There was a time, long long ago when you were considered an idiot if you were anything but anonymous on the internet.
Aaaaaaaaaaaand now we have facebook. The single greatest invention in intelligence gathering there ever was.
Schmucks.

If you don't care what The One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church says, how can you say you are following God?
The church wrote the scriptures you profess to believe.

You established this, but you thinling something doesn't make it true.
As it isn't what the church teaches, and in fact goes against what the church teaches, it is automatically disqualified from being sound teaching to say Jesus disobeyed the Mosaic law.
It is like you are saying that Jesus was a bad Jew.

I'm not saying it is intentional, so that affords you some grace, eh?
But it is a bad teaching to say Jesus broke the mosaic law.

It is understood that a lot of the things that Jesus said likely did not completely register until after Jesus was crucified, even up until pentecost.

I don't think you realize that accusing Jesus of breaking the OT law is not only at odds with what the church teaches, but is even blasphemous.
Jesus did not violate Mosaic law.

Yet you refuse to be corrected, so your "research" evidently had a predetermined conclusion that you are simply skewing the evidence to support.
You don't even believe in the God of the bible, you are simply being subversive. Dishonest too.

Jesus did not break the law.

The so called "Christadelphians" are heretics, they aren't even really Christians.
But Romans did execute by crucifixion, and it was done on a cross.

I dispute your claim that Jesus disobeyed the law of Moses.
But it was established early on in the church that gentile converts did not have to become Jews.
"For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well."
I find the easiest way to avoid blood is to be vegetarian. Kosher meat has the blood drained out of it, but non kosher meat still tends to be bloody.

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."
And so Christ voluntarily went to the cross, enduring humiliation, rising from the dead trampling down death by death.
If you were honest, you would not take something for the end that is not truly the end. The one you call liar and lunatic went to the cross even for your sake.

Why don't you go drink some of that holy sewer water from the Ganges or something and get mystical. Do some breathing exercises afterwords, and be mezmorized by the spiritual delusions you take as visions. Maybe one day you'll wake up, realize you are god, and make some Maseratis off of gullible yoga pants wearing housewives from California who still haven't figured out that stretching is something you do before exercising.

"For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise."

Slavery was an unavoidable circumstance in life throughout most of human history.
The church doesn't avoid the hard subjects. It would be worse if nothing was said about slavery.

For those who want, there is a wealth of writing material on the Mystagogy of the faith accumulated over our long ancient history. Openly available.
If I wasn't personally well aquainted with much of these writings of the church, I would not speak as I do.
But yes, you should learn with the guidance of a priest, which is simply due humility.

The Bishop of Rome violated the 4th and 8th ecumenical councils by altering the creed, and so they have been booted from the church for over a thousand years.
Since then, they have only veered further and further away from Orthodoxy.

You do not get to tell me what I mean by my words, I am not a deceptive person.
Your problem is you take "The Ultimate Reality" to mean something other than what it means. If you took it to mean what it means, I am not saying anything that isn't patently obvious.
And only accepting it as Reality As it Truly Is will our discipline, which has more to do with examining the self and removing that which clouds our judgement or compromises our honesty, make sense.
Instead you are superstitious and because you refuse to be humble about being ignorant, you are confused.

Jesus Christ is The Word of God, who is God, co-essential with The Father and The Holy Spirit. That being the case, Yahweh is not one in a Trinity, but the whole Trinity.
Jesus Christ is both God incarnate and The Son of God.

The Orthodox Catholic Church is the very church that began at pentecost with an unbroken lineage of every Bishop back to ordination by. the apostles.
What church do you belong to? I doubt you even belong to any.
But the answer to your question is in the next segment of the creed.
"Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven, and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and was made man;
And was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and was buried;
And the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures;
And ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of the Father;
And He shall come again with glory to judge the living and the dead, Whose kingdom shall have no end."

You are taking what I said out of context.
I more than likely said "If the Ultimate Reality is such and such, that is what it is".
Thst is not an admission of possibility, because you certainly gave other impossible scenarios.
The Ultimate Reality is exactly what it is. And it is all encompassing.
And that is what God is, my repeating this matter or even my silence on the matter has no impact on the veracity of this. This is what we mean by God.
You by denying this are wrong. And superstitious to boot.
The Ultimate Reality can't be "anything". It is what it is. To you it can be anything, because it is all arbitrary to you.
