‘Carry neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, neither two robes, neither shoes, nor yet a staff. Mt 10’
If a person "was" to follow the teachings and religion of Jesus, they would be a homeless, wandering, shoeless, naked (assuming they sold their one robe to buy a sword), penniless, exorcist who carried out fake healings and miracles; they would just be another religious fanatic and charlatan; the world has so many of those already; further if they adhered to the "law and the prophets" they would never cut their hair or trim their beard and they would have to be genocidally and criminally insane in order to carry out all the required executions under the law.

Agreed, however, you might want to do your research, the anti-christ isn't something people become through ignorance but rather the worship of Satan (the god of this world). Many people offer things that don't belong to them up to him and he accepts it, in return they get money, fame, etc. (not Eternal Life though, and that's what you're really supposed to want right?). There are groups, (and 1 big one, You know who I'm talking about) that worship him and defile others and themselves in his name, they show it off and do it right in front of us and God because the Devil loves Blaspheme. I'm sorry to those who don't agree with me, but I wish you would. Seriously, read the bible up and down, back and forth, talk to Him, you'll get it.
And to those that get it but turn to this sick life, there's a song you should hear made just for you from Eminem (trust him, he's been there, seen it, done that) called "No Love." And if you don't like that one check out Lil Wayne's (ft. Eminem) title "Drop the World."
He's coming, prepare yourselves, please.
I'd like to meet you all one day and when there's eternal life I'll have the time, but I can't meet you there if you don't get it.
Wake up.

My friend, there are two things we are to love, and to love IS worship.
1. God - Everything, this existence.
2. Your neighbor. anyone outside you body.
All else is material and irrelevant. Some have been blinded by the material things that our system has given us. Do not judge harshly the blind simply because they have fallen. Love them. They are your family. Be there when they are ready to get back up. Do not mock them because they are down.
If you had been born in their shoes and suffered the same temptations they had, YOU might be walking the very same path as them.
With Love,
Your Brother

Suppose you hear in one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you that some worthless rabble among you have led their fellow citizens astray by encouraging them to worship foreign gods. In such cases, you must examine the facts carefully. If you find it is true and can prove that such a detestable act has occurred among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock.
Deuteronomy 13:13-19
If the Biblical deity is loving, this love seems only to apply to members of his ancient tribe. If there are any towns where there is even a single person who does not revere the ancient tribal deity of the Israelites, and who evangelises for a different deity, the entire town is to be subjected to genocide and all the livestock are to be slaughtered. Hardly very "loving."

Because someones life was sub-par at best, that is no excuse for them to act without respect. Many people grew up on the wrong side of the tracks. Many people were in a situation of blood, dying and war. Many of those people, were good people and remained so.
Once again, if you follow the bible, you would know pushing god like a drug is a sin upon itself.

My friend, a lot of things have been attributed to God in the old testament that were really only attributable to human ego. I look at the Old testament as nothing more than Man's growing understanding of God. Originally it was a benevolent creator. As Man grew attached to the material world, his definition of God became more angry and sinister.
Jesus came to set the record straight once and for all.
Lets apply logic here. If you do not believe in God, humor me for a moment
God is Omnipotent - All Powerful
God is Omnipresent - Everywhere
God is Omniscient - All Knowing
God is Omnibenevolent - All Good
God creates Man and endows him with his own free will.
God is everywhere so he is within Man. Remember he breathed life into Adam.
God is all knowing so he KNOWS exactly what man is going to do through out time.
God is all powerful so though he gave man free will, he still has other powers to guide man to do what is right.
God is all good So he cannot choose one Man over another. He would be deciding against himself (he is in man) and cannot do it!
God cannot do any evil to one man as punishment. He would be doing it to himself. Fortunately, we do not live forever, yet.
If we did not die, some would be in torment by other men forever. So, we fortunately have a life span while we learn to use our free will and live together lovingly.
With Love,
Your Brother

And you put your face too close to the camera in your picture, makes you look seriously happy and makes me feel like your watching me. No being mean just helping a BROTHER out.

I have taken the walking in another's shoes to the straight edge of the abyss of many souls. I know what makes people do the things they do. It is because they do not know any different with provable results. Self worth has been shattered and many wrestle demons unimaginable to others. You may have such things in your past, and now that you have conquered them by suppressing them, you feel it is the right thing to distance yourself from others who are not as strong.
Do what you will. It is your life. You have your own baggage from it. No one here is trying to change your mind or your heart. I simply present the information, and you decide if it has merit.
With Love,
Your Brother

Do you know me? What have I suppressed ? What souls are you talking about ? What abyss. Explain how you are so righteous to have had been so close to the bottom, that it makes you better than everyone else. I suppress nothing. My experiences in life make me who I am. I don't walk in other people's shoes. Why ? cause they don't fit. If people need help of need to talk about their experiences, I will help or listen.
If you truly follow the bible, you wouldn't be pushing god like a drug. Why don't you tell me, where in the bible, that quatrain is ....... because, its in there ...

Old Testament, So, they had to write a new book to hide ?? what ? Please do your historical research. Once again, the bible itself ( not the new testament which is a joke ) is a full of tidbits of actual history. You can't deny written history. God did bot breath life into the Adam. God created "the" adam.
God can't do evil? Their are many biblical references to god putting forth punishment in the name of righteousness. A true god, would not do anything, he would never cross the line of free will. Ever. You alone, choose how you want to be.

If you already have your mind made up on these things my friend, that is fine by me. I am not trying to change your mind. Keep your opinions. If what you know as the "truth" brings you peace, joy, and love for all, keep it.
Judge not, Love all, be at peace.

My friend, Christs two great commandments were to Love God with all your being, and your neighbor as yourself. All else is commentary on how to get to Heaven, and how to do these two commandments.
Love is the law.
While Christ was of peace, love, he also was judging people
