Rather it takes a fool who says all manner of nonsense in his heart. Sigh.

How is it erroneous?Further explanation is needed to support your "erroneous" conclusion?
I am sorry if I used the word "blame" on poor Matthew. I should have rightly claimed we have Matthew to thank for the faux prophecies of Jesus' appearance.The Bible is a God inspired Book. So, when you blame Matthew or
any other writer for taking things out of context, you're blaming
God as well. You're a "braver man than I" to create an argument
against He who inspired the Bible!
It is not skepticism that looks to the pure, historical kernel that lies behind every theological truth of the Bible.I'm a simple man. I simply believe that the written word of God (The Bible)
is truly, God inspired. Don't you believe that God knew that skeptics like
A7 would be around through the centuries? God has preserved His Holy
Bible and His Grace Gospel for today and beyond. One either accepts the
Bible as being Holy, inspired of God, truthful, honest, and totally competent,
or not. I heard the Grace Message in 1962 at 12 years old and I still at,
65 believe the Bible and The Grace Message to be the inspired word of the
Holy God. We live in, what Paul calls "The Dispensation of Grace." The
Grace Message is God's, ONLY Message to us today and in the future as
well as Paul's time. Get on board or wait for the judgment!
What is it about "Love your enemies" that has believers like you get their shorts in a wad?It takes a truly, fearless man to go against the, written word of God Himself. A

Peter told the people in Acts 2 to DO something.
I agree with Jerry in this. Because Jesus was who He was He could direct men to believe in Him. Because His word is the Father's He can guarantee eternal life to all on that condition alone. I do not see him promising ANYone that they could inherit eternal life by doing good deeds. He does not say believe in me then go and do good works and afterward you shall have eternal life. Paul said "by the works of the law shall NO ONE be justified" That includes Jews and Gentiles. Very often what he did was use the requirements of the law to show men the impossibility of being "good enough" Once they began to see that He would tell them to believe and surrender themselves to Him. Jesus Himself was the ONLY way TO the Father, THE Truth ABOUT the Father and the Life OF the father. Doing the works of the Law never brought people past the veil to God, nor did it show men the father, nor did keeping the commandments give life. That is why the Son came.
[Given this complexity and diversity what one might mean by calling Jesus the "Son of God" could range from an affirmation of Jesus as God's favored choice as Israel's anointed king, to ideas of a preexistent Divine being who is born of a woman with no human father, and thus "becomes flesh" (Incarnation), with ranges of views in between. But not to dodge the question, my own view is that he was an apocalyptic proclaimer of the Kingdom of God who went to his death with faith in God's promise to redeem Israel and the world.
I think it's heartbreaking that religious Christianity has become so perverted by authoritarianism that it's practitioners actually preach that believing whatever they say is the only way God will accept a person into his presence.If you at this moment are an unbeliever, the only thing stopping you from being saved is your unbelief because even though the righteousness of God (the standard for heaven) is available UNTO YOU by the faith of Jesus Christ, it is not UPON YOU until that moment in your life when you trust the Lord believing Christ died for your sins and that He was buried and rose again the third day (1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV). Trust the Lord for salvation and the righteousness of God will be imputed to you (Romans 3:21-22 KJV, Romans 4:23-25 KJV).
Now, THAT ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^is the "nicest thing you can say to a homo"!

EXACTLY!
The words of the Lord Jesus spoken at John 5:24 to the Jews who lived under the law cannot be misunderstood. Those who believed received eternal life and will not be judged.
However, those in the Neo-MAD camp refuse to believe those words spoken by the Lord and Savior because they put more faith in what some men say about the Scriptures than they do in what the Scriptures actually say.
Their final authority is not the Bible but instead the teachers within the Neo-MAD community.
So sad!
Then why do you refuse to believe what is written here?:
"Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life" (Jn.5:24).
Those words of the Lord Jesus were addressed to the Jews who lived under the law. And He made it plain that "faith" was the sole requirement for them to be saved.
But you do not believe His words because you continue to insist that the Jews who lived under the law could not be saved apart from works.
You pick and choose which verses from the Bible you will believe and which ones you will reject.
I think it's heartbreaking that religious Christianity has become so perverted by authoritarianism that it's practitioners actually preach that believing whatever they say is the only way God will accept a person into his presence.
The more you people talk, the further away from you I want to be.
How is it erroneous?
Aren't the terms both spelled differently?
Are you just following me around to bug me? I have a healthy set of boundaries and do not suffer online fools gladly.
