**THERE ARE MANY CHRISTIAN PREACHERS AND TEACHERS WHO BELIEVE THE NEW TESTAMENT IS LIKE A LARGE **SMORGASBORD** AND WE CAN JUST PICK OUT THE THINGS WE LIKE**??

There are many Christian preachers and teachers who believe that the New Testament is like a large **SMORGASBORD** and we can just pick out the things we like . There are even some preachers and teachers who only teach about how to be saved or born again which is only about 5 percent of the New Testament.
**BUT WHAT DOES GOD'S WORD SAY**??
Deuteronomy 12:32: The Lord said, "See that you do all I command you, do not **ADD** to it or **TAKE AWAY** from it!!"
Deuteronomy 18:17-19: The Lord said to Moses, "I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among your fellow Israelites, and I will put My words in His mouth. He will tell them **EVERYTHING** I command Him. I Myself will call to account anyone who does not listen to My words that the Prophet speaks in My name!!"
John 14:21-24: Jesus says, "Whoever has My commands and keeps them is the one who loves Me... Anyone who loves Me will obey My teaching, My Father will love them, and We will come to them and make Our home with them.. Anyone who does not love Me will not obey My teaching.
Luke 6:46-49: Jesus says, "As for everyone who comes to Me and hears **MY WORDS** and **PUTS THEM INTO PRACTICE**. I will show you what they are like. They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid foundation on rock. When the flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. But the one who hears **MY WORDS** and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete!"
I John 2:1-6: Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. We know we have come to know Him**IF** we keep His commands. Whoever says, "I know Him," but does not do what He commands is a liar and the truth is not in him. But if anyone obeys His Word love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in Him. Whoever claims to live in Him must live as Jesus did!
Matthew 24:35: Jesus says, Heaven and earth will pass away, but **MY WORDS WILL NEVER PASS AWAY**!"
Matthew 4:4: Jesus says, "Man does not live on bread alone, but on **EVERY WORD FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD**!"
Colossians 1:25: I have become its servant by the commission God gave to me to present to you the **WORD OF GOD IN ALL ITS FULLNESS**!
Timothy 3:15,16: 4:1,2: You have known the **HOLY SCRIPTURES**, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. **ALL SCRIPTURE IS GOD-BREATHED** and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of His appearing and His kingdom, I give you this charge: **PREACH THE WORD**!! {**WHICH IS THE ENTIRE NEW COVENANT AND NEW TESTAMENT**!!}
John 16:12-14 Jesus says, "I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. But when he, the spirit of Truth comes, he will guide you into all the Truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will glorify Me because it is from Me that he will receive what he will make known to you!"
And holy spirit inspired the 8 writers of the 27 books of the New Testament to write everything Jesus commanded him to write!!
THE GREAT COMMISSION: Matthew 28:18-20: Jesus says, “All authority in heaven and on ***EARTH*** has been given to **ME** {Not some RC Pope}. Therefore go and make disciples of *ALL NATIONS*...teaching them to **OBEY EVERYTHING** {The entire NT} I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very *END OF THE AGE*!”
There are many Christian preachers and teachers who believe that the New Testament is like a large **SMORGASBORD** and we can just pick out the things we like . There are even some preachers and teachers who only teach about how to be saved or born again which is only about 5 percent of the New Testament.

