I like that. Now, I'll try to remember it.

Normally, my experience has shown that people pick their commentator rather than their bible. Some seem to worship their popular theologian who gives them their truth. For some, it is their priest or pastor. Instead of performing a serious study of the bible and asking God to give clarity, we...

Jn 5:7–47 Jesus said to him, “Get up, take up your bed, and walk.” And at once the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked. Now that day was the Sabbath. So the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “It is the Sabbath, and it is not lawful for you to take up your bed.” But he...

I don't know who you were speaking to, but I'd like to see an explanation of your post.

When did the New Covenant take effect?

I think I get the gist of these many pages: The bible is a bludgeon that is wielded by those who want to claim to hold the truth because of the things they have discovered in their selected version of it. I can usually spot those people by the way they don't love others here. I guess that...

Oh, there was a time when I revered my King James Bible, as I thought I was getting perfect truth from it. After finding that I understood other translations better since the word were more modern, I changed bibles. Long story short, I learned to use multiple translations and saw differences...

Yet, here we, as a group, are with many people accusing brothers and sisters of error - making ourselves the arbiter of true understanding. I find it interesting that many posts are simply promotion of opinions rather than scriptures. I think I have witnessed the lack of AGAPE between us many times.

Uh, brother; there are churches, mainstream with large congregations that absolutely DO demand blind obedience.

Imagine a time when one guy walks around saying things that upset the crowds - especially those in positions of authority? Then, this guy attracts several followers and they band together. It is just a small group, but the public officials watched them with scorn. The people in authority not...

If you think that way, then are you not part of those who determine who else is in a cult?

It is much more comfortable for many to accept the majority norms. That way, we are never singled out as being deceivers. We should be grateful the the disciples of Jesus were willing to be singled out. And they never believed in the deity of Jesus, had no scriptures other than the Tanach, were...

Yes, I find responses like this frequently. They comes from those who have put more faith in man's interpretations instead of prayerfully searching scriptures. Of course, I understand why people don't: it is both time consuming and also requires that we empty our selves of the teaching of those...

Beware "the major doctrines" of the Christian faith. There are man-made doctrines is nearly all denominations that are not valid.

The most dangerous cult of all is the one where majority attend.

Yes, it appears that the Sanhedrin believed the disciples of Yeshua to be a cult.

No, I think man should study the history of the King James Bible and acknowledge the comparison between it and our oldest copies of the manuscripts. 1 Jn 5:7–8 For there are three that testify: the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree.

There is yet time to let God give you His truth - which may well not be the truth that man has given.

I suppose this is where I'll just disagree and press one. I do not believe that the fishermen spoke Greek or that Jesus did either.

Well, I suppose it is because that is the one I see as the Old Covenant where we recognize the Ten Commandments. While I know there are others, the one from Moses gets the most attention to our need for a New Covenant. https://bibleproject.com/articles/covenants-the-backbone-bible/
