Would you, or not, consider saying this prayer with me?

Your comment in Post #117 indicates that you are mistaken about the rules that constitute the Ten Commandments. If you follow the actual Ten Commandments you would redeem the firstborn of your donkey with a lamb or else you would have to break its neck. And if you do any kind of labor (yard work, cooking, washing the car, tying your shoe laces, pumping gas, flying an airplane, etc.) you will have broken the Fifth Commandment and should be stoned to death.

 

Well, that's downright silly. All of those prophets and wise men flapped their jaws for no good reason and told their listeners a bunch of BS. Jesus just said that they didn't have a clue as to what they had been talking about. So everything that they prophesized about was wrong and not one of them was wise. Therefore all of the prophets and wise men before Jesus were worthless. Toss Moses, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Isaiah, Solomon, and all of the others into the trash can. They didn't have a clue. And that goes for the wise men who visited Jesus when he was a baby. They shoud have stayed home.

1- Many of the pre-Jesus prophets took serious hassle from the Establishment and were imprisoned or killed, so they weren't in it for the fun of it!
2- Jesus backed them up and often quoted them to show their prophecies held water..

One of the last prophets before Jesus was his young cousin John the baptist, a world-rejecter living rough in the middle of nowhere eating wild food and dressed in near-rags, sometimes going in town to yell insults at the snooty priests and corrupt rulers. Jesus's verdict on him? -
"John is the greatest man ever to be born" (Matt 11:11)

Below- John in action against Herod and his floozy; they later had him beheaded-

 

John the Baptist was supposed to have been Jesus' cousin but he didn't know him from dirt.

 

For goodness sake, don't you know what the actual Ten Commandments are?

Here's a visual explanation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkCJ8rb8Grw

 

Jesus met John and they got on fine, dunno if they went out bowling together or to drive-ins or chasing girls..

It's just irritating to read nonsense written by people who don't know the ethnocentric Middle Eastern Jewish and Arabian religious fairy tales.
