Hypocrites

It seems that some people love to boast about how they love the biblical God (they never use his name) and Jesus but they flip out when their hypocrisy is exposed.

A typical case in point =

[removed by staff] Why are you deleting your God's commandments? Do you want to end up in the lake of fire?

Deuteronomy 21:18-21 (ERV) =
Children Who Refuse to Obey
"18 “A man might have a son who is stubborn and refuses to obey. This son does not obey his father or mother. They punish the son, but he still refuses to listen to them. 19 His father and mother must then take him to the leaders of the town at the town meeting place. 20 They must say to the leaders of the town: ‘Our son is stubborn and refuses to obey. He does not do anything we tell him to do. He eats and he drinks too much.’ 21 Then the men in the town must kill the son with stones. By doing this you will remove this evil from your group. Everyone in Israel will hear about this and be afraid."

Exodus 21:15 (NKJV) =
“And he who strikes his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.

Jesus said that people had to follow all of the commandments, so what is up with the picking and choosing?

Matthew 7:26-27 (NKJV) =26 “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: 27 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”

The Old Testament was given as a guide, but was replaced by the birth of Jesus and this was manifested at his crucifiction and the veil in the temple was torn top to bottom, signifying the end of the old.

@Quimliqer So, God and Jesus were lying when they said the law was forever. I wonder why they didn't specify a shorter term instead of an absolute word like "forever?"

If they lied about that, maybe they lied about everything else. God was always lying and deceiving people just to show how clever he was. I hope he has gotten some mental health care by now because in the old days, he was a homicidal maniac lunatic. Clever people were always getting him to change his mind.

@Quimliqer And then came Mohamed and the same thing happened all over again. All People of the God of Abraham.
