What Jesus are you following?
2. Did Jesus come with love and peace?
3. Where indeed is heaven?



1. What Jesus are you following? I ask this because I just finished reading something about Jesus coming and teaching all this love and togetherness for all mankind, and I'm sort of curious as to where people got this stuff from? Could it have been the Bible? Let's see.

Did Jesus come with a new doctrine of love that did away with the old law of Moses? According to the Bible, No. Jesus says in Matthew 5: 17-18

"Do not think I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For Assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass away from the law till all is fulfilled.

As many of us may know, the ONLY LAW HE COULD HAVE BEEN SPEAKING OF WAS THE LAWS OF MOSES, FOR MOSES WAS THE ONLY ONE TO BRING THE LAWS!!!

As we all know, Jesus came to bring love and unity, right? Then why does he say something different in Matthew 10:34-36?

"Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. For I have come to 'set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a man's enemies shall be those of his own household.

Also, when they was coming to get him to hang his behind up, what did he tell his peace loving disciples to do?

Luke 22:36 But now, he who has a money bag, let him take it, and likewise a sack; and he who has no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one.

"AIN'T NO METAPHOR HERE !!! HERE WAS A MAN ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THE ENEMY WAS COMING TO GET THEM...AND HE OUT RIGHT TOLD THEM TO TAKE THEIR MONEY AND GARMENTS AND SELL THEM TO BUY SOME WEAPONS !!

2. Where is heaven or the Kingdom of God we all want to go to? Is it in the sky? Is it in the great beyond after we die?

According to Jesus in Luke 17.20-21 the kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, See here!' or See there!' For indeed, THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN YOU."

You sound like "truth minista" Paul Scott mixed with Obadiyah Ysrayl of Israelite Heritage. lol

Keita,

That is the one Keita, I call him by his Hebrew name, Yashua/Jesus, as well. You have spoken truth, you have spoken the Bible, but you have also stretch the context a bit, but that really is not a problem.

For example, not to mention verse 38, which gives a strong indication that two swords was enough, isn't mentioned, but I aint mad at cha, for real. And I don't need Bible study either, just had to let you know I'm reading.
