Symbolism. You don't light a lamp and stick it under a bowl.
Yet we're One.
Woe to those who shut the door to the kingdom of heaven in peoples faces.
For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let the one who is able to receive this receive it." - Matthew 19-12

If you love only those who love you what credit is it to you? He's not a hypocrite.
You act as if you are free of sin. Jesus told you you should accept it, but YOU think you know better.
No they don't, but He still shows them love, while others condemn them in ignorance.
They believe in themselves not needing to be redeemed, others teach them they're unclean. Do not call unclean what He calls clean.
"Whoever causes one of these little ones who believes in me to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea"
"Whatever you do for the least of these you do for me".
"Whatever you did not do for the least of these you did not do for me".
Those who teach condemnation are themselves condemned. Ever seeing, but never perceiving.
Anon I do understand very well, I'm not arguing with that. The thing is you think it's ONLY for those who do that, that isn't so. Those who are condemned believe they're unclean, or teach others they're unclean. Do not call unclean what He calls clean. Be careful, the teachings of Jesus and those who came in His name are not the same.
Except Jesus said the dead were asleep, not dead.
In Revelation, those who die in the Lord will rest FROM NOW ON. What happened before that?
Why did Jesus say they testify against themselves when they say their ancestors killed the prophets?
Why did Jesus say John is Elijah, but John didn't know he was Elijah?
TRULY, to see the kingdom of God you must be born again.
What did Jesus mean when He said the apostle He loved would remain until he returned. The rumor spread it meant he wouldn't die but that's not what Jesus said.
Our sins are forgiven, why keep asking? Why keep asking to clean what He says is clean?
Why did God say when His son does wrong, he will be punished by human hands?
Why did Jesus say He desires mercy, not sacrifice?
This is My command to you: Love one another. If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me first. If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.

Jesus gave His life.
The one who handed Him over committed the greater sin.
Why do you call Jesus a liar? All authority was His. No one took His life, HE GAVE IT.
He told Judas to do it quickly. When Peter said it must not happen, Jesus rebuked Peter for not having in mind the concerns of God but human concerns.
>i do not reject Jesus
>i reject you
Whatever you do for the least of these, you do for Him. Whatever you do not do for the least of these, you do not do for Him. Do you deny Him come in the flesh… Us?
Jesus was clear, He had the authority. HE said it must happen. He gave His own life, no one took it.
It wasn't Judas. That false claim negates what Jesus said.
Truth is Truth.

If a Podesta is the highest ranking official in cities in italy in the middle ages, and the vatican is a city in italy, is the podesta the highest ranking catholic?
