Jews who believe in what Jesus accomplished while He was here on earth?
No.
Jews who believe that Jesus was the promised Messiah who came to establish His eternal Kingdom.
They would be called Christians by religion.
Only Jewish by nationality.
I'm not talking about Christians.
Religions.
Two.
Sects.
Adherents to one philosophy or another.
Two.
How many sects did Jesus found?
None.
Thanks for admitting that you ignore that portion of the Bible.
Don't try to turn this around on me. It's not going to work. I believe the ENTIRE Bible. You don't, because:
I asked: "Why do you ignore the rest of the Bible?"
You answered:
Because of what both Jesus and Jeremiah said...
And then you quoted a verse about a "false pen of the scribes."
I accept the verses. What I don't accept is your intentional ripping them out of context, and your subsequent interpretation of them.
No, it just means that y'all have not clearly explained your position.
So then instead of bearing false witness and saying "your position rejects most of the Bible," you should ask for someone to explain it to you, which we would be MORE THAN HAPPY to do.
Instead, you decided to be intellectually dishonest, and accuse us of rejecting the Bible, when in fact the entire point of MAD is to let the Bible speak for itself.
Which we've already established as the Justice of God, something you clear said does not exist.
Quit lying.
I'll concede the point if you agree to just call it "justice" from now on.
You apparently ignored this. ---^
Because he reacts to his own ideas about justice AS DOES EVERY other human.
Hmmm, I wonder why that is...
Could it be that it's because God wrote the law on the hearts of men?
The gang member's ideas about justice come from his God-given conscience. You know, God, the standard of righteousness and justice?
It doesn't mean it's right... after all a supposedly wise man said this:
Which is why it's important to compare what men think about right and wrong, to what God says about it. No?
According to whom?
God. Whom else?
Hence the "objective standard."
What a Muslim thinks to be the Justice of God, is not what a Christian thinks to be the Justice of God.
Which is why God gave us His word.
In it, He tells us what is right and wrong, and shows us what just punishments would be for certain crimes.
Exactly... Good luck finding that objectivity.
Whoosh!
Right over your head!
Thank you but it is not. The observation is based upon my understanding as yours is upon you.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
This is why Revelation from the Holy Spirit is necessitated to understand the Justice of God. Difficulties arise, though, when two people disagree and yet both claim to be guided by the Holy Spirit.
Hence why God gave us the Bible, and why he made it so thick, so that disagreements could be resolved, and doctrines understood.
Of course I have. But that doesn't mean it's not absurd.
Doesn't mean it is absurd either.
And it's use is quite common.
"No food or drink permitted in the library" is the exception to the rule that food and drink are permitted outside the library.
Designated smoking areas are places that are exceptions to the "no smoking rule."
"I work every day of the year, but I have Christmas off" says that the exception to the "rule" of "work every day" is Christmas.
To be more precise, the phrase is "the exception proves the existence of the rule."
We establish standards of rule to eliminate "exceptions."
And yet, exceptions still exist for some rules, such as above.
I point to the mars satellite that was lost because it was programmed to accept numbers "ruled" in centimeters, and the bright technicians sent the measurements in inches.
Different kind of exception.
Exceptions don't prove anything except that humans are stupid.
Humans are definitely stupid.
But stupid doesn't make you sin.
Sin makes you stupid.
