That's mighty good advice there from Forky the Clown. Maybe, just maybe, instead of posting lies like "Jesus said Keep the Ten Commandments" and "Christians don't follow Jesus's Commandments" and the like, you ort to follow that advice.


I mean, gosh, if you are defending the whole "Jesus says follow the Ten Commandments" thing and can't produce one verse what does that say about what you are believing?

If all you have to do is post stuff about Christians then can't defend those posts with anything from the Bible, gosh, are you following Christ's example or that of Satan?

**** fire, if I, as a degenerate can poke holes in your Biblical reasoning, then Forkster, you ain't got much in the way of Biblical reasoning.

In the 21st Chapter of John, Jesus told Peter not to worry about other believers. Maybe, just maybe, you should take Jesus's advice. Ever consider it?

He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

14 BLESSED ARE THEY THAT DO HIS COMMANDMENTS, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and wh*remongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie

Who does christians follow? Who teaches people to do these things? Religion or Jesus?

So what does Jesus say?

But Jesus replied, "Stop complaining about what I said. 44 For no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them to me, and at the last day I will raise them up. 45 As it is written in the Scriptures, 'They will all be taught by God.' Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me. 46 (Not that anyone has ever seen the Father; only I, who was sent from God, have seen him.)

47 "I tell you the truth, anyone who believes has eternal life. 48 Yes, I am the bread of life!

READ THE BIBLE GET RIGHT WITH GOD.

Forkster, you didn't give a "yes" or "no" answer like Jesus commanded. Are you going to be joining me at the Lake?


Please, using what Jesus said, point out my "hypocrisy."

Do whatever you want. Listen to whomever you want.. Go to the Lake of Fire. You call Jesus a liar with your hypocrisy . Jesus is the ONLY WAY to Eternal Life and that means you can't do just whatever you .

When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. 44 Then it says, 'I will return to the house I left.' When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. 45 Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation."

Jesus' Mother and Brothers

46 While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to him. 47 Someone told him, "Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you."

48 He replied to him, "Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?" 49 Pointing to his disciples, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers. 50 For WHOEVER does THE WILL OF MY FATHER IN HEAVEN is my brother and sister and mother."

Forky the Clown:


Now that I've sobered up and ain't distracted by female companionship, let me address your ongoing concern about this so called "paganism."

Christians believe that there is only one God. Whatever those pagans were worshiping are figments of their (and maybe your) imaginations. Whatever was consecrated to those figments of imagination have no meaning to God or to Christians. John 1:3 tells us that God (with Jesus with Him) created everything. I would imagine that includes the 25th day of December, wouldn't you?

If Christians were teaching that it is a sin not to celebrate Christmas then I would agree with you that they were not following any of Jesus's commandments. However, I have never heard that preached from any pulpit or street corner. Nor have I ever read a Denominational Canon that states a person has to celebrate Christmas to be a believer. Therefore there is no commandment telling us not to celebrate Christmas.

How many days of the year have the Forksters conceded to Satan? Is it just Christmas or have you decided that Satan gets Easter too? Ash Wednesday? The Fourth of July? How about tax day, April fifteenth?

The Psalmist said "This is the day that the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it." (Psalm 118:24 NLT) I'm sorry that the Forksters are sad so much of the time.

Hey, have you found any of those verses what tell us Jesus said to Keep the Ten Commandments? (Jesus said to let your yes be yes and your no be no and everything else comes from the Devil, Matthew 5:37, right?)

I feel sorry for arrogant people that want recognize Sin That's the problem with religion it makes it's very own Sabbath it's Holy Days Celebration without the authority of God. Make that Money 🤑 🤑 🤑 ðŸ'° ðŸ'° ðŸ'°
I trust Jesus not Christianity. I'll follow what Jesus taught. You follow Christianity. The Birth of Jesus is when? Book Chapter Verse. It's no place in the Bible. IT'S PAGAN. You follow man religion you follow SATAN. You better beware and pay attention to this because that is exactly how you will be judged.

But all who reject me and my message will be judged on the day of judgment by the truth I have spoken. 49 I don't speak on my own authority. The Father who sent me has commanded me what to say and how to say it. 50 And I know his commands lead to eternal life; so I say whatever the Father tells me to say."
Matthew 4 Jesus told him, "No! The Scriptures say,

'People do not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.'[b]"

You admit that you follow traditions of the Christian Religion instead of staying Truth to Jesus..

4 Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. 5 But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin. 6 No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him.

7 Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. 8 The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work. 9 No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God. 10 This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God's child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister.

Google what do Christians call Sin. This is the reply. Read it and make a judgement call.

In Christianity, sin is a transgression of divine law and an immoral act. It's also considered to be a defiance of God's commandments, or an attitude of hatred or defiance towards God. The Bible describes sin as rebellion against God (Deuteronomy 9:7; Joshua 1:18) and a transgression of God's law (1 John 3:4

Forky the Clown, gosh I've seldom paid witness to such slithering and hissing. Show more of your impotent rage.

You were the one who was unable to provide any evidence of your claims. All you had to do was simply provide one of Jesus's commandments that Christians fail to follow and you have thus far completely failed.

You did ask an interesting question though. You asked why, if Jesus dint say it, follow it? Christians use many of those events to get together with fellow believers to worship together and to demonstrate their Christian love for one another. Why do Forksters avoid those opportunities?

But, more to the heart of the matter, why do Forksters say that adherence to the Israelite tradition of the Sabbath is required for salvation? After months of searching have you found a verse that Jesus commanded us to do that? As you pointed out, Jesus commanded that you let your "Yes" be Ues and your "No" be no. So quoted Forky the Clown.

