Hi and greetings to all. I have been reading the forums for a few weeks now and decided to register and ask a few questions.
About me. I was raised Baptist.
I have read the Bible my whole life and still hold onto it as the word of God to this day.But have many questions.
I noticed that if you do not accept Jesus as God then you could be added to a heretic list?I know this has been discussed thoroughly and I do accept him as my Lord and Savior,but I cannot dismiss when John heard the words of," this is my son in whom I am well pleased.Not this is me.But anyhow there are plenty of scriptures going the other way as well.
I have become a student of many religions, if for no other means then to as know thine enemy as thine self.But I have found much truth in many.
ALSO I saw a new member that is banned now , he said in his greeting, I am Jesus and God and so on. Witch on the surface is outright blasphemy , but in psalm 82 we are told we are Gods,Elohim, And when Jesus said to the Pharisees is it not written in your law that ye are god, El Elohim. I would deff like to hear some more on this subject if anyone has done any study into it.
And one last opening question, After I decided to really read the bible for myself I found I had a very fundamental view of things,and got caught up in the Law,mainly the Sabbath.I know hold the view of keeping 9 commandments, the 7 gave to Noah for all gentiles and the 2 that Jesus gave concerning love of God and neighbor. Also reading Gen 2 I remember the Sabbath. I do not follow the Hebrew law of the Sabbath but just remembrance that God made it holy on the 7th day.
I do not wish to be judged by the law but I also moreso do not wish to offend God anymore then I allready have in my life.
Any responses or answers or other threads that answer my questions if you could steer me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance and may Godbless us all
