1. love your enemies, you have this part right. i may not agree with my enemies or those who oppose my views but i respect all and care for everyones well being.

2. your use of scripture here is plainly wrong. matthew 19:21-24 is the story of the rich young ruler who followed the commandments but valued his possesions more than anything. Jesus asked him to let go of all his vain earthly possesions because He knew the man valued them more than anything. Jesus wants true service, he wants us not to place more value on anything earthly because they pass away but our relationship with Him will yeild everlasting life.

3. once again you do as so many others and only pick and choose of the scriptures like a buffet line. He wants us to value God more than any other relationship. to God the order of importance goes as so, God, family, church, friends. we need to place our highest priority on our salvation.

4. Jesus did not expect us to take this literally nor was it understood at so. He was explaining the severity of the consequences of sin and said that instead of losing your soul you would be better off to cut off the parts that make you sin. and my friend i am a sinner, and my sin does disgust me.

5. this talks about the power of the Spirit of God inside of us, the Holy Spirit. Jesus meant that His Spirit will be protection for you and that through His power you shall be able to heal the sick in His name. and i have personally seen healings and miracles of such after someone was prayed for and anointed. my family has had a few of these happen.

my friend i fully read this post and responded to it. you have done what countless others, including christians themselves have done and only used a scripture or two to try and prove a point without even reading or understanding the entire passage. you twist these scriptures to your own ideas and theories because you lack faith in the Word of God. you have ears but do not hear and eyes but do not see because your heart is hardened. you will never be able to comprehend the revelation of God or understand what His Word says because you try to see it through mortal eyes. you can never comprehend something that you dont know, you cant think of God in your human boxed in mentality because we as people have restrictions and limitations and our own ideas of what logic is, God is above our comprehension and logic and we will never be able to completely understand the mysteries of God. i sin daily and fall short of what Jesus calls me to be but im not perfect and the bible says i never will be, only through the blood of Christ can i be made perfect and i have accepted that in my life. i am made perfect in Gods' eyes through my acceptance of His sacrifice on the cross. Jesus had no arguements nor were His words contradictory, like i said before, someone without knowledge of God and no faith can never understand His word. " ever learning, and never being able to come to the knowledge of the truth" 2 timothy 3:7.

your ideas of rational thinking have been established by other men of knowledge that have looked for truth and are ever changing their ideals. my knowledge of truth comes from my God and will never change. atheism is the result of rebelious men that didnt want to submit to a higher power.
