Why is man lieing to man sending to them hell believing that Jesus was the only perfect, (blaimless before his Father doing his Father's will that is the perfection I mean not spilling coffie or failing a test) person in the bible? when the bible says that Job was perfect, Noah was perfect, Paul was presenting every man perfect in Christ Jesus.  And the bible says all liars shall have their part in the lake of fire and brimstone.  And we are told not to add or take away from the bible.  Why preach a lie and goto hell after?  When Jesus said in Matthew 5:48 be ye therefore perfect even as your Father in Heaven is perfect. (a command)

Take it on faith that he was. He was his fathers son.

Well technically YES, because fire and brimstone hell as has been preached in the past is false doctrine. The bible says that when people die, the are concious of nothing and feel nothing (pain, joy, sorrow. etc. ...) So 'hell' as referred to in the bible is simply the grave. So yes those people did go to 'hell', but they are not burning eternally!

Jesus was not following His plan He was following the Fathers plan... the end of the book of John says: that all of the miracles that Jesus performed would; if they were written down; the whole world could not contain them. \nLazarus was part of Gods plan... part of the ministry teachings that Jesus did on the earth, and God knew that it would still be relevant today. \n\n\nJohn the baptist was killed for preaching the word of God. Why would Jesus want to take away Johns Glorious place in heaven.

A great deal of information can be found in the gospels of Matthew (starting with the birth of Jesus, in Matt 1:18),  Luke (starting in Chapter 1, specifically the birth is at 1:26) and John (starting in Chapter 1).\n\nThe gist of it is that the world fell into sin when Adam & Eve took from the forbidden tree & ate the fruit.  After that throughout the OT there were strict rules for how to deal or be cleansed of that sin.  Which included sacrifice.  In the NT the birth of Jesus was to be the perfect sacrifical lamb so that Jesus would pay the final price for all of our sins, no more sacrifices would need to be made, our sins would be paid for in full.  His death was that sacrifice.  Then he rose, joined God in heaven until he returns one last and final time.\n\nI have never heard any such phrase as "Here I am, I'll go bring man back under your grace".  That just sounds like interpretation of scripture, as I couldn't find anything in scripture that was similar to it in wording.\n\nThe entire Bible supports this information.

The Scriptures indicate that the Devil was originally a perfect, righteous spirit creature. But he “did not stand fast in the truth.” (John 8:44) Only after he willingly took a course of opposition and resistance to God was he called Satan.\nIn centuries past most professed Christians have had very vivid ideas about who Satan is and what he looks like. He was an evil angel, they said, whom God had put in charge of the lake of fire to torment the wicked and he wore a red union suit and was equipped with horns, a tail and a pitchfork.\n\nWhat is the truth about the Devil? And what does the Bible reveal regarding Satan the Devil? For as Christians we follow the example of Christ Jesus, who always appealed to the Scriptures to settle any controversial point regarding teaching. \nBriefly scriptures tells us that he is an entity, an invisible spirit person; a wicked creature who, in the final analysis, is responsible for all the suffering and wickedness the human race has ever experienced; that he made himself a devil; that God has had good reasons for allowing him to live until now, and that in God’s due time the Devil will be destroyed.\n\nWhere did Satan come from? Surely God did not create him as Satan, for all His work is perfect. (Deut. 32:3, 4) Satan was at one time a perfect angel and served as a guardian of the first human pair in Eden. Concerning him we read: “Thou wast in Eden, the garden of God; . . . Thou wast the anointed cherub that covereth: and I set thee, so that thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; . . . Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till unrighteousness was found in thee. . . . Thy heart was lifted up because of thy beauty.”—Ezek. 28:13-18, AS.\n\nAnd what caused him to corrupt his wisdom? His ambition to be like the Most High, Jehovah God, which was betrayed thousands of years later in these words of his: “I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; and I will sit upon the mount of congregation, in the uttermost parts of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.” (Isa. 14:13, 14, AS) \nBy taking the foregoing scriptures with the well-known account of what took place in Eden, we have the picture of an angel appointed as guardian over the first human pair, who let his appointment go to his head and became ambitious to be like Jehovah God and began by estranging the first human pair from their Maker. He made himself into a deceiving, opposing, devouring Devil.—Gen. 3:1-19.\n\nThus, it is no myth that “Your adversary, the Devil, walks about like a roaring lion, seeking to devour someone.”—1 Pet. 5:8, NW.

I think the word "perfect" has different interpretations, depending on who, what, where you are.  In my opinion, there realy is no such thing.  I also do not believe that "God" is perfect.  He created man didn't he ... is man perfect?  Well, there you go, God didn't create something perfect, thus he cannot be perfect.\n\nAnd I think it's totally ludicrous when people carry on about going to church to confess ... why don't you just refrain from sinning?  Why is it acceptable for people to sin, over and over again and go to church every week and be forgiven each time?  I've never understood that one.

