on the way while he was coming up from Egypt. Samuel 15:3...\n\nSaul didn't obey God on this one.. The LORD said to Samuel, "I regret that I have made Saul king, for he has turned back from following Me, and has not carried out My commands." \n\nBehold to obey is better than sacrifice. Rebellion is as the sin of divination.  This is when the LORD rejected Him as king over Israel.  Read the whole chapter.\n\nTo me, I don't understand God about the animals, but God knew it was necessary.  I have a hunch It had to do with bestiality & the whole area had been corrupt with the idolatry.  Also, innocent animals, people die all the time because of the sins of others.  Man's sin can lead to natural disasters.   Environmental sins cause polution.

Whoops, I mean true!\n\nJesus came down on the Religious leaders with Righteous Indignation. He told them that they were "Whitewashed Tombs", and that they were going to Hell!\n\nMatthew 23:26-28\n\n26 Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean.\n\n27 "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men's bones and everything unclean.\n\n28 In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.\n..........................................................\n\nAlso, He healed on the Sabbath, against the Religious Law.\n\nJohn 5:15-17 \n\nThe man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.\n\nSo, because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jews persecuted him.\n\nJesus said to them, "My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working."

Ok get this... The Law was that people had to sacrifice animals for their sins. There is a passage...not sure where off the top of my head, but I will find it... that talks about how Christ's sacrifice can do what no goat can. He was a BETTER sacrifice than animals. So no he did not abolish the law but rather fulfilled it in that he was sacrificed so technically, Christians DO follow the law. \nAnd quit using bits and pieces of scripture! Take it in context! \n\n6) Jesus has a punishment even worse than his father concerning adultery: God said the act of adultery was punishable by death. Jesus says looking with lust is the same thing and you should gouge your eye out, better a part, than the whole. The punishment under Jesus is an eternity in Hell. (Matthew 5:27)\nHe was saying  it would be BETTER to gouge your eye out than to continue in the sin. And if you really wanted to get to the truth, you would know that fire and brimstone hell was a false doctrine designed to keep people in the catholic church. Hell is nothing more than the grave itself and so the punishment under Jesus is the same as that under God.\n\n8) “Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law" (John7:19) \nRead the whole thing... he was telling them that they were (for lack of a better word) being STUPID. Read the whole story.\n\nand “For the law was given by Moses,..." (John 1:17).\nFinish it! it says "and grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

There's a passage of Scripture that speaks of how "A LITTLE wine is good for the infirmities of the stomach", and the Bible speaks openly of it's SYMBOLISM involving purity. Therefore, I would say, don't drink it in excess, for being drunk displeases God and damages the Temple (us) in which He wants to dwell.

II Corinthians 11:19 -- "For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise." \n\nThere are a number of quotes out there about not suffering fools gladly.

"Then I heard the LORD say to the other men, "Follow him through the city and kill everyone whose forehead is not marked.  Show no mercy; have no pity!  Kill them all – old and young, girls and women and little children.  But do not touch anyone with the mark.  Begin your task right here at the Temple."  So they began by killing the seventy leaders.  "Defile the Temple!" the LORD commanded.  "Fill its courtyards with the bodies of those you kill!  Go!"  So they went throughout the city and did as they were told."  (Ezekiel 9:5-7 NLT)\n\n\n If even then you remain hostile toward me and refuse to obey, I will inflict you with seven more disasters for your sins.  I will release wild animals that will kill your children and destroy your cattle, so your numbers will dwindle and your roads will be deserted.  (Leviticus 26:21-22 NLT)\n\n\n(Moses) stood at the entrance to the camp and shouted, "All of you who are on the LORD's side, come over here and join me." And all the Levites came.  He told them, "This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: Strap on your swords! Go back and forth from one end of the camp to the other, killing even your brothers, friends, and neighbors."  The Levites obeyed Moses, and about three thousand people died that day.  Then Moses told the Levites, "Today you have been ordained for the service of the LORD, for you obeyed him even though it meant killing your own sons and brothers. Because of this, he will now give you a great blessing."  (Exodus 32:26-29 NLT)\n\n\n "Go up, my warriors, against the land of Merathaim and against the people of Pekod. Yes, march against Babylon, the land of rebels, a land that I will judge!  Pursue, kill, and completely destroy them, as I have commanded you," says the LORD.  "Let the battle cry be heard in the land, a shout of great destruction".   (Jeremiah 50:21-22 NLT)\n\n\n As you approach a town to attack it, first offer its people terms for peace.  If they accept your terms and open the gates to you, then all the people inside will serve you in forced labor.  But if they refuse to make peace and prepare to fight, you must attack the town.  When the LORD your God hands it over to you, kill every man in the town.  But you may keep for yourselves all the women, children, livestock, and other plunder.  You may enjoy the spoils of your enemies that the LORD your God has given you.(Deuteronomy 20:10-14)\n\nand maaannnyyy more if u interesting, but i think i already made a very good point...

