I spent 49 yrs of my life in Christendom, thus I am qualified to speak of the false aspects of its doctrine.

Ex 12:49 “One law shall be for the native-born and for the stranger who dwells among you.”

1 John 2:4 Anyone who says, “I know him,” but isn't obeying his commands is a liar - the truth is not in him. 5 But if someone keeps doing what he says, then truly love for God has been brought to its goal in him. This is how we are sure that we are united with him. 6 A person who claims to be continuing in union with him ought to conduct his life the way he did. 7 Dear friends, I am not writing you a new command. On the contrary, it is an old command, which you have had from the beginning

Deut 4:40 “Therefore, you are to keep his laws and mitzvot which I am giving you today, so that it will go well with you and with your children after you, and so that you will prolong your days in the land ADONAI your God is giving you forever.”

Maybe you can tell me what part of one law forever, for everyone, Christendom does not understand?

patlin, I don’t care whether you spent 149 years of your life in Christendom, it does not mean you understand much of anything much less that you are qualified to speak with any kind of authority or veracity. Saying such things as, “According to Christendom, the Messiah came to break the Abrahamic covenant and side with pagan worshipers,” tells me that you are either deliberately saying what you know to be untrue in order to provoke or that you really do not understand Christianity. I choose to err on the side of charity and believe that you are simply lacking in understanding.

So, let me ask you this simple question: What is the “proper” translation of Genesis 6:5? And does this verse include you in its evaluation of mankind?
