Isaiah 9:6,7: For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And He will be called Mighty God and **PRINCE OF PEACE**. Of the greatness of His government and **PEACE** THERE WILL BE NO END**!
Philippians 3:19,20: Their mind is on earthly things . But **OUR CITIZENSHIP IS IN HEAVEN**. And we eagerly wait a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ!!
**EVERY OATH** that you swear to is **CONDEMNED* and is **FROM THE EVIL ONE** in the New Testament era!!
When you join the military and become a professional killer you must make a **VOW** that you will obey all the commands of your commanding officer. And so if He commands you to drop an Atomic Bomb that will kill about 100,000 civilians including about 25,000 innocent children you must obey this command!!!
The following **OATH** is given by a officer in the US army to be repeated by all army recruits while they raise their right hand:
I, _____, do solemnly *SWEAR* that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. **SO HELP ME GOD**."
What is the OT command concerning *VOWS* and *OATHS*?? Numbers 30:2: Moses said, "This is what the Lord commands: When a man makes a *VOW* to the Lord or takes an *OATH* to obligate himself by a pledge, he must not break his word but must do everything he said!"
What are the NT commands concerning making *VOWS* and **OATHS*??
James 5:12: "ABOVE ALL, my brothers, do not swear--not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. Let your "Yes" be yes, and your "No," no, or **YOU WILL BE CONDEMNED**!"
Matthew 5:33-37: Jesus says, "You have heard that it was said to your people long ago {Numbers 30:2 above}, 'Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord.' BUT I tell you, Do not swear at all....Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No, 'No'; anything beyond this comes **FROM THE EVIL ONE**!!"
And so **EVERY OATH** that you swear to is **CONDEMNED* and is **FROM THE EVIL ONE** in the New Testament era!!
Philippians 3:19,20: Their mind is on earthly things . But **OUR CITIZENSHIP IS IN HEAVEN**. And we eagerly wait a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who by the power that enables Him to bring everything under His control, will transform our lowly bodies that will be like His glorious body!
Now I ask you, how can any true Christian take such an **OATH** in good conscience? How can the follower of Christ pledge faith to a manmade constitution that might require him to compromise his fidelity to the commands of the Gospel? How can a **CITIZEN IN HEAVEN** (Philippians 3:20 above) pledge allegiance to a secular government that requires him to defend it? How can a Christian swear to obey the orders of any president or any officer that commands us? How can a Christian swear to place faith in any organization, institution, or document other than Christ, and His Word?
I Corinthians 4:6: Do not go beyond that which is written!!
Matthew 28:18-20: ALL authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations... Teaching them to **OBEY EVERYTHING** I have commended you!" {Which would include Matthew 5:33-37 above!!}
Notice that there is no “conscience clause” in the soldier’s oath. In taking the oath, the soldier willingly relinquishes his choice as to which orders he will obey. If any of our commanders gives an order, the soldier has pledged to obey it – even if that order violates his Christian conscience like killing your enemies which is forbidden in God's Word or a strike that may also kill innocent civilians and children, the Christian soldier has pledged to carry out that order.
Of course, the Christian soldier is always free to renege on his oath. He can always choose to disobey those orders he deems to be unjust or unchristian, and he will have to suffer the very severe consequences. But why would any Christian willingly take such a pledge to begin with, knowing that in doing so he is promising to obey a secular government that condones immorality?
To swear unconditional allegiance and obedience to anything other than Christ, His word, and His Church is a very dangerous thing. Our Lord was very clear that we cannot serve two masters: Matthew 6:24: Jesus says, “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other.” A born again Christian must never take an oath to defend a manmade constitution and he will never swear allegiance to a government that defends the slaughter of innocents. Like an order by President Truman to drop two atomic bombs that will both kill over 100,000 innocent civilians and over 25,000 innocent children!! {Jesus commands many times **NEVER** to hurt the little children!!}
Colossians 3:12-15: As God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on **LOVE**, which binds them all together in perfect unity! Let the **PEACE OF CHRIST** rule in your hearts. since of members of one body, you were **CALLED TO PEACE**!
Isaiah 9:6,7: For unto us a Child is born, to us a Son is given, and the government will be on His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, and **PRINCE OF PEACE**. Of the greatness of His government and **PEACE** there will be no end!!
Matthew 28:18-20: Jesus says, All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me! Therefore go and make disciples of all nations.... Teaching them to **OBEY EVERYTHING** {Including Matthew 5:33-37 above} I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age!"
**JESUS SAYS, "ALL WHO DRAW THE SWORD WILL DIE BY THE SWORD** **TAKE THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT WHICH IS THE WORD OF GOD** **THE WORD OF GOD IS LIVING AND ACTIVE SHARPER THAN ANY DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD** Matthew 26:52--Ephesians 6:17--Hebrews 4:12

