How incredibly silly. No one is my master. I am ANTI-slavery physical or spiritual.
Guess that makes me an anti-christ *shrug*
Words are dangerous weapons when used carelessly.

at the original poster: Jesus taught equality? Calling Jesus God is wrong? Dude, did you even read what Jesus said? Cause I don't think you did. Jesus said no man comes to the Father but through Me. If you are serious about your salvation, Jesus is it. He is fully man and fully God, He's the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, the Author of our salvation, the warrior King of righteousness, the Saviour of our souls, the Redeemer, the Healer, and my God. Go back and read it again.
The words antichrist and antichrists appear four times in the First and Second Epistle of John.[d][e][f][g] The word is not capitalized in most English translations of the Bible, including the original King James Version. 1 John chapter 2 refers to many antichrists present at the time while warning of one Antichrist that is coming.[h] The "many antichrists" belong to the same spirit as that of the one Antichrist.[f][h] John wrote that such antichrists deny "that Jesus is the Christ", "the Father and the Son", and would "not confess Jesus came in the flesh.": a probable reference to the Gnostic claim that Jesus was not human, but only a spirit.
Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, who also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven." – Acts 1:9-11

This is all in the bible. It tells me that Jesus is in heaven at the right hand of the Father, and you go to Him to be saved. Don't worry though, He can hear you from where He is. No need to go anywhere.

I really don't understand why you think what you think. I mean, the bible is so clear on it. I accepted Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior over a decade ago, and have been living a spirit-filled life. I know God, I know Jesus, and I know you don't know your scripture. I also know that I'm done going in circles with you, so unless you have something else to bring to the table here then I've said all I need to say in this thread.
15If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 18I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. 19Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. 20At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. 21He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. 22Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? 23Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. 24He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
According to Christian belief, The Last Supper is the final meal that Jesus Christ shared with his Twelve Apostles in Jerusalem before his crucifixion.[
According to Paul (1 Corinthians 11:23–26), at that meal Jesus, on the night he was betrayed or "delivered up", gave his disciples bread, saying it was his body, which was broken for them, and gave them wine, saying it was the new covenant in his blood, and told them to do it in his memory. In the Synoptic Gospels, Jesus institutes a new covenant of his blood and body, the wine and bread, at the Passover meal.[3] The Gospel of John recounts, instead of the institution of this new covenant with wine and bread, Jesus' washing of the disciples' feet,[4] and also depicts Jesus as speaking at length in his farewell discourse. In John, the Last Supper takes place on the night before Passover, the night before the Passover lambs were slaughtered.[5]
Revelation 22:18–19 18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. 19 And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.
If you LOVE Christ you will keep his commandments. Do I need to remind you of his commandments?
Love God
Love your Neighbor
Judge not, lest ye be Judged.
Bless the meek
Bless the poor in spirit
Love your enemies
Do I need to go on? If you are a follower of Christ, keep his commandments. If you are not willing to keep his commandments, then do not claim to follow Christ.
The Old Testament, (...) The laws contained within represent the laws of that tribe, and the representation of God is not the universal representation that Jesus saw.

Bull. You're pulling doctrine out of the air here to fit the new age "Everyone is a god or everyone's god is everyone else's.." You had to drop most of the bible to make that fit. Think about that for a second.

My beliefs are this: Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. No man may come to the Father but through Him.

Jesus came and died for our sins so that we were no longer bound by Old Testiment law. It only existed to hold us over until He triumphed over sin and hell and bridged the gap between us and God.

If you do not accept him as your personal Lord and Saviour, you will go to hell, and it will be of your own doing. That is in the bible. That is the truth.

What you are doing, sir, is cherry-picking to make it fit the model you want it to.
