When you try to answer your own question, it ceases to be a question.  It becomes you trying to preach your singular viewpoint to the community.\nThis is not what this site is all about.  It is people asking questions, and getting answers.

My answer to your question, and to those repeating the liar, crazy, or God theorem is that you're missing an important point: what if he (peace be upon him) never claimed that. What do I make of the claims: they were never made, and that's what's the noble Quran tells me.\n\n"And behold! God will say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Didst thou say unto men, worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of God'?" He will say: "Glory to Thee! never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowest what is in my heart, Thou I know not what is in Thine. For Thou knowest in full all that is hidden.\nI spake unto them only that which Thou commandedst me, (saying): Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. I was a witness of them while I dwelt among them, and when Thou tookest me Thou wast the Watcher over them. Thou art Witness over all things.\nIf Thou punish them, lo! they are Thy slaves, and if Thou forgive them (lo! they are Thy slaves). Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Mighty, the Wise." [Translation of verses 116-118 of the 5th chapter of the Noble Quran]

The seal of God indeed the 4th commandment...\n\nDuet 5:12   Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee.  \n  5:13   Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work:  \n  5:14   But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine a$s, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou.\n\n The mark of the beast is a counterfeit to God's seal, hence the false Sabbath that the man of sin, the little horn of Daniel changed from Saturday to Sunday...\n\nDaniel 7:25   And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. \n\nSo the difference is what day we recognize as the True Sabbath. Saturday (God's day) or Sunday (Satan's Day of the sun).

The verse you are referring too is taken out of context. In Pauls vision, When God told Paul do not call anything "unclean" that he made, the Lord is not refering to food but to the  gentiles. To make a long story short, Paul was a Jew, Gentiles and Jews did not normally mix and mingle back then. The Lord was basically telling Paul that is was okay hang around with the Gentiles(non-Jew's). \nA person can not be saved through works alone just as a person cannot be saved through faith alone.....it is a combination of the both.\nIf you truely love God with all your heart you are going to want to keep his words, its as simple as that...\nWe are only human, we are bound to make mistakes.....thats okay, as long as your trying. It is through the blood of the lamb (Jesus) that our sins are forgiven....\nHow can we pick and choose which commandments we want to keep and which one's are to inconvient for us\nTell me if any of these scenerio's sound familiar to you:\nlets see.....don't kill.....that one's easy, I'll keep that commandment\nhmmm.....don't eat pork.....nah, I can't give up my granny's fried ham, not even for God\nhomosexuals.....I don't like gay people, I can listen to the Lord on that law\nhonor the sabbath day and keep it holy.....the Lord has no choice but to forgive me on that one I'm not giving up my Saturdays for anyone!\nwell I think you get the point....Why do we pick and choose which commandments we are going to keep and which one's we are going to throw out? The Lord doesn't change, he said so himself, to say he threw out all of his laws is the same as calling him a liar. \nMaybe God didn't lie, Maybe he just changed his mind.....if he changed his mind about not changing than what else is he going to change his mind about.....\nokay, I think I rambled on enough now....

I believe it is very similiar to what is written the the bible.  I also believe that we are to only worship Allah, which is GOD! That is the point in this verse, this is what God states in his ten commandments given to the prophet Moses.  "Thou shall not worship any other Gods besides me" \nExodus 20:3 NIV\n\nI think people need to read the above verse again because I think they are missing the point.

I think I get what you're asking.  In the Old Testament, under the law of Moses, the Jewish people would have to make sacrifices (such as animals or grain, depending on the ceremony) to "make up" for their sins.  God Himself commanded that system of sacrifice only as a temporary, imperfect system.  An important verse to consider is Psalm 40:6, where it says "Sacrifice and offering You did not desire."  That verse and the context surrounding it shows us that what God really wanted was not a tally of how many rams or bulls got slaughtered, but the right heart of the people.\n\nThe OT system of sacrifice was not just abolished but fulfilled by Christ's death and resurrection.  The old way taught that people needed a sacrifice to have their sins forgiven by God.  Through His death, Christ provided the one and only sacrifice that will ever be needed again.\n\nWe could never sacrifice enough ourselves to get right with God, whether that be through any kind of "good works" or "penance" as some teach.  The Bible actually says we CANNOT rely on our own works, how much we can sacrifice, but instead we are to rely on God's mercy and grace.  Any teaching that isn't centered God's grace and Christ's victory is indeed "ready to vanish" and should be thrown out as unbiblical.

