The Reasons why "Just Following Jesus" Doesn't work

Now as for the command not to kill actually it says not to murder. Killing and murdering are two different acts. In the New testament Jesus takes it even further and says your words of hate for someone can be equal to murder.

From my experience in life and what I have read in the bible God is not self-centered. He is beyond humble and is self controlled but I am curious Chad32 why do you think he is self-centered?

Chad32 I have seen my children legitimately wrong the other and them being upset because of it. Still are you saying that right and wrong is just made up by people? If so that is so why do we not want things that are truly ours taken away?

I'm pretty sure the god of the old testament acts differently than Jesus does. Even so, never changing doesn't mean you're right. It just means you're stubborn. Surely you don't believe that slavery is ok, and raping an unbetrothed virgin is ok as long as I have five hundred solver on hand, or kill all her friends and family first, do you?

He demands that people worship him on pain of death or torture, and thinks all Humans are evil because someone disobeyed him once. It doesn't get mroe self centered than that.

We don't want anything we have, and are interested in, taken away from us. Whether it truly is ours or not. If your kid wrongs someone, and they feel bad because the other kid was upset, that just means your kid has empathy. If your kid had an innate sense of right and wrong, s/he wouldn't have done wrong in the first place. Unless it was an accident.