**JESUS MADE MANY AMAZING AND TOUGHER CHANGES TO OLD TESTAMENT MARRAIGE AND DIVORCE LAWS** WHICH ARE RARELY TAUGHT IN NEW TESTAMENT CHURCHES**!!
Matthew 5:27,28,31,32 Jesus says, "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery. But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already **COMMITTED ADULTERY** with her in his heart.
This would include pictures or videos of a woman on Television or the Internet or in **PORNOGRAPHY**.
**JESUS MADE MANY AMAZING AND TOUGHER CHANGES TO OLD TESTAMENT MARRAIGE, ADULTERY AND DIVORCE LAWS** WHICH ARE VERY RARELY TAUGHT IN NEW TESTAMENT CHURCHES**!!
Matthew 5:27,28,31,32 Jesus says, "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery. But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already **COMMITTED ADULTERY** with her in his heart.
This would include pictures or videos of a woman on Television or the Internet or in **PORNOGRAPHY**!
I was guilty of the sin of watching Pornography and the Lord disciplined me severely every time I was guilty of this sin.
Hebrews 12:5-11: Do not make light of the Lord's discipline, and do not lose heart when He rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines those He loves, and He chastens **EVERYONE** HE ACCEPTS AS A SON**!!! Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as His children. For what children are not disciplined by their father {FOR THEIR SINS**}? If you are not disciplined--and everyone undergoes discipline--**THEN YOU ARE NOT LEGITIMATE**, not true sons and daughters at all. Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us {FOR OUR SINS!} and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live! They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in His holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it!
And if the Lord doesn't rebuke and severely discipline you after an obvious sin like watching pornography then you can be sure that you are not a **CHILD OF GOD**!!
Revelation 3:19: Jesus says, "Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline, so be earnest and **REPENT**!!" {**OF YOUR SINS**!!}
Matthew 19::3-9: Some Pharisees came to Jesus to test Him. They asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?" "Haven't you read," Jesus replied, "That at the beginning the Creator made them male and female' and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife and the two will become one flesh.' So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therfore what God has joined together, let no one separate." Why then the Pharisees asked, did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?" Jesus replied, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because **YOUR HEARTS WERE HARD**, but it was not this way from the beginning. But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery!"
I the Old Testament you could divorce your wife for almost any reason by just giving her a certificate of divorce as per Deuteronomy 24:1,3. Actually it is almost impossible in the New Testament to divorce your wife if she is a believer, since Jesus also said in Matthew 18:22 that you should forgive your brother or wife not 7 times but 77 times which can also be treanslated 7 times 70 times!!
And according to I Corinthians 7:12-15 you can only divorce an unbelieving wife if she leaves you even though you have been a good husband.
I Corinthians 7:12,13,15: If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, **HE MUST NOT DIVORCE HER**. And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, **SHE MUST NOT DIVORCE HIM**!... But if an unbeliever leaves, let it be so. The brother or the sister is not bound in such circumstances. God has called us to live in peace
If you divorced an unbelieving wife you should not remarry her since God's Word commands that you only marry a believing wife. If you sinned by divorcing a believing wife you should desparately try to remarry her since and you are sinning if you marry any other believing wife!
In the Old Testament King David had 8 wives and concubines and Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines??? But in the New Testament you can have only **ONE WIFE**!! and no **CONCUBINES** As per I Corinthians 7:2; ! Timothy 3:2,12 and Titus 1:6.

**IS IT A SIN TO BE A GLUTTON**??
Definition of **GLUTTONY**: Excessive eating or drinking! Proverbs 28:7: A discerning son heeds instruction, but a companion of **GLUTTONS** disgraces his father!
Deuteronomy 21:20: They shall say to the elders, "This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a **GLUTTON** and a drunkard."
Proverbs 23:19-21: Listen my son, and be wise, and set you heart on the right path. Do not join those who drink to much wine or gorge themselves on meat, for drunkards and **GLUTTONS** become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags!
Proverbs 23:2: Put a knife to your throat if you are given to **GLUTTONY**. Do not crave its delicacies, for that **FOOD IS **DECEPTIVE**!

