I'm glad I found the WAY.
The law of the old testament. The ten commandments are still in effect.
Exodus 20,
"And God spake all these words, saying, I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
And God spoke all these words: “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
Then God instructed the people as follows: “I am the Lord your God, who rescued you from slavery in Egypt.
1.
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
2.
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in
the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of
the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and
keep my commandments.
3.
Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
4.
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in
it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is
within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD
blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
5.
Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
6.
Thou shalt not kill.
7.
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
8.
Thou shalt not steal.
9.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
10.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor
his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s."
Now, it's impossible for anyone to keep all ten, Jesus said, Whosoever has looked upon a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with
her in his heart.
He also said that if you're angry with your brother without cause, that you are guilty of murder.
He died for stupid (willfully ignorant, stubborn)people as well as the intellectual idolator.(those who think too highly of themselves and worship
their own intellect.)
Jesus taught if someone smite you on the cheek, offer the other one, as well.
That is not a conspiracy of bible-believers ready to bomb clinics and kill the unrighteous!
Jesus COMMANDED us to LOVE your enemy, do good to those that despitefully use you. Pray for those that hate you.
Because of some unbalanced, pschologically disturbed individuals go out and kill and hate. That is against the new covenant and what Jesus taught.
And for you to hate Jesus is WRONG.