Ridiculous quotes by littlest David:
"God NEVER says anywhere in the OT to “hate and**KILL** your enemies”,
"The Old Testament never teaches to hate and **KILL** our enemies any more than the New Testament does."
Actually you can easily find over 70 verses in the Old Testament to **HATE AND KILL YOUR ENEMIES**. Whereas you can find over 40 verses which commands us to love and pray and feed our enemies and **YOU CAN NOT EVEN FIND ONE VERSE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT WHICH COMMANDS US TO KILL OUR ENEMIES** Instead of killing your enemies Jesus teaches us to love and pray for enemies that they may be saved and go to heaven!!!
And so the Old Testament teaches us to hate and kill your enemies **OVER 70 TIMES**. Whereas the New Testament teaches us to hate and kill your enemies **ZERO TIMES**
AND SO LITTLE DAVID HAS LIED OVER 70 TIMES**
In the OT God ordered Israel to **KILLTHEIR ENEMIES** many times and God helped them do it. However in the NT Jesus commands in Luke 6:27-29: "Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you. If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also."
Matthew 5:43,44: Jesus says, "You have heard that is was said, {in the OT} 'Love your neighbor and **HATE YOUR ENEMY**.' But I tell you. love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven!!"
Whereas in the OT in Leviticus 26:7,8: God said to Israel, "You will **PURSUE YOUR ENEMIES**, and they will fall by the **SWORD** before you. Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and **YOUR ENEMIES WILL FALL BY THE SWORD** before you!"
Numbers 25:16,17" The Lord said to Moses, "Treat the Midianites as **ENEMIES AND KILL THEM*"!"
Numbers 32:20,21: Moses said to them, "if you will do this--if you will arm yourselves before the Lord for battle and if all of you who are armed cross over the Jordan before the Lord until He has **DRIVEN OUT HIS ENEMIES** out before Him!!"
Deuteronomy 6:18,19: Do what is right and good in the Lord's sight, that it may go well with you and you may go in and take over the good land the Lord has promised on oath to your ancestors, **THRUSTING OUT ALL YOUR ENEMIES BEFORE YOU**, as the Lord said!
Deuteronomy 23:14: For the Lord your God moves about in your camp to protect you and to deliver your **ENEMIES**to you!
Deuteronomy 28:7 The Lord will grant that your **ENEMIES** who go up against you will be defeated before you!
Deuteronomy 30:7: The Lord your God will put all these **CURSES ON YOUR ENEMIES**who hate and persecute you!
Another OT command in Exodus 21:23-25 "If there is serious injury, you are to take life for life, **EYE FOR EYE, TOOTH FOR TOOTH**, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise."
This was also changed by these NT commands by Jesus:
Matthew 5:38,39: Jesus commands, "You have heard that it was said {In Exodus 21:23-25 above}, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek turn to him the other also!"
Luke 6:27-29: Jesus commands, "LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you. do not demand it back!"
Luke 6:27-30: Jesus says, "Love your enemies, do good to those that hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. Give to everyone who asks you, and if someone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back!"
Luke 6:33-36: Love your enemies, do good to them and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your **REWARD** will be great and you will be children of the Most High because He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as you Father is merciful!"
Matthew 18:21,22: Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister {or wife} who sins against me? Up to 7 times?" Jesus answered, "I tell you not 7 times but 77 times!" {Also can be translated 70 times 7 times!}
I Peter 3:9: Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called that you may **INHERIT A BLESSING**!
Matthew 5:9: Jesus the **PRINCE OF PEACE** says, "Blessed are the **PEACEMAKERS**, for they will be called the **CHILDREN OF GOD**!"
2 Corinthians 10:3-5: For though we live in the world, **WE DO NOT MAKE WAR AS THE WORLD DOES**! The weapons we fight with **ARE NOT THE WEAPONS OF THE WORLD**. On the contrary, they have **DIVINE POWER** to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God!
Ephesians 6:17: Take the helmet of salvation and the **SWORD** OF THE SPIRIT** which is the **WORD OF GOD**!!
**THE ONLY SWORD BORN AGAIN CHRISTIANS MAY USE IS THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT WHICH IS THE **WORD OF GOD**!!
2 Corinthians 10:3,4: "For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are *NOT* the weapons of the world."
Matthew 26:52: "All who draw the **SWORD** will die by the **SWORD**!"
**HOW DO WE FIGHT THE **GOSPEL OF PEACE**??
Ephesians 6:14-17: Stand firm then, with belt of Truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the **GOSPEL OF PEACE**. in addition to all this, take up the shield of Faith, with which you can extinguish all the arrows of the Evil One. Take the helmet of Salvation and the **SWORD OF THE SPIRIT**, which is the **WORD OF GOD**!!
Hebrews 4:12: For the Word of God is alive and active, **SHARPER THAN ANY DOUL|BLE-EDGED SWORD, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit and it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart!!
I Peter 2:20-23: If you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God. To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, THAT YOU SHOULD FOLLOW IN HIS STEPSt .... When they hurled their insults at Him, He did not retaliate; when He suffered, He made no threats. Instead He entrusted Himself to Him who judges Justly!
I Peter 3:8,9,11: Finally, all of you, be like minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble. **DO NOT REPAY EVIL FOR EVIL** or insult with insult. On the contrary, **REPAY EVIL WITH BLESSING**, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. For... "They must turn from evil and do good; they **MUST SEEK PEACE AND PURSUE IT**!"
Romans 14:17-19: For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, **PEACE** and joy in the Holy Spirit, because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God an receives human approval. Let us therefore make every effort to do **WHAT LEADS TO PEACE**!
Hebrews 12:14 Make every effort **TO LIVE IN PEACE WITH EVERYONE**!
Matthew 5:43-45: Jesus says, "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' {As per the OT}. But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven!"
Matthew 6:14,15: Jesus says, "If you forgive other people who sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, you Father will not forgive your sins!"
John 18:36: Jesus says, "My Kingdom is not of this world. If it were, My servants would fight to prevent My arrest. But now My Kingdom is from another place!"
Luke 23:33,34: When they came to the place of the Skull, they crucified Him there... Jesus said, "Father forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing!"
Romans 12:19-21: Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord. On the contrary: If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty give him something to drink. In doing this you will heap burning coals on his head. Do not be overcome by evil, but **OVERCOME EVIL WITH GOOD**!
I Peter 4:8-10: Above all, **LOVE** each other deeply, because **LOVE** covers over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms!
Colossians 3:12-15: As God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

