Well bro, it seems like we have some disagreement in the house. I make no apologies for loving Paul, and for considering that Jesus Christ, is none other than what He claimed to be, the spotless Son of God, the creator of Heaven and earth. I also lead others toward Him. If I am guilty of a capital sin, I can live with that, and I wonder who will be the one to enforce that capital sin?
Anyway, in light of the claims that Jesus made about himself, one has two choices, not 3 or 4. One can either think He was a deluded fruitcake, about the same as one who claims he is a fried egg. There simply is no middle ground. Either Jesus Christ is a demented liar, or He is exactly who He said he is. He is the same I AM, who appeared to Moses in the burning bush. He told Moses, tell them I AM has sent you.
He said several things worth noting. He said the men of Nineveh will rise in judgement over this generation, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah. The Queen of Sheba will rise in judgement over this generation, for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth, to hear the wisdom of Solomon. Men and women will come from everywhere on earth, including Grand Forks, North Dakota, and sit down and eat bread in the Kingdom of God, with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, together with I AM, while the children of Israel are cast into outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Jesus saved his most virulent criticism, for the religious leaders of the day, you know, the ones who were keeping the Law of Moses. Isn’t that somewhat similar to what you do? He called them whited sepulchres, full of dead men’s bones. He called them a brood of vipers, the blind leading the blind. No wonder they hated Him.
Anyway bro, you have two choices, accept Him for what He claimed to be, or face Him, as I AM at the great white throne judgement. I am pretty sure you will reject I AM, but remember, I AM (Jesus Christ) will say to the goats, depart from me ye cursed, into the lake of fire, prepared for the devil and his angels. You remember him, right, Lucifer, who tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden.
Look bro, you believe whatever your little heart desires, but you OWN it. If you are right, everything will be ok. If you are wrong........
Preach it, brother! +1

G-d will look upon the ways of an individual and judge him for his every action, even if he is not under the jurisdiction of a court of law, or if the court is not able to judge him, or if the court does not know about his behavior.
> One can either think he was a deluded fruitcake.
Yes.
> Either jesus christ is a demented liar.
Yes.
> the ones who were keeping the Law of Moses. Isn’t that somewhat similar to what you do?
No. The keepers of the Law of Moses are my teachers and friends.

The entire Jewish people personally experienced the revelation of G-d at Sinai, each individual in effect becoming a prophet, and each one verifying the experience of the other. With their own eyes they saw, and with their own ears they heard, as the Divine voice spoke to them. That public revelation authenticated the bona fide status of Moses as a prophet of G-d and the Divine origin of the instructions he recorded in the Torah. That, and that alone, is the criterion for the belief in, and acceptance of, Moses and his teachings. Sinai was a unique testimony to a group of millions of people. There never was again any occurrence of public Divine speech to an entire nation.
