| theprof00 said: Well, for someone who doesn't go to church, you are certainly well versed. Not that I agree. I think you're picking and choosing some of these specific "prophets we're allowed ot listen to", but I'm not going to make a big deal of it. You're allowed to think however you'd like to think. I just think it's too complicated. All one needs is the ten commandments, imo. |
Personally, I like how Christ narrowed it down to:
Matthew 19:1 -
"17-21 [...] but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come and follow me."
The basics, if actually adhered to, would make for wonderful disciples. The last part kind of prevents wealthy business men and politicians (the same ones initially discussed) from actually being Christians ironically.