I believe God manifested in three persons the Father Son and Holy Spirit yet He is one God. I belive in the Bible which is the Word of God His revelation of Himself to us. God is the standard for all truth and the Bible reveals His truth. I believe Jesus is the only way to heaven because He died on the cross to save me and everyone else who accepts Him from their sin. Why is a good question. The Bible is the only Religious document that has ever been proven by archealogical findings and secular historical accounts to be 100% accurate. No part of the Bible has ever been disproved by Science, History or Archealogy. So since the Bible is proven to be true we can believe what it says. Next look at creation. That the world was created and intelligently designed is a lot easier to believe than that a ball of gas exploded and bam everything was here it just took a really long time. Even if thats true who put the ball of gas there to begin with? So it's foolish to believe in evolution (besides there are no scientific facts to support the evolutionary theory) So creation is a testimony to the Creator of whom the Bible speaks. Then look at the other world religions. Every other religion in the world has one thing in common. Each one makes it so man has to, through his own best works, reach up to God. Christianity is the only one that teaches about a loving God who reached down to His creation. Christianity is the only one that deals with the issue of sin. (Jesus paying the penalty for our sin on the cross). Why do I believe in Jesus? Because He is the way the truth and the life and no comes to the Father but by Him. He is the only way and the only way that makes sense.

God doesn't want to send anyone to Hell He made Hell for satan and his followers. God doesn't "send" you to Hell. You go there because of your sin. And with sin you can't be near God. So you spend eternal separation from Him. God loves you and he wants you to go to heaven but he loved you so much that he gave you the will to choose if you wanted to worship and love him. So before Jesus died for our sins it was very hard to get into heaven. So God died for His world that He created and made a way into heaven. And that is Jesus. The Way, the Truth, and the Light.

It's pretty obvious what God means when He says that it is a detestable thing for a man to lie with another man as a man lies with a woman.\n\nIt is made even more so obvious when you look at 1 Corinthians 6:9.\n\n"Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders..."\n\nMade even more obvious in Romans 1:26-27 - "Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion."\n\nTranslators often use the oldest and most reliable Hebrew manuscripts to write their Bibles. The only differences among the versions are in that of wording, but the collective meaning is not lost (slightly altered, maybe). For instance, in Genesis, the word "yom" is used for "day" in the 24 hours sense, so we can apply that to Genesis 1, which uses "yom" and thus the days of creation took six literal days.\n\nAre you indeed even AWARE what those verses are talking about, or are you just blindly holding to the homosexual's argument that those verses don't really refer to such things, because you sure don't give any substantiation to back up your claims. Your case does not have a point to begin with, because you are just spouting hot water.\n\nAs Paul said in Romans 7:7-8, "What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed I would not have known what sin was except through the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, "Do not covet." But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of covetous desire. For apart from law, sin is dead."\n\nThe law (Exodus, Lev., and Deut.) reveals sin for what it is.\n\nMay you find peace from Christ.

Let's get one thing straight. The verses you quoted were statements made by Jesus; not Almighty God. The trinity doctrine that is widely taught in Christendom is really throwing you off. When Jesus is making these statements he's humbly acknowledging that in fact the "father" is greater than him. This is further reiterated in John 14:28. Why would almighty God who knows all things would not know for instance the day of Judgment?_Psalms 83:18 Notice that the scripture that you quoted (Mark 13:2) says in the 2nd part of the verse:"neither the angels in heaven nor the Son, but the "Father." Again this stresses that Jesus or the Son of God doesn't know the day, but his FATHER would know. Clearly this shows that Jehovah God and Jesus are two different people and that this shows a distinction between them. If Jesus and God were the same wouldn't Jesus know the day of Judgement too?\nThe many other statements that Jesus makes further show that he is not equal to his father._Philippians 2:6: "who, although he was existing in God's form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God."_1 Corinthians 11:3, John 20:17. Similiarly, no son is equal to his father or the same as him. Sure they may look alike, talk, or act alike but you recognize them as two separate entities not combined in one. In John 5:19 Jesus makes it clear that he doesn't do a single thing of his own initiative, but only what he beholds the Father doing. Also whatever that One does he also does in like manner.\nAfter reasoning from the scriptures you can conclude that from your statements above, Jesus was not only recognizing his father as greater than he was but was giving his father praise and honor by giving him the credit. You can also conlcude that if you read the Bible nodenominationally you would not come to the conclusion that God is part of a trinity which is contradicted in the scriptures. Instead Christ is "one" with God (not literally) in that they are always in harmony with each other just like a husband and wife were to be one as in united together._Genesis 2:24. The trinity really blurs the relationship between God and Jesus and is a source of confusion for many.

Amen! If you think the Bible is false, you would be calling Him a liar. If you think it's written just by men, you are calling God a liar. How could you believe in a God that would lie? You wouldn't. So no, you cannot believe God and not the Bible. Without the Bible how would you know God? God Bless!

