Leesa's Perspective

Did Jesus trivialize and even advocate disobedience to God’s laws? Here is a List of some verses that have been MISINTERPRETED as Jesus encouraging trivialization of and even disobedience to God’s laws. 1.       Matthew 15: 10-11 “ Jesus called the crowd to him. He said, " Listen and understand .  What goes into your mouth does not make you 'unclean.' It's what comes out of your mouth that makes you 'unclean .' " Jesus was teaching that sin comes from within. Many biblical scholars and ordinary Christians incorrectly interpret this statement of Jesus to mean that Jesus was authorizing them to eat anything, drink anything because it doesn’t make you unclean.   What Jesus was stating here is that disobedience to laws starts from the heart.  They immediately justify their lack of adherence to the health laws in the Bible based on this statement that Jesus made – they completely took this statement out...

Who is God? Here are some exclusive attributes and titles of God according to  the prophets’ words.

Did Jesus imply that he was God and/or God’s son?   There are a few verses that are interpreted as Jesus implying that he is God or the exclusive son of God.  Why did Jesus call God “Father”?  Did his using this title to address God imply an exclusive and literal father-son relationship? I will address the key verses and from these key ones – God willing, you will see the other verses in their proper context. 1.         John 10:27-38 “My sheep hear my voice and I know them; they follow me and I give them eternal life .   They shall never perish and no one will ever steal them from me.  What the Father has given me is stronger than everything and no one can snatch it from the Father’s hand .  I and the Father are one .  The Jews then picked up stones to throw at him; so Jesus said” I have openly done many good works among you which the Father gave me to do.  For which of these do ...
