Your snarky, judgy post is duly noted as is your lack of intellect to grasp the essence of God’s Word in the Bible.

Or perhaps you just reject God and attempt to hide your hate behind snarky posts?

You satanic koranimals are all the same...not unlike the typical eurotwit.

Perhaps this vitriol is extreme sarcasm? If not, it appears that the 'trigger' post was #9, which is the essense of God's Word. Hardly a surprise that it would offend. The NT is full of examples of learned men and their trigger responses. A lot of folks will be downright appalled and horrified at who is welcomed into the Kingdom.

Galatians 5:14-15 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.

One famous account in the Talmud (Shabbat 31a) tells about a gentile who wanted to convert to Judaism. This happened not infrequently, and this individual stated that he would accept Judaism only if a rabbi would teach him the entire Torah while he, the prospective convert, stood on one foot. First he went to Shammai, who, insulted by this ridiculous request, threw him out of the house. The man did not give up and went to Hillel. This gentle sage accepted the challenge, and said:


"What is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor. That is the whole Torah; the rest is the explanation of this--go and study it!"

Furthermore,

Our sages teach us: “The Torah of this world is hevel in comparison to the Torah of the world to come”.

http://www.inner.org/sefirot/seftifer.htm

Hevel is the same word as Abel, the man who was so offensive that "he needed killing":

הבל Hebel {heh'-bel} the same as 01892;; n pr m AV - Abel 8; 8 Abel = "breath" 1) second son of Adam and Eve, killed by his brother Cain

from:

הבל hebel {heh'bel} or (rarely in the abs.) הבל habel {hab-ale'} from 01891; TWOT - 463a; n m AV - vanity 61, vain 11, altogether 1; 73 1) vapour, breath 1a) breath, vapour 1b) vanity (fig.) adv 2) vainly

from:

הבל habal {haw-bal'} a primitive root; TWOT - 463; v AV - become vain 4, make vain 1; 5 1) to act emptily, become vain, be vain 1a) (Qal) 1a1) to become vain 1a2) to be utterly vain (with cognate acc) 1b) (Hiphil) 1b1) to cause to become vain 1b2) to fill with vain hopes

hevel: a puff of breath, vapor, air, luft

Eurotwit's 'trigger' word: fluff:

a loose, soft and light substance
entertainment or writing perceived as trivial or superficial

The Torah of this world is fluff in comparison to the Torah of the world to come.

The word hevel (הבל) permutes to ha-lev (הלב), 'the heart'.

Love. It's a simple concept (command) that is lost on this world, every man going the way according to his interpretation. Yet the entire Torah is contained within its heart. Literally, because the bookends of the Torah (and the whole of the Hebrew scripture) are the letters bet and lamed (the first and last letters respectively), which spell the word lev, heart.

For all the law is fulfilled in one word. This stuff is more literal than people think.

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

"What is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor. That is the whole Torah; the rest is the explanation of this--go and study it!"

Because,

Mark 10:31 But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.

Starting with the bookend letters which contain the whole of Torah: the last (lamed) becomes first, and the first (bet) becomes last: lev, heart.

The Torah of the Messiah [that begins with the letter alef, being the command to love, ehav! אהב] IS the missing "23rd" letter. Sitting right there all along:

Psalm 40

6 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.
7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,
8 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.

~ King David

Messiah, son of David. A classic case of 'like father, like son'.

Galatians 5:14 refers back to Leviticus (Vayikra) 19:18, as does Matthew 22:39, Mark 12:31 and Luke 10:27. Just thought I’d add that.

And the law (Torah) of the world to come is the same as the law that God gave to Israel and the world after the Messiah’s first coming. We do have the content of the books referred to in Daniel 7:10 and Revelation 20:12, with respect to the law.

PS. When we are advised to live by every word of God, none of it is “fluff”. Using the word “fluff” implies it is to be ignored or discarded; but without it, we would not know how to love one’s neighbor as ourselves, or how to love God.

Ez...

I have gone through a lot of suffering.

Some it mentioned it here.

I can’t handle life well anymore...

I see Trump dancing with the swords....

Killed myself I wanted.

Then I felt this spirit come over me.

And it said “love”

But, I have helped so much.

Given this website money, when I have no money to give.

Whatever.

I have read the entire Christian bible back to front.

And prayed since I was a very little child.

The answer in my heart is love and truth.

I have no money.

Infact I want to die.

But, the little money I have I give away.

I called a suicuide hotline tonight for help....

Well, it did help.

I am still here.

I am not about to throw bible verses around.

Butm people will send hate your way..... a lot.

Just they way it is.

The people who send the most hate are “the most righteous”

““Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’”

God bless you for helping a very depressed man.

*hugs* and God bless.
