1 | What about Matthew 19:16-19 | John 3:16 | Searcher56 | 65288 | ||
Scriptural Context ... Matthew 19:16-30 ... The man SAID he kept the commandments ... then Jesus had him do one more thing. READ THE CONTEXT. |

2 | What about Matthew 19:16-19 | John 3:16 | spiritualair | 65303 | ||
Since the "man" is just a man, and is not Jesus/God, therefore COULD lie, when he SAID that he kept the commandments, including "love thy neighbor as thyself"(verse 19), is it not possible or even probable that he LIED in SAYING that he kept them, meaning that he never broke any? JESUS, being God, knowing EVERYTHING and knowing that that man actually wasn't keeping "love thy neighbor as thyself" proved to that man by asking him to "sell all that he has, and give to the poor" that the rich young ruler WAS NOT in fact keeping that commandment, because if you love your neighbor as much as you love yourself, then if you have ANYTHING more than what your neighbor has, and there's always somebody without something then YOU won't have ANY possessions, because you will have given them to your neighbor. To see this more clearly, please read again Matthew 19:19-22: "Honour thy father and thy mother: and, THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOR AS THYSELF. The young man SAITH unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, GO AND SELL THAT THOU HAST, AND GIVE TO THE POOR, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions." WHY did he go away sorrowful? Jesus told him to love thy neighbor as thyself when he told him to sell all that he has, so it seems that this man did NOT keep the commandments that Jesus said in keeping them, that a person could "have eternal life" (see matthew 19:16). He broke one of them, therefore did NOT keep them, therefore would not get the reward that Jesus promised of eternal life. In love and truth, Spiritualair |

Searcher, it seems by what you have been saying, that you are DISAGREEING with the comments I've made so far about Matthew 19. If God has enlightened you about something that I, or anyone else should see, why don't you share it with us? And if you disagree, then out of love for my soul, wouldn't you want to point out something SPECIFIC in order to HELP me see more clearly? For, in merely saying that YOU read the whole context, and as I have also, and don't yet see how the scriptures and comments that I have brought up would be in any way disagreeing with the context, then would you be so kind as to enlighten me and any others that may need some help?