"Exodus 33: 'evil tidings' from LORD? Moses talked face to face with LORD, but only saw 'back' parts of LORD?"\n\nAre you trying to reconcile Exodus 33 with the Kabbalistic concept of Qlippoth?\n\nWhile its quite normal in most mythological systems for deities to tell humans that they won't survive gazing upon the deity's awesome visage, Qlippoth does make an interesting question here.  Perhaps the suggestion would be that while we try to look YHVH in the face, we are unable to really conceive of it and can only glimpse the "back", the Qlippoth, ie the stuff we don't like so much.  Interesting how akin it is to the way children think of their parents when they're young. Maybe someday humans will mature and be able to see YHVH in a more wholistic fashion.\n\n"Could there be two LORDS to consider, sort out, if there's also mention of the LORD of 'LORDS'?"\n\nIn the translation I'm looking at right now, I don't see the phrase "Lord of Lords" used in Ex 33.  However, when it does come up its referring to one or both of two things: The supremacy of YHVH in the pre-Abrahamic Judaic pantheon (before Abraham made his covenant with YHVH, the Jews were polytheistic and YHVH was one deity among many), and/or the supremacy of YHVH as a heavenly Lord to earthly Lords.\n\n"Which 'things' are an 'allegory' and 'mystery'."\n\nThere's no allegory in this chapter.  And, for me at least, the Bible in its entirety can be understood as a Mystery if one chooses to see it that way.\n\n"Why did story of Noah's Ark mention God and LORD, who notably gave Noah contradicting commandments?"\n\nThe commands aren't really contradictory: They don't "undo" each other.  So its not like there are two entities here giving opposite commands to Noah and using him as a pawn in some secret hidden war.  God doesn't say "save the animals" only to have Lord come back and say "don't save the animals."  There's just a confusion over number, which I consider being a result of bad editing - something that's bound to happen when a text is scribed, re-scribed, redacted, translated, etc. ad nauseum over the course of roughly 6000 years.

Is this what you're getting at?\n\nRomans 5:1-21\n\nTherefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; 4and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.\nFor when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.\nTherefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned—(For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come. But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many. And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many offenses resulted in justification. For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)\nTherefore, as through one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life. For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.\nMoreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

So many bad answers from Christians on this it's fairly amusing.\n\n1. "Things/the rules have changed"\n\nResting on the sabbath is a moral precept of one's obligation to Yahweh.  If you are saying this changed, you are saying that God changes his morals, which opens up the idea of moral subjectivitiy.  There is no way around when God said "forever".  Either you are calling him a liar, or you are wrong.\n\n2.  "The law was destroyed"\n\nThen why did Jesus say he did not come to destroy the law?  Remember thar part in Matthew about "not one jot or tittle of the law"?  You are calling Jesus a liar here....not sure what your God would think of that.\n\n3.  Paul said hold no day above any other.\n\nSwell for Paul.  Unfortuantely, Jesus and Yahweh BOTH said different.  Tie goes to the deity, I would think.\n\n4.  "Christians are under grace, not the law"\n\nThen you can ignore the 10 commandments, I assume.  No?  Only the fourth one?  I see.  What part of "forever" and what Jesus said in Matthew don't Christians understand?\n\n******\n\nThose are just a few responses.  Christians love to pull the "Paul Card".  Go ahead and grab anything Paul may have said (ignoring that he often spoke on behalf of himself, not God) and use that to totally dismiss something either Yahweh or Jesus said.\n\nThe bible IS inconsistent.  But if I were to believe in it, I sure has heck would take God's "forever" dictate pretty serious, not Paul's bitter ramblings.

