@secondson saidAccording to Christ, everyone who hears him and does not follow what he says is a fool.
So, by your definition, everyone but you is a fool.
@secondson saidNo.
"The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit."
Do you even cringe just a little when you read that?
@secondson saidNot every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. (Matthew 7:21-27 KJV)
Jesus used the term "fool" twice only, and in each case it had nothing to do with hearing His commandments.
In Matthew 5:22 though is found something Jesus said that best applies to you Rajk. After all you often call others fools and idiots.
"...whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire."
Hypocrite.
You preach that following the commandments are not required.
Jesus says otherwise and says you are likened unto a foolish man.
Jesus is basically calling you a fool.
The Lord Lord types of Christian who profess to know Christ but who do not follow his commandments are in more serious danger. Focus on that.
@rajk999 saidFunny you should say that because Jesus said this, "...to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent." Eternal life is knowing God, from there the works occurs, but if you are not abiding in God you have missed it. This is all about God through Jesus Christ, your doctrine of works makes it about you.
I trust what Jesus says about how to get eternal life in the Kingdom of God.
John 17 English Standard Version (ESV)
When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.

@thinkofone saidBecause they're human?
Why is it that so many Christians have so little humility?
Does Rajk demonstrate humility? Oh but, that's right, he doesn't identify as a Christian.
But his hate gets a pass.
@rajk999 saidWorry about yourself. Hypocrite. Your words in this forum show you violate every commandment you pretend to endorse.
[i]Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

@secondson saidYour doctrine is a bumper sticker?? Lol .. 😊
No grace, no God. Know grace, know God.
@rajk999 saidI think you cannot keep your story straight, and that is why you cannot continue to use your explanations. You don't always recall how you dodged an answer so you just shut down and refuse to attempt to justify what cannot be justified.
Yep .. your 24 hr memory is annoying. I will not be revisiting topics already discussed several times.
@kellyjay saidIndicative of an imposter. The symptom of hypocrisy.

@secondson saidThis is what Christianity is now. The ones who preach what Jesus preached are being abused and called impostor and hypocrite. The ones who deny the teachings of Christ and who depart from the true doctrine and faith of Christ are the true Christians.
