Mainstream Christians will discuss religion with Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, other denominations…
No problems.
Mainstream Christians will discuss religion with atheists or even Satan worshippers, with no problems.
However, if someone mentions keeping the commandments of Yahweh, the gloves come off.
They get downright mean and hostile.
Reminds me of these:
Mark 13:13
And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end shall be saved.
Matthew 10:22
22 And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.
Luke 21:17
17 And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake.
John 15:18-19
18 “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you.19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
John 15:21
“But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know the One who sent Me.”
Matthew 5:10-12
“Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. “Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. “Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
These are all direct quotes of Yeshua Messiah.
Why is this? Why will a Christian discuss religion with just about anyone, but want to fight with those who follow Torah?
Bring up keeping the commandments of Yahweh, and get ready to be blasted. Get ready to be hated.
Why the hostility?
I simply hear His voice and listen to His voice.
John 10:27
“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.”
They get hostile because Messiah in scripture said this, and I believe it:
John 14:15
“If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.”
John 14:21
“He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me.”
John 15:10
“If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.”
The Jesus they follow “did away with the commandments.”
I follow Yeshua Messiah, who is referred to as Jesus in English bibles, but they are not one and the same.
Yeshua Messiah says to keep the commandments of Yahweh.
Jesus of mainstream church did away with the commandments.
The test of a false prophet in Deuteronomy 13 tells us that “Jesus” of the mainstream body is a false prophet.
Let that sink in…
If this is confusing to you, pray about it.
Pray for those who believe in mainstream doctrine that teaches lawlessness.
We are warned many times in scripture that lawlessness will result in our destruction.
