"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me"


15 "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles? 17 So, every sound tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears evil fruit. 18 A sound tree cannot bear evil fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus you will know them by their fruits."

"You brood of snakes! How could evil men like you speak what is good and right? For whatever is in your heart determines what you say."

"Why do you call me good?" . "No one is good--except God alone."


"Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”




If any of you would like me to expand on these or any other quote you might have feel free to ask. I wanted to make this thread as a source for anyone looking to expand their knowledge based on truth, since after all this forum is for "higher learning"

So ask a follower of Jesus anything.

Expand on this one breh :dwillhuh:

The context of this quote is that a man came up to Jesus and asked "good teacher, what must I do to earn eternal life" he told the man to keep the 10 commandments to which the man responded he had since birth. Then Jesus told him "then sell everything you have and follow me" the man walked away very sad because he was wealthy and couldn't bring himself to do it.

The quote is a parable. It means 2 things: 1. Jesus is questioning his motives on why he called him good. It wasn't him saying "don't call ME good, I'm not a good guy" he was saying you call me good but do you know what good is? 2. He's saying if you really think I'm good be prepared to submit to what I have to tell you

See the man thought living a righteous life was enough to enter heaven but when asked to give up all he had he couldn't do it. The quote is really a proclamation of Jesus divinity as the son of god, that the only way to god is through him

The deeper meaning is that we have to unlearn the adult behavior of earning what we receive. Eternal life is not something you earn by being "good" and righteous but rather a gift from god. an you receive this gift like a child from a parent.Jesus wants us to be more childlike depending on the father (god) to provide for us. In this mans case giving up the security of material wealth for gods security

"If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels."

"whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven."

:rudy:

see quotes like this are real suspect. all that "do this or else"

but if every religion has these rules then doesnt that make the vast majority of rules wrong? ugh

"And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full. But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back."

the Kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you. When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realize that it is you who are the sons of the living Father. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty

Do not tell lies, and do not do what you hate, for all things are plain in the sight of Heaven. For nothing hidden will not become manifest, and nothing covered will remain without being uncovered.
