You referenced my citation, tiger. In essence, you quoted my quote and questioned whether Christians were supposed to follow it.
Originally posted by @fmfSeems like you’re engaging in projection, kiddo. I think your claim of being a former learned Christian was exposed.

Originally posted by @romans1009When I was a Christian, adherence to the Christian religion that I subscribed to involved a requirement to obey God's and Jesus' commandments. To me, my Christian beliefs and living my Christian life was about much more than just "salvation". On the thread with the exchange between us that you are now lying about, I was basing my comments on the view that a Christian life involves obeying God's commandments. I did not claim that this was a "learned" Christian perspective: a lie. I did not quote Ecclesiastes: a lie. And I did not 'not realize' that Ecclesiastes was in the OT; a third lie, all in half a sentence. You are a liar.

I won’t dwell on it, but try to be more careful in the future.

You’re claiming Job didn’t obtain salvation in the way salvation-by-faith Christians contend it is obtained today, correct?
FMF, who purported to be a learned Christian at one time, didn’t know Ecclesiastes was in the Old Testament and now you apparently don’t know Jesus Christ’s arrival on earth was after Job lived by a few thousand years.
Sad!
Originally posted by @fmfYou tied Christianity to Ecclesiastes 12:13. It was only natural for me to draw that conclusion. I thought you understood Christianity. For you (and several others on here it seems,) Christianity is no different from the Old Testament - follow rules and regulations.

[1] What was Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross for? [2] What did His Resurrection demonstrate? [3] What is the purpose of the indwelling of God’s Holy Spirit in a believer? [4] How is God’s New Covenant with man different from the Old Testament?

Originally posted by @romans1009Good. Don't retread it then. It was not controversial.

Good. Don't retread it then. It was not controversial.
Originally posted by @romans1009I see your contention ~ that obeying your god figure's and Jesus' commandments is not part of adherence to the Christian religion ~ as controversial. Maybe you are part of the 40,001st denomination that I hadn't yet come across.

Originally posted by @romans1009Try this theology out on Christians who believe in Jesus and for whom living a Christian life is about following his commandments.
Christianity is not about following rules. It’s about a relationship with and walk with Jesus Christ. The Old Testament and Judaism was about following rules.
Originally posted by @fmfThe “following His commandments” comes through relying on the power of God’s Holy Spirit. Think of it this way - Suppose a guy is sloppy as a bachelor. Leaves his dirty clothes everywhere, leaves dirty dishes in the sink, never vacuums, doesn’t take out the garbage, etc. Then he falls in love with a woman and marries her and they live together. Now he puts his dirty clothes in the hamper, washes the dishes, vacuums once a week and takes out the garbage. Is he “following rules” when he does all of that? Do you think his new wife even had to tell him to do those things? Or does he do those things out of love and respect for her?
