Re: God revealed that Israel would be his chosen
youre both full of shit. the interesting thing is that youre at very different levels of understanding and yet youre neither one any closer than the other to the truth. your head knowledge is not doing much for you, lowhat. what ive noticed over the years is it rarely does in people.
btw, just so you cant say nobody told you, the old testament is the scriptures. the gospels are the fulfillment of the scriptures. the rest is more history, explanatory notes, and are like scriptures, but more like the explanatory notes. i used to call the whole new testament the explanatory notes but it is obvious that the four living carry as much if not more weight than the 24 elders. you have gods voice booming down from the heavens saying to listen to his son jesus and you have jesus saying and doing things that are quite god-like, if you know what i mean.
John 13:34
A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
1 John 2:7-9Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
7 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning. 8 Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth. 9 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
2 John 1:5
And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