Could someone please help Pinocchio 7744 as soon as possible!!! Alias prophetic 7744, (does 7744 represent his Pinocchio awards?)
Anyway Prophetic doesn’t know how to interpret simple passages of scripture.
That’s a scary thought because:
What will prophetic 7744 do when he finally reads the passage where Jesus says to cut off your hand and gouge out your eye!!
I’m afraid when prophetic 7744 reads that verse he’ll apply his REALLY DANGEROUS method of bible interpretation to that passage and take it completely literally.
Oh my, what will prophetic do when he finally reads where Jesus said to “take up your cross” will prophetic literally crucify himself???
Jesus also says “I have not come to bring peace but a sword...” Will prophetic promptly apply his faulty interpretation to that too????
If Richard is really consistent he MUST take those passages literally!!!!
Oh yeah and Jesus also says you must hate your life and hate your family too
What’s poor Richard gonna do??
Please don’t tell Richard about those bible verses—-for Richards sake!!! Find Richard and feed him ice cream or candy to keep him from reading those verses. If he’s consistent, he’ll read all that and think he’s supposed to do what it says, after all Richard takes everything word for word literal. Well, except when he’s really supposed to!!
Just kidding Richard but you MUST find and apply the most obvious bible interpretation method that is CONSISTENT with itself !! Throw out your hit and miss phony method

