1. Where the words I believed in the words of His apostles, or His Words? undecided

2. When Jesus Christ spoke of His flock in John 10, He indeed meant the feeding and caring of His flock. Read what God also said of His flock in Ezekiel 34 vs 1 - 16. undecided

The Church that belongs to Jesus Christ is comprised of His followers who He manages and monitors Himself, living according the Will of God(submit to Obey the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ) , and doing works of Righteousness as lead by the Spirit of God. Yes, they all feed and care for the others, just as Jesus Christ instructed. undecided

3a. Peter was not the only one given instructions to feed and care for the others by Jesus Christ since this same teaching was taught by Jesus Christ on more than one occasion to His followers. undecided

3b. As I said before, Jesus Christ started with 12 who He then sent out to preach the Gospel to the unbelievers in the land, this as they became ready to go out . Eventually, Jesus Christ sent out 72 that were ready enough to go preach the Gospel to the unbelievers. The same commandment applies to all those who are ready to go out, and this from Him. undecided

As you can see, unlike what is practiced in your churches today, you don't just go out to preach to unbelievers because you believe. The Teacher, Jesus Christ is instead meant to send us out to doing this when He deems us ready to go out. undecided

As for God and Jesus Christ being the only Teacher to those in His New Covenant, it is made very clear in the New Covenant - Matthew 23 vs 8 - 10, the boldest declaration of all. undecided

Thank you for defining rabbi. His apostles were not teachers of the jewish law.

2. Do you have any scripture of Jesus Christ sending all his followers to teach? The bible records all those he send so where did you read that all those who believe in him were sent out. The Bible clearly told us those who he sent out to preach and baptize. Let's not add to the bible.

3. You claim God was telling his servants in ezekiel 34 to physically feed the believers and same with Peter. If so you mean the purpose of calling apostles was to provide food for the followers right?

1. I think you are confusing issues. Every Christian believes in Christ not his Apostles. And your ideas are not based in scripture. I understand that you are entitled to your opinion.

2. No where in the scriptures were you told to believe the apostles until you become a Christian then you stop believing. To me, it's a strange and funny teaching.
I am not in anyway confusing issues...just making things clear is all.. undecided

1. You claim every Christian believes in Jesus Christ and not in His apostles, yet if you asked 10 Christians of what Jesus Christ taught us on a given topic, chances are all 10 will tell you of what one of His disciples supposedly wrote in their epistles instead of what Jesus Christ in fact quoted as actually saying on the very issue. Most Christians know what Paul supposedly said on matters but have near no clue what Jesus Christ in fact said, if at all, on the very same. undecided

And as Jesus Christ said over and over, those who are of Him, are those who obey His teachings and commandments- not the doctrines and traditions of men, including men such as His apostles. Those who trust in Jesus Christ are those who do as Jesus Christ says. undecided

2. No where in scripture are you even told to believe the apostles to begin with. undecided

Every follower of Jesus Christ is sent out as if a Servant to deliver the Master's message to everyone who will hear. The message you believe is that which the Master gave to the servant and only that. The servant his identity, etc., means nothing since it is His Master that should be of value to you or not. undecided

Lol
.life has no beginning and no end. It's a circle..we go and come. Till we get it right and exit the matrix..
We are all God's breath experiencing life as ourselves. The purpose is to achieve unity and become one indivisible entity.

Forget the bull crap the authors of the Jesus story put in his mouth. Those are pagan ideas that are contrary to the will of our creator. It is better you be alone and keep his commandments than be in a group that worships an idol because they entice you with a promise of peace...it's all an illusion..wake up from it.

No problem, you were a prince among Ibos in your past life, and now you're back among the Ibos again, shey?
You have no problem! smiley

1. Jesus Christ wasn't a Teacher of the Jewish Law yet His disciples caller Him Rabbi. They obviously didn't call Him that because He was Jewish. undecided

2. Jesus Christ said those who love Him are those who obey His commandments - His friends are those who do as He asks - and He did command His followers, the 12, then the 72, to go out and teach teach Gospel to the unbelievers, did He not - John 14 vs 15 - 25 & John 15 vs 14 ? undecided

3. God/Jesus Christ is the one and only Shepherd over His flock - Ezekiel 34 vs 1 - 16 and John 10 vs 1 - 16. We are all all us sheep , and workers/servants in His flock , and our job is to obey the Master's commandments and do the work He has given us to do. undecided

We are tasked with the work of providing food, drink, clothing, home, care, and visitation for those in need of it. No one will enter into Heaven without doing these things - Matthew 25 vs 31 - 46 . That is how important of a Job this is that we have been given. undecided

That is how important of a Job this is that we have been given. True we are taught to be Charitable but Peter was given a special assignment to feed his sheep not just everybody. In Matt 25 vs 31 - 46, we all expected to be charitable to all but when Christ instructed Peter it was specifically to his sheep not to everyone. Clearly, it was a special task, not the everyday task of being kind to all.

1a. You are right that every Word written in the Gospels were written by humans in human language. However, the servants also pointed out the messages of the Master as though Words out of the mouth of God Himself ' Matthew 4 vs 4 undecided

1b. Again, Jesus Christ never gave us a command of the kind you suggest in John 17. What He instead did was ask God to bless even those who will believe in Him because of the words spoken by His apostles. undecided

Jesus Christ never sanctioned there words, not in that context or any other. In John 14 vs 1 - 5, He made it known that it is in Him alone that we are to put ouy trust. undecided

2. The Gospel is God's New Covenant Law in the Kingdom of God and it consists of about 100 commandments which we are meant to live by - Matthew 4 vs 4. It is a Law. So any doctrine or tradition of men that seeks to add, change or remove from God's Law as given by Him, violates the gospel. undecided

We see where he sent the 12, The 72, and the 11 please point out where he sent the rest. Let's depend on the scriptures and not what we think.

