You don’t know what you’re talking about; a quick but intense read of Matthew 5 is in order!
Your problem is that I do understand God’s word as the one indivisible word that it is, and you try to divide it to conquer it.
All of that word is in effect until we are in the New Jerusalem, and the material universe has “retreated from his face for no place was found for it.”
Selective reading of God’s word is a terminal end to eternal life.
.
The beatitudes are Gods constitution for the Kingdom. In other words that is what it will be like when God establishes his kingdom on the earth. The one the law abiding jews have been waiting 3,500 years for.
I apologize for the harsh words earlier. Thanks for not responding in kind. That does no good kinda like us preaching at each other. : )
