I'm hoping that you've already read for yourself in this thread some of the corrupt deceitfulness that can truly happen when you try to combine the Bible with other religions or practices. You're being warned.
I'm in danger of corruption? By comparing Psalm, Torah, Bible and Quran, I can see clearly what are constant and what are not. Did Jesus teach you, God does not change?

Really? Maybe you've mixed too much Quran into your studies instead of focusing on the Bible and what Paul had to say.

If you're using esoterics, you're most likely already being fooled on some level.

I think your mixing of religions has clouded your judgement and that you might fall into the same trap as SourcePage has, thinking you know who God is, but possibly don't.

A true follower of God would want to obey his commandments

and esoterics are entirely out of the question.

The only "mystery" you need to know and understand is that Jesus IS God. You mentioning the Quran tells me that you haven't come to that understanding.

I don't know where you ever got the impression that I was Catholic, as I am not.

John 8:19
19 Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.

Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. No one makes it to the Father without Him, as it's all done THROUGH Him, just like we're shown in John 14:6, Hebrews 7:25, and John 6:45-47.
Even so, I acknowledge Jesus make a new convenant for everyone, which you seem to forget.
The Nicene council decreed Jesus, the Begotten Son of God. This alone nullifying Christian Trinity God.

Jesus made a new covenant for those who know who He really is. Just a sacrificial lamb, He was NOT.

You can think you have your own little special covenant with God, but you don't. Jesus is the door. Without Jesus, you have no way to God.

Precisely. That's why God calls the shots and makes the covenants, not you.

You said that your covenant with God was your own and there is no such thing.
You can call your own shots, but you can NOT claim your own salvation. You have to do it God's way.

Actually I think you don't understand the word "AND" refer two things.
AND you dont understand The Father is not the Son, and cannot be equal to the son.
What is God's way?
You said it's Jesus way. Therefore, what is Jesus' way?

Whether it's God the Father or God the Son, its the same way.
You must repent to Jesus and ask Him to become the Lord and Savior of your life.
Genesis 3:23 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. 24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