Parrot,
Are you sore because I showed you from God's Word an error in your doctrine? And I commented on it !! You say women should not comment in biblical discussion forums..
Wow! so terrible. The truth will set you free.
Quote:
Parrot
Consider this chapter..tell me what it says ?
Acts 11
11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the FOUR CORNERS, and let down to the earth: (HMM..where have I heard four corners before? oh yeah! HE will gather his elect from the four corners. See verse at end.)
12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have NEVER eaten any thing that is common or UNCLEAN.
15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
24 And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and he had called together his kinsmen and near friends.
25 And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.
26 But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.
27 And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.
28 And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but GOD HATH SHEWED ME that I should NOT CALL any MAN common or UNCLEAN.
Isaiah 11:12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the FOUR CORNERS of the earth.
Matthew 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Ezekiel 7:2 Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord God unto the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land.
Revelation 7:1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree

Richard's male chauvinist statement! Lol!
"Christian Forums? I personally believe that women can quote God' Word without comment"
Notice he has no Scripture to even remotely back up his "personal belief" and the truth is THAT IS ALL IT IS in his mind of his divine instructions! Lol!

Thanks Teddy,
It's nice to share and discuss. If I am wrong about anything , I can admit it , unlike Richard the Parrot who has too much pride. Better watch that Richard!! That is the sin that led to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. They were full of bread. They didn't need God. They didn't thank him. They had pride and that pride lead to sodomy and all manner of other sins.
Ezekiel 16:49
“Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.”
50 And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.

KJVonly: I understand that Acts 11 has a two fold message but do not forget all the other Scripture in the NT making all foods clean!!
Colossians 2:16,17: Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you **EAT** or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a **SABBATH DAY**. These are a *SHADOW* of the things that were to come, the reality, however, is found in Christ!!!
Mark 7:18-23: Jesus says, "Don't you see that nothing that enters a man from the outside can make him unclean? For it doesn't go into his heart but into his stomach, and then out of his body!" By saying this Jesus declared **ALL FOODS CLEAN**!! He went on "What comes out of a man is what makes him unclean. For from within , out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these evils come from inside and make a man unclean!"
I Timothy 4:1-5: The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through **HYPOCRITICAL LIARS**, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. They forbid people to marry and order them **TO ABSTAIN FROM CERTAIN FOODS**, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For everything God created is good, and **NOTHING IS TO BE REJECTED** if it is received with thanksgiving, because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer!!
I Corinthians 10:25: Eat **ANYTHING** sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience, for, "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it!"
Lobster Tail, Shrimp and Ham are now yum yum yummy and are so good for your tummy!!
Actually TNT you have apparently forgotten that the forbidding to eat certain animals birds and fish was strictly in the OT Covenant for Jews. According to Noah's Covenant and Adam's Covenant God allowed people to eat everything with the breath of life in it!!!!!
God's First Covenant with Adam:
Genesis 1:29,30: Then God said, "give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it They will be yours for food. And to **ALL THE BEASTS OF THE EARTH** and **ALL** the birds of the air and **ALL** the creatures that move on the ground--**EVERYTHING** that has the breath of life in it for food!"
God's Second Covenant with Noah:
Genesis 9:1-3: Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth. The fear and dread of you will fall upon all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air, upon every creature that moves along the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea, they are given to your hands. **EVERYTHING** that lives and moves will be **FOOD FOR YOU**!!
Galatians 3:23-25: "Before faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. Now that faith has come, *WE* ARE NO LONGER UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE LAW!!" {Zech disagrees with these inspired words of God!! since he believe we are still under the supervision of OT Law!}
I Corinthians 9:20,21: Paul said, "To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law though **I MYSELF AM NOT UNDER THE LAW**, so as to win those under the law. To those not having the law I became like one not having the law though I am not free from God's law but **AM UNDER CHRIST'S LAW!!"