"major sin?"  What gives you that idea?\nYes, in the bible it says for a man to lie with another man is abominable.  However, in the same book of the bible (leviticus), it says women must hide from the world during their periods, and not be touched by anyone or they are all declared "unclean" and are to be punished.\nIt also says there that you should stone adulterers and fornicators, that you must offer various sacrifices of meat and blood several times a week...why do christians choose to follow the prohibition against homosexuality (and foist that view on everyone else), and not the other prohibitions and laws in the same book?  Selective enforcement at its worst.\n\nIn the new testament, jesus said that his new law replaced the old law (Mosaic law from the old testament).  His new commandment was to love one another, to do good to those who use you, to turn the other cheek, to not judge anyone.  \n\nHow sad it is that the vast majority of christians choose to ignore the person they claim to follow, and instead choose to selectively pick parts of the "old law" to use as their rallying cry against "immorality."  Jesus would be ashamed of those who do so.

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.

This is a question that I've always asked.  I see it as being closed-minded to believe that the Bible is 100% true.  It was written my man, not God.  It is human nature to exaggerate stories, and that's what the Bible is; stories.  I believe that there is truth in the Bible, but I think it's nuts to assume all of it is true.

Well, to restate it slightly for purposes of clarification, in the Hebrew Scriptures, an unblemished lamb was sacrificed in accord with what God says at Leviticus 17:11:  it is the blood that makes atonement (not God's wrath – but atonement).  That is why Paul said what he did as you quoted.  So all those animal sacrifices - which were not sufficient to bring lasting atonement (inasmuch as animals are inferior to man) – pointed to the one sacrifice that would balance the scales of justice.  Yes he rose again from the dead but this does not mean he was not sacrificed.  In order to understand the ransom, you must understand what was owed.  Adam was a perfect human person – no more and no less. Adam was not an animal, Adam was not half God and half man, Adam was not half angel and half man.  To understand the payment, one must understand the debt. To balance the scales, a perfect human person had to be sacrificed.  That is what Jesus was on earth:  a perfect human person.  That is why the scriptures call him the last Adam.  He existed in the heavens as a spirit creature before being born as a human.  He sacrificed his perfect human life.  This is the key:  he did not sacrifice his right to ever live again.  He sacrificed his perfect human life.  Therefore, he was resurrected as a spirit creature and returned to heavenly life.  Now, IF he returned as a human again, THAT would invalidate his sacrifice.  But as it is, he did not sacrifice his right to live – he sacrificed his life as a perfect human man.

It's about as true as you too can have partiality from an impartial God, which is a lie since "there is no respect of persons with God", also an oxyMORON with a BAD ending, kinda like Gen 2: 16 -vs- 17 is an oxyMORON with a BAD ending.\n\nTry re-reading the biblical story of Noah, and notice clever Noah did both: "all God commanded" and "all the LORD commanded", and that God and LORD are as "contrary" as 2 and 7; Not to mention "God" never saw both clean and unclean (good and evil), only good. Not to mention "God" is "merciful", not destructive; And merciful to all, not to some only.\n\nTry and get your head around the biblically stated fact such law/grace "things" are an "allegory" in both "covenants": Gal 4, and also a "mystery" to solve in time; so not to be taken literal. \n\nScriptures were written aforetime for our learning: Romans 15:4. But it's NOT plural & contrary "scriptures" that are "inspiried of God"; rather only the singular "script-u-are" of such plural and contrary scriptures that's God inspired: 1Tim 3:16.\n\nAnd consider where doing both all grace and all law got Noah, it got him inducted into the hall of shame of Heb 11, where it flat out notes "these all died" and "received not the promise". For receiving the promise notably comes "after" doing the will of God, which is "I will have mercy, and not sacrifice(slaughter)"; which is given as a go figure (go and learn what it allegorically meaneth) in Mt 9:13; which is to allegory say grace and not law, which is to say truth and not lie.  And the "not" part of what God will and will not have, is notably not then, not now, not ever. For the will of God is the same in both OT & NT: Ps 40:6; Ps 51:16; Hos 6:6; Mt 9:13; Mt 12:7; Heb 10:all. And the end that God declared from the beginning is already written as the end we're to endure unto to be saved(only) by grace(only); since those who mixed rather than comparing spiritual things (law/grace), notably got both saved and destroyed after by their grace and law: Jude 5.\n\nThe "grace" of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

If there really were a perfect and supreme being, would it really make sense that he would give a rat's ass about being worshiped?  Ancient men thought of god according to the only precedent they knew for authority figures; petty narcissistic tyrants.  That's why the god of the Old Testament is a petty narcissistic tyrant.\n\nWhy would a perfect and supreme being care about "sin" either?  It makes no sense for a perfect being to "care" about anything at all.  To care implies you are not already self sufficient and something external to you is required for fulfillment.
