9And He also told this parable to some people who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and viewed others with contempt: 10“Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11“The Pharisee stood and was praying this to himself: ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other people: swindlers, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. 12‘I fast twice a week; I pay tithes of all that I get.’ 13“But the tax collector, standing some distance away, was even unwilling to lift up his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, the sinner!’ 14“I tell you, this man went to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Adam, and hugs, which of these two men would you say best describes yourself.
The reason i might not get an answer is that, Adam is actually Richard/ prophetic 7744.
I believe Adam is a sock-puppet.
All one has to do is to remember how Richard attacked believers, calling them names, accusing them of being from different religions, never addressing them as believers, posting walls of out from context scriptures.
Both also never have any type of conversation, and both believe they are perfect, never needing to admit sin, and never wanting to accept any type of correction.
After Richard was deleted, about a week later Adam appears, and trolls people the same as Richard.
There is a saying, The voice has changed, but the breath is still the same.
If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and flies like a duck, then it is a duck.
If it posts walls of out from context scripture, refuses to acknowledge believers in Yashua, calls them demons, and wants everyone to believe what they believe, then it is Richard/prophetic 7744
First answer towards the mockers, is how they decide for themselves, how others are before you can see their trickery or even answer. The parable quiznos is fooling about with, is about people doing the same way as quiznos and justhmockingaround, to PREJUDGE...
Proverbs 18:13 He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him...........................................
"You won't get an actual answer. But I commend you for your efforts."
"Hanging,
The reason i might not get an answer is that, Adam is actually Richard/ prophetic 7744."
Here quiznos reveals again how he and justmockingaround cant understand anything at all....
"Adam, and hugs, which of these two men would you say best describes yourself."
Now back to the parable.
Quiznos again being hypocritical, assumes he can include part of this chapter and not recognize it is directly connected and related after also, and needed to see it all much better.
Christ this time, is correcting the believers in God, who manage to keep Gods law He gave to them, but who still lack one thing.
So the man of this parables example, did better than other men, managed to not do extortion, to act more just, to not do adultery. Fasting and giving tithes.
The publican (a parable), had the Kingdom of Heaven example in him, ( as no man can humble themselves unless given the Holy Spirit to be meek and lowly with the Spirit of Christ in us after Christ was risen) God gives His mercy, this is the grace of Christ come to earth with His judgment..
Luke 18:9 And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
Now here is the wisdom of God, our eyes opened up simply, and the part quiznosdavid and justmockingaround cant see anyway.
Although the Pharisee in the example above did very well, that is not the Kingdom of Heaven, it has to exceed the righteousness of the Pharisees..
Matthew 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Jesus then after the parable of the Pharisee doing all well but humility. Explains how we have to humbly receive the Kingdom of Heaven as a little child, or we cannot enter into it.
Next A ruler asked Jesus how to inherit that eternal life. Exactly as the parable just above Jesus' answer here to the young ruler, Jesus highlights the very same failing and requirement, how the Jewish man had done all the commandments to not do adultery, to not steal, to not bear false witness, to honour mother and father, but that still is not the Kingdom of Heaven, which is to humble ourselves as that little child and to leave all behind to learn of the Kingdom of Heaven...
Luke 18:17 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
19 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.
20 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.
21 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.
22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
23 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.
Then remembering how ALL THE APOSTLES DID LEAVE ALL BEHIND, as example to us to follow, then this is the TRUE QUESTION, AND COMPLETE NOT PARTIAL IN THE DARKNESS REASONING OF THESE PEOPLES MINDS.
Have we left all behind, including not working ill to anyone, do we go onto perfection?
Luke 18:28 Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.
29 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,
30 Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.
Colossians 3:5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
Colossians 3:9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
Colossians 3:12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