first of all, judaism rejects that the serpent was anything more than a serpent, so thats out. G-d of course said "or you shall die" - thats a generic biblical term for, "I'll be really mad if you do this" and is meant more as a scare tactic than to be taken literally. obviously adam and eve knew this and didn't take it literally either or they would not have eaten the apple with as little hesitation as they did.\n\nthe serpent did tell the partial truth - that they would be able to discern between good and evil. he appealed to their arrogant side by saying they would be like G-d if they ate it, which of course is not true since nobody could be like G-d and the tree didn't grant the power for that either. it wasn't the tree of G-dliness, it was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Satan tries to deceive everyone, but will fail at this goal:\n"And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly."\nRomans 16.20\n\n"I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.  Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer.  Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days.  Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.\nHe who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.  He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death."\nRevelation 2.9-11\n\nTo reply to your last comment:\n"So it was for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people.  And the disciples were called Christians in Antioch."\nActs 11.26\n\n"Then Agrippa said to Paul, 'You almost persuade me to become a Christian.'\nAnd Paul said, 'I would to God that not only you, but also all who hear me today, might become both almost and altogether such as I am, except for these chains.'"\nActs 26.28-29\n\n"But let none of you suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as a busybody on other people's matters.  Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this matter."\n1 Peter 4.15-16\n\nPerhaps not to "follow" Christianity, but the apostles definitely wanted their followers in Christ, Jesus, to practice Christianity!

I was kind of wondering the same thing but then I found this: Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolators nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor theives nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.\n1 Corinthians 6:9-11 NIV (New Testament)

This was the case when the religious leaders asked Jesus to condemn an adulterous woman, and Jesus replied:\n\nLet he who is without sin cast the first stone.\n\nIn the text it said the leaders all left, beginning with the older ones. After they departed, said that he did not condemn her either, but simply said, "Go and sin no more".\n\nThis was a popular theme among Jesus' teachings: people must forgive others, because all are in need of forgiveness.  And it appears in the Lord's prayer: Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those, who sin against us.

Leviticus 20:13 - If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.\n\nLeviticus 18:22 - You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.\n\nDeuteronomy 23:17 - There shall be no prostitute of the daughters of Israel, neither shall there be a sodomite of the sons of Israel.\n\n1 Kings 14:24; 15:11f - . . . and there were also sodomites in the land: they did according to all the abominations of the nations which Jehovah drove out before the children of Israel. (Later when Asa put away the sodomites by the death penalty commanded in the law, God approved of the cleansing of such immorality.) And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, as did David his father. And he put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.\n\nRomans 1:26-27,32 - For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due . . . who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.\n\n1 Corinthians 6:9-10 - Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.

Jesus did not come to destroy the law but to fulfill he said so His self in  Mt 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. \nMt 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. \nMt 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. \nThen gave an example that you sin with your mind as wellMt 5:21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: \nMt 5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. \nMy dear friend the 4th commandment is the TEST commandment to see if people will obey God.Ex 31:17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
