A few commandments 99% of Christians completely ignore:

1. Pray if you are sick...dont go to the doctor else you have NO FAITH in god: James 5:14

2. Gouge out your eyeballs if they cause you to lust. Every Christian should be eyeless: Matthew 5:29

3. Cut off your hands if you have committed ANY sin with them: Matthew 5:30

4. Never swear an oath...why do Christians get so upset about God being removed from the Pledge of Allegiance if they aren't allowed to take an oath?: Matthew 5:34

5. Dont defend yourself if attacked. When was the last time you seen a Christian turn the other cheek?: Matthew 5:39

6. Give anything you have to anyone who asks: Matthew 5:42

7. Dont pray in public: Matthew 6:6

8. Dont save money...I am guessing retirement accounts like IRAs are super evil: Matthew 6:19

9. Give away ALL your possessions: Luke 14:33

G13, Eliseus, and Glenzig...why are you ignoring the word of God? Is it too inconvenient for you? Shouldnt you be eyeless, handless, dirt poor, and dead from disease? Please send you all your money and possessions to me. I asked and according to Matthew you have to oblige.

Talk about not having reading comprehension.

Tell me how a bible scholar such as yourself would interpret these passages then:

James 5:14- Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.

Matthew 5:29- If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell.

Matthew 5:30- And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell.

Matthew 5:34- But I say to you, Do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God

Matthew 5:39- But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.

Matthew 5:42- Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you.

Matthew 6:6- But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

Matthew 6:19- Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal

Luke 14:33- So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple

Face it, you are a sinner and are not welcome in God's kingdom.

Maybe you should do some honest and thorough research on those scriptures and figure it out. It can't be too hard, even a simpleton like me can understand it.

Matthew and Luke make it very clear. Possessions should be given away and you are not welcome in Heaven if you refuse to do so. Even a child could read those passages and understand them. You ignore the commandments because they are too inconvenient for you. You put more faith in material possessions than you put in the bible as do 98% of Christians.

Leewong, you must read the Bible with the Jehovah approved Bible Vision Glasses ™ . They really do help, as it seems that common words in the bible can have some crazy definitions. They help with verses and chapters too, although even Christians fight tooth and nail over what things mean. I suppose some of them aren't wearing the approved glasses.

He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it. -Titus 1:9

And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth -Timothy 2:24-25

Ignoring more of God's good word.