LITTLEST DAVID CLAIMS THAT WHEN JESUS SAYS "YOU HAVE HEARD THAT IT WAS SAID." HE IS NOT REFERRING TO AN OLD TESTAMENT COMMANDMENT**???
However, Jesus said six times "YOU HAVE HEARD THAT IT WAS SAID** in Matthew 5:21, 27, 31, 33, 38, 43 and each time Jesus made radical changes or additions to Old Testament Laws. In Matthew 5:21-26 and Matthew 5:27-30 Jesus made radical additions to two of the ten commandments concerning Murder and Adultery. In Matthew 5:31,32 Jesus completely changed OT divorce Laws. In Matthew 5:33-37 Completely eliminated all Old Testament **VOWS** and **OATHS**. In Matthew 5:38-42 completely eliminated all laws of returning evil for evil like eye for eye an tooth for tooth and to offer up the other cheek! In Matthew 5:43-48 we are no longer allowed to hate and kill our enemies which is commanded about 70 times in the Old Testament. Jesus commands us to **LOVE **ALL** YOUR ENEMIES AND PRAY FOR THEM WHO PERSECUTE YOU** And this command is enlarged upon in Luke 6:27-36 and Romans 12:17-21.
Matthew 5:21,22: Jesus says, You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, "You shall not murder." and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment. But I tell you that everyone who is **ANGRY** with his brother will be subject to judgment!!
Matthew 18:21,22: Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister {or wife} who sins against me? Up to 7 times?" Jesus answered, "I tell you not 7 times but 77 times!" {Also can be translated 70 times 7 times!} And since it can also be translated 70 times 7 or 490 times that must be law for us to be safe from sinning!!
Matthew 6:14: Jesus says, "For if you forgive other people when they sin against you your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins!" {And so if we do not forgive everyone 490 times for sinning against us **GOD WILL NOT FORGIVE OUR SINS**!!}
Matthew 5:27,28: 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 looking at lewd pictures of woman and **PORNOGRAPHY** which was not listed as a sin in the Old Testament!!
**AND SO LITTLEST DAVID"S CLAIM THAT WHEN JESUS SAYS: "YOU HAVE HEARD THAT IT WAS SAID," HE IS NOT REFERRING TO AN OLD TESTMENT COMMAND IS COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS!!
Matthew 5:31,32: Jesus says, It has been said, 'Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce,' But I tell youthat anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of **ADULTERY**and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits **ADULTERY**. And since you should fogive your wife 77 or 70 times 7 times you must forgive her sexual immorality also.. I Corinthians 7:12,13: 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 is a womanhas a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her she **MUST NOT DIVORCE HIM**. Unfortunately Christian churches very rarely teach these commands and the divorce rate among Christian churches are almost bad as the average rate of divorce of unbelievers!!
James 5:12: "ABOVE ALL, my brothers, do not swear--not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. Let your "Yes" be yes, and your "No," no, or **YOU WILL BMatthew 5:33-37: Jesus says, "You have heard that it was said to your people long ago {Numbers 30:2}, 'Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord.'

