John 13 34 & 35
34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
Did you know that LOVE fulfills God's Laws?

Galatians 5
14 For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
Romans13
8 Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. 9 The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” 10 Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
James 2
8 If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself, you do well; 9 but if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors. 10 For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all. 11 For He who said, “Do not commit adultery, also said, “Do not murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery, but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. 12 So speak and so do as those who will be judged by the law of liberty. 13 For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
4:11 Do not speak against one another, brethren. He who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge of it.
Ephesians 4
29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
1 John 4:20
If any one says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.
Proverbs 10:12
Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses.
Matthew 22
34 But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. 35 Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying, 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?”
37 Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’" 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two
commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
1 Peter 4:8
Above all hold unfailing your love for one another, since love covers a multitude of sins.

I wonder if his "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" actually really applies here? You can make up your own mind. :)
Ananias and Sapphira
Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. 2 With his wife’s full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles’ feet.
3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? 4 Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.”
5 When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who heard what had happened. 6 Then some young men came forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him.
7 About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8 Peter asked her, “Tell me, is this the price you and Ananias got for the land?”
“Yes,” she said, “that is the price.”
9 Peter said to her, “How could you conspire to te...

9 Peter said to her, “How could you conspire to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.”
10 At that moment she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband. 11 Great fear seized the whole church and all who heard about these events.
Why don't you face up to it, my learned friend - your bible does not stand up well to robust scrutiny, does it?
Matthew5;38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’[h] 39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Tommy, stop lieing! It is obvious you did not read the whole account. This account was so plain as learning the alphabets and yet you still blaitantly misused God's word just to back up your awkward belief and argument. This a warning don't play with God's word, that is one of the many things He is serious with. He even honour His word above His name and His name extremely great significance, His name is what describes His character.
Your said "King David was could have been stoned, but because of the relationship He had with God from before, God showed him mercy although he had to face the consequences" and yet Stephen, who clearly had a very close and almost personal relationship with God and "The Son of Man" was allowed to be murdered in a very brutal manner.
I'm sure that if I actually believed that your God exists, I would heed your stern warning and be very grateful to you for issuing it.
David was called a 'man after God's own heart'. He have heat to serve God, to seek after God daily as you can see in the Psalm's that we now read. One thing about David, even if he was the king he was not afraid to worship and praise God in the open. But most of all when he had done wrong, and he was found out, instead of blaming someone else he quickly repent. Many of us today we find it hard to say sorry to our wives, children, friends, family members, coworkers and that is one of the reasons we are having so much family problems. Because we are not willing to say, 'I am sorry'. In other words, David was a man of humility. That is why even in the prophecies God said He will restore the tabernacle of David. It was a tabernacle of praise and worship unto God.
Jesus was the prophecied Messaiah. He was the seed of Abraham through whom all the nations of the earth will be bless. He is the Lamb of God which came to take away the sins of the world. He came fulfill laws of Moses which include the kil...

Jesus was the prophecied Messaiah. He was the seed of Abraham through whom all the nations of the earth will be bless. He is the Lamb of God which came to take away the sins of the world. He came fulfill laws of Moses which include the killing of lambs without spot and blemish, to remove te sins of the people of Israel in the Old Testament days. So also, Jesus Christ was sent as the Lamb of God, without spot of sin and blemishes, to die for the sins of mankind. He had to give His life, for no man can take His life, then rose again on the third day to show us that the work which He did on the cross is sealed and complete. Therefore mankind can now receive the forgiveness of God through receiving His Son Jesus Christ. It is not by our own good works but through faith in Jesus Christ we can receive salvation. Christ paid the debt that we cannot pay and that is the debt of sin.
Lol, I'm somewhat joking *3* I despise the specifics of religion (everything but the Golden Rules should go), and all that's happened because of it. But, I do appreciate what the ordinary man named, "Jesus" attempted to do for the world.
Personally, I think Jesus was a real person, but he wasn't the son of god. It's my theory that he just wanted to show the world that you should be civil with one another, and get the fric along, or there'll be ultimate consequences. He also wanted to let people believe that there's always one unfathomable being that loves them unconditionally, thereby expanding their self esteem. But, in all reality, it should stop there. These kinds of teachings are really only meant to direct us to be better people, and to keep us going. What one should take from them, is the stuff that actually means something; the gold underneath the unnecessary minerals, which just needs to be sifted through. If you just take away the best parts of god's teachings, then I think you'll be even closer to god than anyone else. You'd be taking the universal themes for religion, without taking anything that'll disrupt those themes.
Just sayin :T
2) All of the vicious Old Testament laws will be binding forever. "It is easier for Heaven and Earth to pass away than for the smallest part of the letter of the law to become invalid." (Luke 16:17 NAB)
3) Jesus strongly approves of the law and the prophets. He hasn’t the slightest objection to the cruelties of the Old Testament. "Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest part or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place." (Matthew 5:17 NAB)
3b) "All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for refutation, for correction, and for training in righteousness..." (2 Timothy 3:16 NAB)

I am assuming I don't have to provide OT quotes to show the lack of a loving God and the preaching of Love they neighbour. So how is this consistent? How can Jesus preach all that love and also preach that all of the laws of the OT are also vaild? Awfully inconsistent.
If you hang on too all that.....then why did Jesus die?
You keep saying Jesus fulfilled the laws. Jesus showed up and appeared to match the prediction that there would be a messiah. There are biblical scholars who can actually quite intellectually argue that he didn't match this prediction and wasn't the messiah. Again none of that matters to me, but this statement "Jesus fulfilled the laws" means nothing. If it is all written after the fact, the reports of Jesus are written long after he was gone, OF COURSE he fulfilled the laws. The writers could write whatever they wanted.
There is no scholar who can prove that Jesus did not fulfill the the laws and the prophecies about Himself. Shawna stop telling lies! You know the truth but you choose not to believe because you want to remain condemned.
