The 10 Commandments were written in stone with the Finger of God. They are God’s enduring Covenant, open to all people.
At the time Jesus appeared, following him was a violation of the most serious of Commandments - idolatry.
To follow Jesus, or even entertain the idea that he was God in the flesh, first required a grave sin to be committed.
Those who were righteous and followed God’s Commandments to the letter would have wanted nothing to do with a man who claimed to be God.
If God were to offer a new covenant, would he not make this new Covenant accessible to those who most strictly followed his Commandments? Because these obedient people, wary of sin, are the very people who would have been left out of this new Covenant.
It is the sinful who would have listened to the word of the so called corporeal God. Not the righteous. God rewards the sinful and the most righteous who kept true to the Commandments are damned?
Interesting. You would think a New Covenant would be offered in a manner that did not exclude His most loyal adherents.
Are we sure a tree started in sin is a Good Tree? Its fruit is a Snake Cult with a man who claims to speak for God and says sin is a-ok, so long as you pay/confess.
Out of the Snake Cult came what looks like controlled opposition, in Martin Luther. Sin as much as you want and be saved. What’s important is Faith Alone. What God wrote in stone with His Finger does not count. Idolatry is your way to Heaven.
I don’t know Jow Forums. It seems a little too (((easy))) to reach Heaven these days.
Following the 10 Commandments is hard.
I’m suspicious