AMEN parrot! I'm so glad you finally realize the "JESUS IS EQUAL TO GOD" in what you state and the verses you quote! Very good, I knew you would catch on that the Messiah is **EQUAL** to Yahuwah the Father. Thanks for finally admitting that! Its obvious with the verses you posted about **WORSHIPPING** the Messiah, that He must also be Yah and **EQUAL** with Him!

In Matthew 5:43-48 we are no longer allowed to hate and kill our enemies which is commanded about 70 times in the Old Testament. Jesus commands us to **LOVE **ALL** YOUR ENEMIES AND PRAY FOR THEM WHO PERSECUTE YOU** And this command is enlarged upon in Luke 6:27-36 and Romans 12:17-21.
Matthew 5:21,22: Jesus says, You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, "You shall not murder." and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment. But I tell you that everyone who is **ANGRY** with his brother will be subject to judgment!!
Matthew 18:21,22: Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister {or wife} who sins against me? Up to 7 times?" Jesus answered, "I tell you not 7 times but 77 times!" {Also can be translated 70 times 7 times!} And since it can also be translated 70 times 7 or 490 times that must be law for us to be safe from sinning!!
Matthew 6:14: Jesus says, "For if you forgive other people when they sin against you your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins!" {And so if we do not forgive everyone 490 times for sinning against us **GOD WILL NOT FORGIVE OUR SINS**!!}
Matthew 5:27,28: 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 looking at lewd pictures of woman and **PORNOGRAPHY** which was not listed as a sin in the Old Testament!!
**AND SO LITTLEST DAVID"S CLAIM THAT WHEN JESUS SAYS: "YOU HAVE HEARD THAT IT WAS SAID," HE IS NOT REFERRING TO AN OLD TESTMENT COMMAND IS COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS!!
Matthew 5:31,32: Jesus says, It has been said, 'Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce,' But I tell youthat anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of **ADULTERY**and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits **ADULTERY**. And since you should fogive your wife 77 or 70 times 7 times you must forgive her sexual immorality also.. I Corinthians 7:12,13: 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 is a womanhas a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her she **MUST NOT DIVORCE HIM**. Unfortunately Christian churches very rarely teach these commands and the divorce rate among Christian churches are almost bad as the average rate of divorce of unbelievers!!

Let your "Yes" be yes, and your "No," no, or **YOU WILL BMatthew 5:33-37: Jesus says, "You have heard that it was said to your people long ago {Numbers 30:2}, 'Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord.' BUT I tell you, Do not swear at all....Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No, 'No'; anything beyond this comes **FROM THE EVIL ONE**!!" E CONDEMNED**

Richard must believe the more often he quotes his out of context remake of God’s word (adding to meanings and taking away from others), he’s can finally convince himself.
I think the reason Richard keeps copy and pasting over and over and ALL OVER ad Infinitum ad nauseam is because he hasn’t yet been able to convince himself that all his false teachings aren’t right.

David writes-
"I think the reason Richard keeps copy and pasting over and over and ALL OVER ad Infinitum ad nauseam is because he hasn’t yet been able to convince himself that all his false teachings aren’t right." end quote.
Now that is a thought David! I think also Richard has severe reasoning and common sense problems.

Example below.
I think by now, everybody knows Richard is not the brightest bulb in the box of lights but perhaps the quote below he states gives additional "light" to just how bright he is?
Richard the non reasoning teacher and wanna be prophet says -
"Matthew 5:27,28: 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 looking at lewd pictures of woman and **PORNOGRAPHY** which was not listed as a sin in the Old Testament!!"
end quote.
Now its probably safe to say that in the Old Testament times and days, they had no mags, videos, internet, nor cell phones to look at and up the porn garbage but Richard has a sharp eye in knowing that these sins where not listed in the Old Testament! Wow!
What would we do without Richards sharp eyed knowledge of OT Scripture???
Golly wally! Then it must not of been a sin in OT times because it is NOT written about!? You have heard that it was said from Richard, the modern day Pharisee! He is very phar about his teachings, don't you i see? We have MUCH to learn from him!
