    Why don't you simply say what you believe the commandments of Jesus are, and show the scripture that supports your view?

    Whenever someone comes on and plays games like this, my impression is that we are dealing with a nut case who thinks he is some kind of prophet. He acts all mystical and tries to speak in parables, etc...

    Being a real Christian is simply believing on Jesus and doing your best to obey God from the scriptures. It is not acting like a "holy man".

    In the 60s and 70s guys like you were a dime a dozen.

    I have already started doing this.
    You can find 3 commandments in
    the very first post and the scriptures.

    It certainly is true! Luke 7:29-30; Psalm 110:1; Ex. 3:14; Jn. 8:57-58; Mt. 1:20-23; Mt. 28:19 are HIS WORD on the very subjects you dispute. Luke 7:29-30 is God's Counsel, thus command which Jesus affirmed. Jesus is Jehovah our Saviour or the Great "I AM' in Exodus 3:14 just as John 8:57-58 declares. That is HIS WORD.

    You simply do not like HIS WORD on these matters and can't respond to it. Thus you have only YOUR WORD against HIS WORD. I will take HIS WORD

    "To the law and to the testimony if they speak not according to THIS WORD, it is because there is no light in them" - Isa. 8:20

    Read carefully my quote from what you said. Then go back and read the full statement of what you actually said.
    The Bible says: "By thy words thou shalt be justified and by thy words thou shalt be condemned."

    Again here is what I said:
    You said that you go to Baptist churches, as you come here, preaching your doctrine.
    "Your doctrine" is not Baptistic in nature. Ask other Baptists. Ask Biblicist if he would assess your doctrine as "Baptist." If it is not Baptist, then what is it? Just because you write it down on a profile doesn't mean it is. You can write anything you want; that doesn't make you a Baptist.

    Jesus said: "You shall know them by their fruit."
    When he said "fruit," he wasn't talking about works, but rather doctrine.
    The context was false teachers. The Bible is our authority. We know a false teacher by the authority of the Bible. I am not saying you are a false teacher, I am giving an example.
    We shall know if your doctrine is Baptist by your posts. I think most people have already made up their mind by now. So if your not a Baptist what are you?
    You bring "your doctrine" to this board and to Baptist churches." Obviously not Baptist doctrine; so what doctrine is it? Enlighten us!

    But those commandments are vague, they do not tell you specifically what you must do, and what you must not do.

    If you are sincere, tells us exactly what we must do, and what we must not do to keep Jesus's commandments.

    Prove that you are sincere, and not trying to play "holy man".

    Scriptures are interpreted various ways by various people. Just quoting them does not mean much, if you do not interpret them by their context. It seems you are IMPLYING by merely quoting them that your interpretation of them is that one must keep the commandments of Christ in order to be saved, or stay saved or ultimately enter into heaven. It seems that is your implication! Is it? Enlighten us by how you interpret these verses. You seem to interpret "abideth" as maintaining a spiritual union with Christ and not merely an experietial union, or metaphorical union, or judicial legal union, or symbolic union, etc. Enlighten us in regard to how you understand it. If you are teaching works for salvation, you must know that is not orthodox Baptist doctrine.

    It is absolutely true, and you are not fooling anyone by not answering here.

    Saying "obey my commandments" does not tell you anything. What commandments are those?

    Give me a list of some of the commandments we are supposed to obey.

    Thou shalt not chew gum?

    Thou shalt not use sunblock?

    Thou shalt not put ketchup on mashed potatoes?

    What??

    Are you God? Should I just believe anything you say? Does not God's Word COMMAND us "BELIEVE NOT every spirit" but "TRY the spirits"? Does not God tell us that if anyone (that is you) speaks not "according to this word it is because there is no light in them"??? Did not Paul tell the Bereans they were "more noble" than the Thessalonican's because the did not believe Paul but first examined what he said by the Word of God?

    These questions you ask demonstrate you have a very shallow understanding of God's Word.

    When are you going to start going through the commandments one-by-one?

    So far you haven't kept your word.

    Here's a good place to start:

    Matthew 19:17 Jesus replied, “‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, 19 honor your father and mother,’ and ‘love your neighbor as yourself.’

    Yeah, this guy is playing games. Don't expect an answer from him, just more of saying nothing at all.

    He's either a troll just jerking folks around, or he thinks he is some kind of mystic. If so, he will never answer anything, they think it is all mystical and spooky to be vague and not actually say anything.

    Like I said, back in the 60s and early 70s these mystical holy men were a dime a dozen. They usually all had one thing in common.

    The ONLY way anyone, can abide in the love of Jesus Christ, is to keep
    the Commandments of Jesus Christ, as Jesus Christ kept
    the commandments of God, His Father.

    True or false?

    The gospel of Jesus Christ is his commandments.

    When you repent you are to do what?

    OBEY HIS COMMANDMENTS

    The Commandments of Jesus Christ

    is

    the way

    the life

    the truth.

    The commandments of Jesus Christ

    is eternal life.

    The Salvation of God.


    Please explain to me how you can follow Jesus
    and not obey His commandments?

    Then please explain to me how you can have faith
    and not obey the Commandments of Jesus Christ?

    The works of faith is obedience to
    the Commandments of Jesus Christ.

    Which is the new covenant.

    True or false?

    That's not what I asked at all. I asked you which commandments we are to keep; if you mean all of them, then say "all of them, from Exodus through Leviticus, from Matthew through John; or, from Genesis through Revelation."

    Or, if you don't mean the ceremonial laws, say so.

    But NOWHERE did I ask which ones I don't have to keep. I asked for you to teach me; and you responded by bearing false witness of me.

    So which commandments have YOU not kept?

    I'm almost flabbergasted. Scarlett O. called out this clown in post #4, and RevMitchell , on page 1, showed how there have been numerous forums spammed by this guy

    I don't know why so many keep engaging with him, and why he hasn't been tossed out on his ear.
