For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.

Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully, understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike their fathers and mothers, for murderers, the sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine, in accordance with the gospel of the glory of the blessed God with which I have been entrusted.
Moonlight, I see you disagree with Jesus. Jesus wasn’t afraid to speak about negative things.
As for you misinformed misinterpretation of “Jesus never changing”, think about it, if Jesus never changes, he would STILL be a babe in a manger or he would STILL be hanging on a cross‼️‼️‼️
Your interpretation of scripture is WOEFULLY delusional‼️‼️‼️
Have that Personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Men who are Lead by the Holy Spirit know What it means.
Praise Jesus!!

Let brotherly love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body. Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous. Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” ...

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted. In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons? “My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor be weary when reproved by him. ...

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, whom we proclaimed among you, Silvanus and Timothy and I, was not Yes and No, but in him it is always Yes.
That’s right, the Pharisees pretended to uphold scripture and follow the teachings of Moses. That’s what they wanted people to think anyway
But Jesus exposed their hypocrisy. He flat out told them that they did not follow Moses, instead, they were ignoring the teachings of God and following their 👉👉own man made traditions‼️‼️👈👈
Mark7:6Jesus answered them, “Isaiah prophesied correctly about you hypocrites, as it is written:
‘These people honor Me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from Me.
7They worship Me in vain;
they teach as doctrine the 👉👉precepts of men.’👈👈
8You have 👉👉disregarded the commandment of God to keep the tradition of men.👈👈
9He went on to say,👉👉 “You neatly set aside the command of God to maintaine your own tradition👈👈. 10For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’f and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’g 11👉But you say👈👈 that if a man says to his father or mother, ‘Whatever you would have received from me is Corban’ (that is, a gift devoted to God), 12he is no longer permitted to do anything for his father or mother. 13👉👉👉Thus you nullify the word of God by the tradition you have handed down. And you do so in many such matters.”👈👈👈
