Ok new testament ones
If a man does not abide in me, he is cast forth as a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire and burned."
Jesus-John 15:6
Wow he is going to burn us.....
On the following day, when they came from Bethany, he (Jesus) was hungry. And seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could
find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. And he said to it, 'May no one ever eat
fruit from you again.'"
Mark 11:12
Have you ever eaten a fig?
Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father,
and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother- in-law...."
Jesus-Matthew 10:34
Can just see the Movie Jesus 2-this time he kicks ass....
For if a woman will not veil herself, she should cut off her hair; but if it disgraceful for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her wear a veil"
1 Corinthians 11:6
No more shaven havens lol
"Likewise, you wives, be submissive to your husbands..."
1 Peter 3:1
Back to your kitchens now !!!
The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile."
1 Corinthians 3:20
Just lol so he is trying to keep his subjects thick?
"Bid slaves to be submissive to their masters and to give satisfaction in every respect..."
Titus 2:9
Lots of quotes saying slaves should be grateful, my fave comes from jesus himself
And that servant who knew his master's will, but did not make ready or act according to his will, shall receive a severe beating."
Jesus-Luke 12:47
All from the NT.
Really...come on! Im not going to rebuttal all your passages you quoted ....or copied and pasted but i will do this one,
"Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father,
and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother- in-law...."
Jesus-Matthew 10:34
What he means is that you cant love your mother or mother in law more than jesus. it goes back to Matt 6:24 " No one can serve two masters. The
person will hate one master and love the other, or will follow one master and refuse to follow the other. You cannot serve both God and worldly
riches.
You should be thankfull and recognize your parents and that they take/took care of you. But if God never made people then you would have no parents
and you will not be here...... You should study more deeper and try to exploring more from God's words and your mind .....you will understand.
