Page 826 … the One & true Doctrine
“If you eliminate the Old Testament and the majority of the New Testament, you are propagating a false religion”
And I would say to you that this ABSOLUTELY NOT the case at all! Indeed, if you start with the teachings of Christ, and accept all the other verses of the Bible that resonate therewith (while gently setting aside all those that do not), you will actually then & only then be able to See & Hear the True Doctrine of the Scriptures (i.e. the doctrine that bears by far the best Fruit, and the doctrine that happens to harmonize perfectly with both the teachings of Jesus Christ as well as the will of his all-Loving heavenly Father) – which is the doctrine that the Bible itself desires for us to See & Hear …
And you know what, Dan? … The Bible itself says exactly the same thing!
“The days are surely coming, says the Lord, when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel … not like the covenant that I made with their ancestors … This is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall not teach one another or say to each other, “Know the Lord”, for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest. For I will be merciful towards their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more.’ In speaking of ‘a new covenant’, He has made the first one obsolete. And what is obsolete and growing old will soon disappear.” ~ Hebrews 8:8-13
“The Law indeed was given through Moses, and yet Grace & Truth came through Jesus Christ.” ~ John 1:17
“If you Love me you will abide by my commandments … They who hear my commandments and keep them are those who Love me; and those who Love me will be Loved by my Father, and I will Love them and reveal myself to them.” ~ Jesus Christ (John 14:15 + 21)
“A new commandment I give to you: that you Love one another. Just as I have Loved, so you also are to Love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples: when you show Love for one another.” ~ Jesus Christ (John 13:34-35)
“Everyone who does not abide in the teaching of Christ, but goes beyond it [like Paul does], does not have God; Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.” ~ 2 John 1:9