Forky the Clown keeps on slithering and hissing like his namesake from Eden. I guess, like any half- *** charlatan, you quote the passage about Yes and No being Yes and No then decide that commandment from Jesus doesn't apply to you. Slither much Forky?

First, Christians believe in Jesus Christ. They know He is the Son of God and they follow His commandments. Unlike Forksters who think Jesus forgot to command some stuff.

Matthew 16--Christ Ordained the Church.

Christians don't rest on Sunday. They work for Christ everyday including Sunday. Jesus said both He and God work on the Sabbath (John 5:17.) Are Forksters jealous that they don't follow Christ's example?

Luke Chapter 2 tells us how God sent Angels to Earth for to celebrate the birth of Christ. 'Course Christ Himself never ordered anybody to celebrate Christmas--in my view it takes a pretty right **** to go around asking for folks to throw 'em a birthday party. None the less, Christianity doesn't preach that ignoring Christmas is a sin. You don't even have to show up for Church on that day unless you want to. Wait, that's true about every time Churcb is in session. Are Forksters of the opinion that God or the angels sinned by celebrating that first Christmas?

Inauthentic 24 Jesus talks about the coming of summer, so I figure he so noticed the coming of Fall, and Winter and Spring along their yearly cycles. I didn't know that the Christian Church ordered folks to celebrate the New Year, but if you say so. Are Forksters prone to writing the "wrong" dates on their checks? If so, I may be more Forkster than I realized.

While I have visited some Catholic Churches ongoing the way, I don't claim to understand their whole system of Sainthood. You got me on St. Patrick's day Forky, but I ain't heard of a Church throwing a good old fashioned St. Patrick's Day service either, have you? Now, don't get me wrong, I've been to some great Paddy's Day Bashes what with Green Beer and redheaded Wimmer wearing "Kiss me, I'm Irish" t-shirts a d pinching the ladies whether they were wearing green or not,but I'm pretty sure I weren't thinking of Christ when I was there. What color is the beer Forksters drink? Are y'all prejudiced against redheads?

Again, not being steeped in the Catholic Tradition, as near as I can tell Saint Valentine is all about love. Weren't it Jesus who commanded us to love each other? Oh yeah, you can read about it Matthew Chapter 22.

You can read about Easter in Mark 16. Do Forksters not believe Jesus was raised from the dead? No wonder you are such a sad bunch. Trust thr Bible Forky!

.Can you show a single one of Jesus's commandments prohibiting (that means forbidding) any of those things?

Forky the Clown, you say it is a "false interpretation" but you can't show a single one of Jesus's commandments that Christians fail to follow.

As we have seen, your own interpretation is unsupported by Christ's words as found in the Bible.

If one were to be selecting an interpretation to follow would you recommend on that is backed by Christ's words (Christianity) or one that has to "add words to the Book" like Forksterism?

Again, a "Yes" or "No" question: have you found one of Jesus's commandments that Christians fail to keep?

mhj

Posted 3:21 pm, 06/16/2024

Your INTERPRETATION is unacceptable it's full of lies half-truths fables traditions and FALSE INTERPRETATION. Something you should REJECT. Read the Good News that Jesus offers to all that OBEY Him. You so blind you don't recognize the teaching of Jesus because you blindly accept religion.. .. If Jesus didn't TEACH IT don't acknowledge or ACCEPT IT .

Which do Christian Rest on the Sabbath Day or the FIRST DAY???
The FIRST DAY which they claim is THEIR own Sabbath Day.

Not Peace, but a Sword
34 "Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 And a person's enemies will be those of his own household. 37 Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

Forky the Clown, Christians don't claim that the Sabbath has been changed to Sunday that is your misunderstanding. Christians believe that the Sabbath, being part of God's Covenant with the Children of Israel, simply does not apply to them.

Once Jesus gave the "Great Commission" the Old Covenant Law (including the Ten Commandments) became part of religious history. Jesus told everybody that all they had to do to get eternal life was to follow His commandments.

I about giggled until I peed when I read you (of all people) demanding a yes or no answer. But, "No" Jesus didn't change the Sabbath, Jesus did away with the Sabbath when He "fulfilled" the law.

Can you find where Jesus told us to follow the Ten commanents? Yes or No?

Did Jesus follow the LAWS of God? Yes or No
Did Jesus change the Sabbath Day? Yes or No
Did Jesus fulfill his prophecy of in the tomb for 3 nights and 3 days? Yes or No

If Jesus didn't say it why follow it??? . Did Jesus say he changed Gods Holy Day to the FIRST DAY ? Yes or No. The Jews CREATED traditions instead of staying true to GOD! the Disciples of Jesus where confronted by the Jews why they didn't OBEY TRADITIONS OF ELDERS ?? Mark 7

HOW about Christmas??? CAN'T believe in religion and Jesus .. It's either one or the other.

The precise origin of assigning December 25 as the birth date of Jesus is unclear. The New Testament provides no clues in this regard. December 25 was first identified as the date of Jesus' birth by Sextus Julius Africanus in 221 and later became the universally accepted date. One widespread explanation of the origin of this date is that December 25 was the Christianizing of the dies solis invicti nati ("day of the birth of the unconquered sun"), a popular holiday in the Roman Empire that celebrated the winter solstice as a symbol of the resurgence of the sun, the casting away of winter and the heralding of the rebirth of spring and summer. Indeed, after December 25 had become widely accepted as the date of Jesus' birth, Christian writers frequently made the connection between the rebirth of the sun and the birth of the Son. One of the difficulties with this view is that it suggests a nonchalant willingness on the part of the Christian church to appropriate a pagan festival when the early church was so intent on distinguishing itself categorically from pagan beliefs and practices.
