Say whaaaaat? The ten commandments are eternal because there are no punishments, but God punished people for breaking them and Jesus both agreed with the Law as perfect and then said it was wrong?
That's crazy, man.

if jesus was really viewed as the greatest teacher who ever lived...........why would a 3rd party need to explain his teaching?

Perhaps, but then I do not seek relevance. Neither do I seek to answer all questions which are thrown about to destroy the faith of lurkers.
It's not the questions that destroys faith.
The Ten Commandments say nothing about stoning, they have no punishments. This is what makes them eternal.
That is the fallacy known as "not even wrong". There conclusion doesn't follow from the premise, indeed the conclusion and the premise are so unrelated as to not even make sense. The prohibition on mixing types of fabric also doesn't carry punishments or stoning threats, yet it is not eternal.
It's "not even wrong" because there is to way to determine whether or not it's even possible to determine whether it's right or not.
Jesus taught repentance and forgiveness not stoning. It makes perfect sense then that the Ten Commandmentsbeing eternal do not include stoning.
Slow down there, turbo dog. Jesus taught that the whole of the law, ALL of it, was perfect and would not pass away. That means the stonings, too. Are you disagreeing with Jesus?

Don't you know? Truly, you were a Witness and do not know the difference?
I must presume you do or I'm mistaken and you were never a Witness. If so, my apologies.
You presume a lot. You also seem to make a lot of claims then try to avoid answering them. Perhaps your claims are as relevant as your questions and presumptions.
NO! You are misquoting me. Go back and read it again. I said: I believe the Ten Commandments are eternal.
You are correct. I mixed up you EA in my responses. Apologies.
The discussion is the Ten Commandments and I kept to it. You are reading what YOU want to see not what is actually on the page
EA916 said he kept the law and that it was eternal. I was addressing that. It was on topic. I simply mixed up my response to you gents.
Read more carefully.
Good advice, always. I hope you keep to that advice as well.
Let's take this one step at a time. We have to understand that we live in a different day and age. The culture back then was different
So? Is God's law eternal or not? If it is, then culture has exactly zero to do with anything.
I am talking about the ten commandments that God wrote with his finger on the tablets of stone.
But you said "the law of God" and that's what I was addressing. Keep the 10 commandments if you want to, I don't care. I was discussing the other thing you mentioned.
If you don't keep the law of God, that's fine. You just said you did and found that curious.
And next time Viviane, make sure to put Bible text on where you are getting your information from. Thanks.
Next time you post to me, please be sure to keep your incorrect assumptions about my mood and attitude to yourself.
Do you know the Ten Commandments? Obviously not.
Of course I do (although you didn't specify which version, there is more than one). However, you said "I believe the law of God is eternal" and said that you try to keep them. The 10 commandments, either version, is not "the law of god".
If you didn't mean the law, then you shouldn't have said that. You should have said something else to specify what you meant. If you don't keep to the laws I mentioned then you obviously don't keep to the law of God, which is fine, but it's not the same thing as what you said.
I am embarrassed for you.
When that rank as something I care about I'll be happy to let you know.
So you specifically avoid pork? Avoid wearing clothes made from two different kinds of fabric? You actively avoid shellfish? You sacrifice animals as proscribes? You kill people that worship other gods if they proselytize to you?
