Zone1 Why did Jesus insist that the commandments be observed?

[Hafar1014]

Not in the least. It's a documented fact. Your people - not you because you reject God - made it about rule following. Jesus corrected that and made it about loving God which you do not do.

Hell isnt the creation of a loving God. Thats a punitive god was your father like that

 

[Lisa558]

No. One that believes it's about loving God rather than following rules.

You mean following commandments? That is how Jews show their respect and love for Gd.

Also, no loving Gd would doom people to hell because they don’t think a man who lived 2,000 years ago is his son.

Gd focuses on ACTIONS of people.

Because they are good rules to live by?

It's not surprising you recoil at the thought of being held accountable by God.

She doesnt have a clue. She believes humans are animals inherently bad and must be punished all the time to do good. This is person raised by an autocratic father who has been shamed in self lothing and uses Jesus as a coping mechanism.

Except they made it about rule following instead of loving God.

She? You must be upset. This is like the 8th time you have brought up my father.

Correct. Hell is not a creation. It's an act. Hell is being eternally separated from God.

I would leave out the word 'rules', but essentially, yes. They are guidelines for living a life of blessings.

1. When coming up with priorities in your life, have God be your first priority.
2. Remember God is holy, and what you ask of him should also be holy.
3. Spend at least one day a week with God.
4. Honor your parents.

etc.

The problem some have with Commandments is instead of meditating/contemplating them, people search for the "But...what if..." Ignore that and return to, Do what is holy.

Gd focuses on ACTIONS of people.

It is the Glory of Christianity to have enemies that have to lie about Christianity.

Only one was God revealing himself to man.

Please identify specifically what I stated that was inaccurate.

 

[Hafar1014]

Correct. Hell is not a creation. It's an act. Hell is being eternally separated from God.

Then why is it so hot. I did hear they have great parties

Please identify specifically what I stated that was inaccurate.

I was commenting on your implied belief that Christianity was not a revealed religion (i.e. God seeking man). That Christianity was some how a fake or an imposter religion. Jesus Christ dispels that notion.

Hell is being separated from God. I believe that it is logical that it is possible to be separated from God.

Thats emotion not logic. I do know some successful and happy atheists.

No. It's sound logic. It's called accountability for one's actions and behaviors. It would be illogical to believe that all behaviors lead to equal outcomes.

That's great and has absolutely nothing to do with whether hell exists or not.

It doesnt exist I have had afterlife experiences there is no hell. Only one dimension we all go to

I read those posts. You didn't die and experience an afterlife. You went to mediums who told you things. Which by the way is forbidden by your religion. If you actually practiced it which you don't.
