Re: The Well or: How I Learned to Stop Caring and Become Big Nothing
[ QUOTE ]
Goodness. The guy wants to throw a Jewish guy some credit for a change. And you bring in Jesus's words even though even Not Ready would agree he wasn't the first to say them. [/ QUOTE ] I brought in the Jewish guy I knew about who said the words. They certainly weren't the words of the Jewish guy NotReady was quoting. PairTheBoard

even Not Ready would agree he wasn't the first to say them. [/ QUOTE ] He also said this: Matthew 12: 42"The Queen of the South will rise up with this generation at the judgment and will condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, something greater than Solomon is here. Don't feel too bad, though. In case you hadn't noticed, Jesus is a Jew.

[/ QUOTE ] The funny thing is that he doesn't even realize that the following two statements are equivalent. [ QUOTE ] 13The conclusion, when all has been heard, is: fear God and keep His commandments, because this applies to every person. [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Jesus had a better solution. God is Love. Love God with all that is within you. And Love others as yourself. [/ QUOTE ]

God is Jewish? Now that is a quaint idea. [/ QUOTE ] The Bible is a quaint book: Matthew 1 The Genealogy of Jesus the Messiah 1The record of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, (A)the son of David, (B)the son of Abraham: 2Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of [a]Judah and his brothers. 3Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, (C)Perez was the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram. 4Ram was the father of Amminadab, Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon. 5Salmon was the father of Boaz by Rahab, Boaz was the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse. 6Jesse was the father of David the king. David (D)was the father of Solomon by Bathsheba who had been the wife of Uriah. 7Solomon (E)was the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asa. 8Asa was the father of Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah. 9Uzziah was the father of Jotham, Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah. 10Hezekiah was the father of Manasseh, Manasseh the father of Amon, and Amon the (F)father of Josiah. 11Josiah became the father of Jeconiah and his brothers, at the time of the (G)deportation to Babylon. 12After the (H)deportation to Babylon: Jeconiah became the father of Shealtiel, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel. 13Zerubbabel was the father of Abihud, Abihud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor. 14Azor was the father of Zadok, Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud. 15Eliud was the father of Eleazar, Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob. 16Jacob was the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, by whom Jesus was born, (I)who is called the Messiah. 17So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; from David to the (J)deportation to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the (K)deportation to Babylon to the Messiah, fourteen generations

But I don't think it's immediately apparent. To Fear someone is not normally understood as having the same relationship with them as Loving them. PairTheBoard
