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?

I do not speak my words, I put forth the words of YHVH and I let Him speak for Himself. I also have made no evaluation of any person, only that of religious doctrine per freeper rules regarding religious threads.

The doctrine you follow, which is the doctrine I left, says that the Mosaic laws are for Jews only and since according to YHVH, the Mosaic laws are attached to the Abrahamic covenant and are never to be separated, then if a doctrine casts off the Mosaic laws, it has cast off the Abrahamic covenant because it never accepted it to begin with. John 7:16 Jesus answered them and said, “My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me." How does one reconcile religious doctrine that dismisses the terms of the covenant?

John 14 - the “if you love me” chapter says doctrine that loves YHVH does not cast off His doctrine for that of man.
