Newbie's scanner
Here we have a bible skipper, hunting down verses in a newbie fashion.
Ex. 20:4. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image,
EX. 25:18 And thou shalt make two cherubims of gold, of beaten work shalt thou make them.
For who? no contradiction shown
Eph. 2:8,9 For by grace are ye saved through faith...not of works. (Rom. 3:20, 28; Gal. 2:16)
James 2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.(Matt.
Repentance is required to be justified if you are without works. The man next to Christ did no works yet Christ said he would join him in paradise. no contradiction shown
If we repented then done bad works we would not be justified.
no contradiction shown
Ex. 20:16 Thou shalt not bear false witness.(Prov. 12:22; Rev. 21:8)
1 Kings 22:23 The Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets,
Yet, it was the spirit inside him who was the liar.
Ex. 20:15 Thou shalt not steal. (Lev. 19:13)
Ex. 3:22. And ye shall spoil the Egyptians. (Ex. 12:35-36; Luke 19:29-33)
Does this refer to the Exodus?
"And the lord gave them favour of the Egyptians, so they lent unto them" Ex.12.36. Also, this was before the Commandment to not steal, making no contradiction.
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you. (Luke 2:14; Acts 10:36)
Matt. 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth, I came not to send peace, but a sword. (Matt. 10:35-37; Luke 22:36)
no contradiction shown
John 8:14 Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true.
John 5:31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
You have put this in the wrong order again. Why do you think he says though?
Matt. 5:22 Whosoever shall say Thou fool, shall be in danger of hellfire.
Matt. 23:17 (Jesus said) Ye fools and blind.