Richard's (P7744) blatant removal of words in the Bible!
Quote of Parrot7744 - NIV Genesis 1:29,30: Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it They will be yours for food. And to **ALL THE BEASTS OF THE EARTH** and **ALL** the birds of the air and **ALL** the creatures that move on the ground--**EVERYTHING** that has the breath of life in it for food!"
There is a **SERIOUS** error in Richard's (P7744) blatant misinterpretation of the real meaning of Scripture he posts! He leaves **OUT** part of verse 30 above in his very own coveted NIV!!! Friends this is proof positive Richard leaves out the true meaning and context of what Moses wrote! Read below
NIV **ACTUALLY** says - 29. "Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. **THEY WILL BE YOURS FOR FOOD.**"
**30.** "And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—**I GIVE EVERY GREEN PLANT FOR FOOD.** And it was so."
Genesis 1:29,30 (KJV)
29. "And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; **TO YOU IT SHALL BE FOR MEAT.**"to you it shall be for meat.
30. "And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, **I HAVE GIVEN EVERY GREEN HERB FOR MEAT:** and it was so."
Friends! Richard's (P7744) is NOW guilty of taking away words from the Bible and you can see two translations agree with each other above! Both the KJV andNIV agree and if you go online you will see all the others that agree that both green plants for food were originally made for mankind and animals to eat. Both vegetarions! It was not until living on the ark and after leaving the ark was mankind given permission to eat dead CLEAN animals.
You see above by Richard (P7744) leaving out this part of verses 30 "**I HAVE GIVEN EVERY GREEN HERB FOR MEAT:**" changes the whole meaning because without this part Richard wants us to believe all creatures that move, **EVERYTHING** that breaths, that has life in it, is for food!!! Did you catch what he did, he changed the meaning from animals only eat green plants to now we can eat **EVERYTHING** that moves for food!
Richard's (P7744) writes - 30. **ALL** the creatures that move on the ground--**EVERYTHING** that has the breath of life in it for food!"
NIV **ACTUAL** bible verse 30. "all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—**I GIVE EVERY GREEN PLANT FOR FOOD.** And it was so."
Wow! He even leaves off "And it was so." because what Richard did is NOT SO in truth!!! Richard (P7744) is now guilty of removing parts of the Bible, and its TRUE meaning and correct doctrine. He has forfeited his eternal life to do so, has his name removed from the book of life!
Read what the Bible says below!
Revelation 22:19 (KJV) 19. "And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book."

Yes, "and it was so" is very important as it established his dietary boundaries at that time.
Richard is always quoting verses reminding us to not add or take away but that is what he is guilty of!
Richard you need to repent of this serious offense!
You redefine God!
That is what satan did. He questioned God's Word and Eve was deceived. That is what you are doing here. Deceiving!

KJVonly and Teddyhugger: You both disagree with Mark 7:18-23 where **JESUS MADE ALL FOODS CLEAN** and Jesus commanded us to make disciples of all nations teaching them to **OBEY EVERYTHING I HAVE COMMANDED** in Matthew 28:18-20!! And so you both disagree with these commands of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ. No matter which translation you use Genesis 1:30 absolutely states that all the birds, animals, fish and green plants are all food for you.

Richard's (P7744) does it AGAIN, takes words from the Bible!!!???
Quote - "No matter which translation you use Genesis 1:30 absolutely states that all the birds, animals, fish and green plants are all food for you." end quote.
We are just talking about Gen 1:30 for now and will get to the other verses next. Lets try this AGAIN! Read what the animals eat to that of what humans eat! Read!
NIV verse 30 reads - "all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—**I GIVE EVERY GREEN PLANT FOR FOOD.** And it was so."
The verse is clear! In the beginning of CREATION, all CREATURES that moved, "everything that has the breath of life in it" eats only GREEN PLANTS for their food Richard! Can you read????
Look at the same context for humans in verse 29. NIV "Then God said, I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. **THEY WILL BE YOURS FOR FOOD.**"
This verse is clear also! In the beginning of CREATION, all HUMANS that lived, ate seed bearing plants, every tree and the fruit of a tree with seed in it. only GREEN PLANTS AND SEEDS for FOOD were ate by mankind!
This was all BEFORE the flood! Pay attention!
Richard its obvious the Bible is ONLY talking about PLANT FOOD for creatures and humans to eat. There was ONLY vegetarians then! No animals were ate by humans nor did animals eat other animals then! Wow! Have you lost your ability to read and reason???