Hi Rodney. Good evening/day.Very good subject! First of all, in case anyone does not know what sin is, let's define it.  Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. or MKJV- Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness, for sin is lawlessness-1John 3:4. Myself included, we need to ensure that we know what sin is so that we can be sincerely repentant and strive to not commit sins. You are correct everyone sins, that is why Jesus - the perfect Son of God who was sinless died for our sins and rose from the dead. Second, the word rapture is not in the Bible. Jesus will return to raise the dead and claim those of us who are saved. John 3:13 says  -And no one has ascended up to Heaven except He who came down from Heaven, the Son of Man who is in Heaven. May God Bless  you.

Just like all Scripture, this one too, is often misquoted by people who do not understand the context or the meaning. So, while it's sad, we need to pray for them to have their eyes opened and try to gently instruct them (1Corinthians 12:31) "in a more excellent way". \n\nUnless you undersstand the culture of the time, it would be easy to misunderstand the verse. When God gave this law to Israel through Moses, it was set as a "Maximum" penalty. In other words "you shall take no MORE than an eye for an eye".\nExodus 21 goes on to say that if you strike a servant of yours and they lose an eye or a tooth, you should set them free on account of the eye or the tooth.\nLeviticus 24:22 (repeating the same command) the also says that it applies without respect to persons (whether a native or a stranger).\nWhen Jesus Quoted this passage he went on to explain that to fulfill this law means not taking any vengeance.\nMatthew 5:39-49

My understanding is that the law was over, caput, done with when Jesus died on the cross. Jesus said, I came not to abolish the law but to fulfill it. Read the book of Romans, written by Paul, he explains very well. If you are new to scripture, you might want to try the "Word" translation. We human beings are so innately depraved and clueless - (a legacy from Adam - check your scripture crosswalk.com = it has a search engine)- that there was/is *nothing* we could ever *do* that would save us. It required that Jesus become flesh and that *He* take on all of our sins... that's how we're saved. By grace. There is no way to *earn* your way. It is a gift from God - GRACE - and it can't be earned. It;s given when you accept that Jesus is the son of God and that His purpose was to do for us what we could never do for ourselves. The operative word here: "do."\n One more thing: God *always* loves us. The question for us is: "Do we *trust* HIm? Obey? If you're believing, you're "obeying." He left only 2 commandments: Love me as I love you and love your neighbors. That second one is tough... oftentimes impossible. I've got neighbors - or people I just come across that I'd like to take a baseball bat to... then I remember that the commandment wasn't "Love your neighbors - except those who make you want to hit them with a baseball bat." This Christian walk is not easy and it doesn't require you to DO anything to receive God's love. Romans and the letters to the seven churches in teh NT all speak to Christ's intentions: Look at how he behaved: he loved and he acted in love. And that ain't easy to do all the time. I try and get it maybe 30-40% of hte time. And still, He's got me covered. \n Scripture will tell you all you need to know. Prepare and ask to know what God's will is for you... he's not a Fairy Godmother - damn it all - but as you are ready you will be shown. Bless you.

The "sacrifice" issue is not just about animals,\n(which God never perceived as clean and unclean);\nFor God saw only good x 6, very good the 7th time.\n\nNor did God ever desire any sacrifice, for sin,\nis "of the law", which His Grace will not have,\nand the not part is not then, not now, not ever.\nPs 40:6; 51:16; Hos 6:6; Mt 9:13; Mt 12:7; Heb 10\n\nMt 9:13 Go ye and learn what meaneth:\n"I will have mercy, and not sacrifice".\nhttp://www.godshew.org/ShewBread5.htm#willx2\nWhich (law/grace)things(sons) are an "allegory".\nhttp://www.godshew.org/Allegory.htm\n\nIt OBVIOUSLY meaneth God will have grace, and not law;\nFor biblical & historical "evidence" makes it "EVIDENT"\nthat no man is justified by the law in the sight of God.\n\nAll who think other wise, the sacrifice wise, of the law,\ncan also bend over and dble kiss their cheri bums bye bye.\nAnd such is not to be merciless, but rather to be merciful.\nFor it won't change the end that's notably already written,\nbut it will make what's evident ever more evident unto all.\n\nThe "grace" of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all.
