Religious peoples:If god came to you and said:"Follow only the old testament , Jesus was a fraud" , would you?

Answer 1

No! Because he would never NEVER tell people that his son was a fraud. I have a loving God and he loves his son. That would be like saying to my own son (if i had one) is a fake. It doesnt make any sense.

Answer 2

It seems to me you know something that most of us do not1 I think both old and new testaments are a historic view of what happened in that era in that part of the world. Rome controled the Jews, Arabs and whoever ,it was a super power, so I tend to believe Jeshua was a true religious patriot who wanted to free his land at any cost! It seems to me is all about goats, baptisms, oral traditions on the creation of our world , a pancake in the midst of wordfare, but what is very clear to me is ; that a Being , a mystery of sort created us and the magnificent universe we inhabit, because humans even the most primitives have an self belief of a creator, being , mystery, spirit , but it is always a Being! There is Intelligence here! Look at us , then go look at the natives of New Guinea! ? Why? Where? How? We are like ants in this quest!

Answer 3

"Beloved do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God; and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; and this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world" ( I John 4:1-3)
"But even though we (Paul and his coworkers), or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel contrary to that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed (Galatians 1:9)

Answer 4

If God, Himself, undeniably stood before me and told me that only the Old testament was valid and to live in that manner, then yes. I would follow that law to the best of my ability.

Answer 5

No.

1 John 4:1-3 (Amplified Bible)

1BELOVED, DO not put faith in every spirit, but prove (test) the spirits to discover whether they proceed from God; for many false prophets have gone forth into the world.

2By this you may know (perceive and recognize) the Spirit of God: every spirit which acknowledges and confesses [the fact] that Jesus Christ (the Messiah) [actually] has become man and has come in the flesh is of God [has God for its source];

3And every spirit which does not acknowledge and confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh [but would [a]annul, destroy, [b]sever, disunite Him] is not of God [does not proceed from Him]. This [[c]nonconfession] is the [spirit] of the antichrist, [of] which you heard that it was coming, and now it is already in the world.

Answer 6

i detect it unusual that Christians 'stress at a gnat' to justify Jesus with "Jewish scripture". Why are they utilizing altered texts of alternative peoples scripture to by some ability educate their beliefs? Seeing Jesus in each and every verse they prefer and typically taking the texts out of context and typically in problem-free words area of a sentence (and in case you study extra, it may disprove their aspect). they ought to first seem on the alterations made to the first Greek textual content made for the Ptolemy's which then also take position contained in the NT. Then why did the "ebionites" come out with the Stephanus and then yet another greek version contained in the 2d century c.e. and differs little or no from the previous variations, except for most each and each and every of the verses quoted contained in the NT? Jews reported the C's replaced the textual content, even with the undeniable fact that the C's reported no and accused the Masoretes of taking all references to Christ out of the bible. till finally, the Qumran texts confirmed it replaced into no longer the J's who replaced those verses. And we ought to no longer ignore Jerome who justified his alterations by preserving the unique Greek copyists were extra asleep than unsleeping and why no longer replace the textual content to make it extra acceptable for Christians. shouldn't Christians be looking Jesus in writings once they believe Jesus replaced into born? Why are not many speaking about the numerous letters, apocylypses, different writings, and gospels by Pilate, the Roman Senate, Mary, Mary M, Thomas, Didymous Thomas-the dual of Jesus, Judas, Naasenes, Nazareans, Marcion, Proteus Peringeus, Simon Magus, Dosithesus, Valentinus, Pseudo-Clementine, Docetists, Diognetius, Meleagar the Cynic from Gadara, Dionysus statute contained in the ruins of a theater contained in the large city of Sepporis on the sting of a touch hamlet of "Nazareth".and so on. they ought to attempt to locate Jesus contained in the NT. perhaps the Jesus of gospels or the different Jesus contained in the 7 'authentic' or the different inauthentic Pauline letters; by both the Paul of Acts or the easily one of Galatians. Which gospel Jesus, the only in Matthew or the only in John, or Luke or Mark. And which of the Jesuses in each and each and every of those gospels or the only in Q? The Cynic, the Stoic, the Pharisee, the Saducee, or the Zealot Jesus or the only from Qumran?

Answer 7

Jesus said follow the rules in the old testament. Do you see anyone doing it? There's your answer.

Answer 8

In the old testament there are prophesies that come true in the new testament. Why only read half of history, when you can see what happens later on? Stop short changing yourself by only reading half of history.

Answer 9

I do just that-----I follow the Tanakh (what you call the OT). And, I am very religious. Why do you consider only Christians to be religious?

Answer 10

Than God would be a liar, and He doesn't lie. That's contradictory to His nature. So, please, don't ask question about events that would never happen. Only Satin would say such a thing and try to trick us that he is God.