2. There was no separate task for Peter because what Jesus Christ commanded Peter to so is the same task Jesus Christ already taught His followers was necessary for all of His servants to accomplish in His Name. You want to point to any other verse where Jesus commanded anyone to feed his sheep. In Matt 25 the commandment was to feed his sheep it was to everyone not specially his sheep. I am open to learning if you have any scripture that teaches otherwise.

And he handed over to his Apostles to occupy until he returns. My point is you are free to believe what you want But clearly, Christ chose people to continue his work after he left. He ordained them and gave them power. This is recorded.

I have come to understand your point of view but as we can both see, it's not supported by a single bible verse. while we have abundant verses that Jesus Chose or call Apostle to represent him and preach the gosple and he gave them power. Your opinion makes a lot of sense but I rather depend on the scriptures and the words of the Savior himself.

The word Apostle means “one sent forth.” It was the title Jesus gave (Luke 6:13) to the Twelve whom He chose and ordained (John 15:16) to be His closest disciples during His ministry on earth and whom He sent forth to represent Him after His Ascension into heaven

Lol..there have always been lunatics in our community. I guess he was one in his past life...we are all God spirit dwelling within a physical body made from dust. The spirit has always been. It was hovering over the earth before the creation began..we have always been. We will always be..
So why quote a book written by men who are Gods themselves for someone who himself or herself is a God?
Why can't each person choose whatsoever he or she pleases to do without anyone telling them? cheesy

Kobojunkie, 1. if God can change from the Moses law to the Jesus law, what makes you think he can't also change from the Jesus law to the Muhammad law?

2. Or do you subscribe to the Marcion idea that the God ofthe old testament can't be the father of Jesus in other words a different God.

Numbers 23:19
1. If you have ever carefully studied anyone of God's Laws, even the Old Covenant Law of Moses, you would understand the why not of that. undecided

God didn't change from the Old Covenant Law of Moses to the New Covenant. The Old Covenant is an everlasting Covenant and so, like Jesus Christ said, not a single jot of God's Law will pass away, not even after Heaven and Earth have. To this very day, every single one born of the blood of Jacob is born bound to the Old Covenant Law of Moses. undecided

2. Nope! undecided

So are you suggesting that God gave different laws to gentiles and jews? If so can you show me where he said that?

Do you know about Marcion?

But we have to live in peace..we have to find a way to do that if not there would be chaos.

So we have to set laws for ourselves..and we must also have a functional justice system.

Well that's exactly what Jesus has done peacefully with Jehovah's Witnesses today!

That's why i keep telling you to go and work on your understanding so that something better than what Jesus did with Jehovah's Witnesses could suffice otherwise there's no other way you or anyone can prove that such a Wonderful Counselor never walked this planet! smiley

Does Jesus need to exist for human to work towards peace ?

Jesus is not here. Whether he did or said those things does not mean anything. I could write about Harry Potter and build a religion around him and 7 million people believe and decide to drop arms and practice love amongst themselves.it does not mean he is real.

The romans created Jesus 2000+ years ago. Jw is just less than 200 years. Between when he was created and 200 years Ago, the Christians has engaged in wars and crusades...so it is not about Jesus. We need to work for peace, Jesus is not important. We need practical laws and a good justice system with people with outstanding characters..

Read Deuteronomy 30 vs 15 -20. We have been over this same issue more than 5 times this year, you and I. undecided

God's Old Covenant Law of Moses is an agreement between God and those with the blood of Jacob coursing through their veins, this in the Land of Canaan, a kingdom in this world. undecided
God intentionally excluded those of Gentile birth from that agreement and He never changed His mind on that. lipsrsealed

Jesus Christ is instead God's New Covenant Law, an agreement between God and individuals, this as Law in the Kingdom of God, and this agreement God promised to bless even the Nations of the earth with, this as promised by God since the time of Abraham. undecided

I don't care about the views of Marcion or any others. undecided

Well Isaiah called him the Wonderful Counselor and Prince of Peace!
I don't think peace can be possible in this world without such a King! Isaiah 9:6-7

Jesus returned in the year 1914 and ever since then he has been gathering his subjects under one umbrella that's why we now have over 8 million people from different races throughout the earth practicing what he taught, they are Jehovah's Witnesses.
Good! Please write such a book and make it work out then you'll have proved that we don't really need Jesus, until then Jesus remains the one and only Prince who can bring about Peace!

After the death of the first pioneers of Christianity a Roman emperor diplomatically seized the opportunity to expand his Kingdom that's why Roman Catholic Church is known till today but that's not what Jesus taught. So it was after 1914 when Jesus returned in spirit that what he taught began manifesting again as he gathered faithful people throughout the earth under one umbrella known as Jehovah's Witnesses. Just organize people who believe in what you're saying and let's see how things work out, then Jesus can be forgotten but until then Jesus is Lord over 8, 700, 000 people who are fully prepared to live by his teachings!

You always end up insulting people when they disagree with you but try to grow up, you can't continue insulting people simply because they don't buy your idea, first make your idea work just like the Wright Brothers and leave people who will not travel in your flying vessel! smiley
