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.”

Jesus is supposed to be the son of God and lots of people worship him as a supreme deity, which is completely counter to Old Testament doctrine.

But have you ever noticed how the story-tellers gummed up the story?

They made Jesus, the son of God, a disciple of the Old Testament barely-mentioned Melchizedek, the chief priest of some cult whose main claim to fame was getting 10% of the murdering and thieving Abraham's loot.

Hebrews 6:20 (GNV) = Whither the forerunner is for us entered in, even Jesus that is made an high Priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

So, here's the son of God, Jesus, worshiped as a supreme deity, who is a member of a mysterious guy's cult who set the 10% tithe rule.
