From what I’ve read, Jesus didn’t care so much for all the legalisms.

My God is not a petty God.

The scribes and Pharisees tried to impress Jesus with their legalisms and rituals. He wasn’t overly impressed. Jesus was/is “not of this world.”

Jesus knows our hearts.

My post does not mean that I am implying that Bibletruth wrong either.

"My God is not a petty God."

How does this statement reconcile with John 12:48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. Either He cares or He does not care if we reject His word. Is it "petty" for Him to demand we keep His word?

The prime question one should ask himself is, Who is Lord? Because, how can we say Jesus is Lord and we decide what is important and what is petty?

Luke 6:46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
