Am I the only one who notices how some completely disregard the old testament, the apostles words and only focus on what Jesus says? It is like people ignore God's word and Paul of Tarsus and only focus on a few verses that Jesus quoted even though Jesus came to fulfill his Father's (God's) work and Paul walked alongside Jesus till the end. I even remember a woman who stated that she only believes in Jesus because he is love and ignores everything else including the Bible since it is "hatefilled" according to her observation. She only focuses on the verses like "he who cast the first stone" and "love your neighbor/brother" but generally ignores all the other things he said thus making him one-dimensional. 

Does anyone else notice the "Jesus only" crowd?

what things would you have us dwell on.  Don't get me wrong for I don't think anyone can understand the new testament without extensive knowledge of the old....

 

One should keep in mind that it was decided 2000 years ago that one did not have to live under the old covenant to be party to the new.   The new has it's commands and rewards but are much different but in my opinion much better even though we have to wait for them.

 

Also the old covenant dealt with the physical life here on earth, and the new deals more with the spiritual world for eternity.

I'm just asking if you notice people who completely ignore/bash old testament and many parts of the new testament and only focus on scriptures that Jesus quoted. I'm more asking if you notice those who seem to only focus on Jesus and ignore other scripture. I have noticed many of my peers only focus on a few verses from Jesus and ignore the rest of the bible entirely. You gave a good explanation of the difference between the old and new testament though.

i think you would need to give me some specifics.  I don't think I'm following your thought process here..  I'm kind of "out of it" tonight

In the op I quoted a friend who said "I only believe in Jesus...he is love...the Bible is hateful". She ignores Jesus' Father and ignores the rest of the Bible because it is hateful. I guess in a way she believed that Jesus was someone separate and had no connection to his Father.

I worked for a man that believed this. He only believed you should read from the pauline epistals onward it was hard to have discussions about scripture cause he didn't understand the old testament at all

That would take a long time to sort through all the problems that would create.

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topic Videos,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
