you seek praise from your fellow men for your "wise view points."
Right here he is condemning the ridiculousness of the grounds of the charge of adultery when most men KNOW that they look at women lustfully. It is in our biological make-up silly. So, if you cannot control your own biological impulses, do not judge women who do the same. The whole Sermon on the Mount is a condemnation of the system of judges ruled over by the Pharisees were by they make up silly laws to enslave man against his own biological nature.

I do not want to argue with you..but..like delayed christmas mentioned...those who care about the words of Christ do not want to see them twisted , and falsely taught to others.

If you were truly of God you would know that it is God that gives sight or takes it away. None can be deceived but through his will.

Seeking praise from men huh?
Perhaps that is your motivation, but it is not mine.
I am no fool. I know that what ever time I have in this world, it will end. At the end of that time I hope not to be remembered among the many faces that changed the course of our history, I care not for material gains and recognition that will fade in the timeless stretch of eternity. I am wiser than this, though a fool on many things.
My motivation is simple. I have studied many different faiths. I have studied many different cultures. I have interacted with many different people around the world from all walks of life. No matter how wretched the popular opinion was on a matter, I explored it to formulate my own opinion on the matter. In all of this I have come to understand the goodness that lies at the heart of man. It is there within us all. The prostitute, the clergy, the soldier, and the doctor, each and every person has a life worth living, a life worth loving.
What keeps them apart is senseless superstition.
Superstition that Christ stood against!
I stand with Christ.
Call me a demon if it pleases you my friend. I'd rather your brutal honesty than be deceived into thinking you were indeed a Brother in Christ.
Know this as you make your judgements though. If ever you were found in a ditch, I would not hesitate to pull you out. Not even if you wore a pentagram around your neck and had 666 tattooed on your forehead.
Such superstitions bring know fear to my heart. Only love for the diversity of God.
I know who is my Shepherd, and I do not want.
With Love,
Your Brother

your right... i am not a brother of YOUR christ, nor will i ever be
When you have given all your money to the poor and set out on a life of following Christ, you know - doing what he actually said to do, then come talk to me about my teachings.
you say with love, but you do not know what love is

This again appears to be more self glorifying.. because for a "humble' christian you sure come on like your some kind of "love guru"..doing the only REAL spiritual christian lifestyle.

Problem is if you set out on a life of following Christ....you know.....like He said he wants to do.. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be patting you on the back..and and giving you blessings while you enjoyed the favors of some hooker.. whether it was a male or female version...and if you want to deceive yourself into believing that.. it is your choice.
Uh, but wasn't Mary Magdalene a...

You have stated you are NOT a Christian...so WHO ARE YOU to try and spread the teachings of Christ..and tell us what the antichrist is.
38And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us. 39But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. 40For he that is not against us is on our part. 41For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.
I think you should check yourself my friend... Perhaps you might read some of his other posts before making this judgement towards him... I would accept his words before ANY Christian...

i am done here; you have seen the trial and proof.
it is up for you decide, and the question is simple: will you follow your christ, or THE CHRIST.

I have read other posts of his..and he does not speak for christ..
You have the right to except anybody's words before a Christians.. but it seems a little hokey to be buying into somebodys idea of what jesus words meant when he can't even call himself a christian.. and seems to think prostitution is part of gods plan..
But hey..you have your own free will to..just don't expect all of us to buy into his garbage.. .. and don't expect that some Christians won't stand up for what Christ meant by His sermons and teachings...and don't care to see them distorted in way that could be very damaging to souls.
Oh I am terribly sorry. I did not realize that Christians had a monopoly on Christ's message.
Who am I? I have been called many things among men. I am Tata Ngombe en Toto, my name given me in the house of a friend. It means "King of the Earth". I have also gone by Little Bear, Arthur, Lynch, Pete, and many others. My father knows me as I AM. Call me what you will.
Matthew 7:13-14
King James Version (KJV)
13Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it
