This involves agape love that comes from God. God commands us in His word that we should love even our enemies. I guess you cannot understand this since there is no such command for love in your religion.
True God given love contrary to what you say is ultimately a choice and a commitment that, as I mentioned, may or may not accompany feelings or emotion. I think you just like to debate and argue for the sake of it friend.
I see no contradictions, because yours is the private interpretation not mine. Christians as a whole believe Jesus is the culmination of Israel. Do you know what culmination means?
What are you talking about here? Again, do you know what culmination means? If you did, I don't think you would've made this comment.
I haven't ignored you and you have mentioned no facts. My posts don't always show up in time or at all sometimes. I answered you by quoting the verses in question:
Mat. 27: 45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
Luke: 23: 44)It was now about the sixth hour,] and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour, 45 while the sun's light failed. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. 46 Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” And having said this he breathed his last.
It is possible that Jesus said both during or about the 9th hour because it was about that hour. About is not an exact time so both statement could have been made. You are grasping at straws here, and have not proven Biblical unreliability has you had hoped. At least not with us Christians, and you have missed the point of the passage you quote being blinded by your misdirected zeal to prove the Bible is corrupted.
You debate me and argue and reject truth from the Bible at your own spiritual peril along with all others reading and rejecting this message. If the Bible was corrupted, than so is the Quran, because Allah said he sent down the torah and gospel to your prophet Muhammad as guidance and light with no mention of corruption. We still have the same manuscripts he had in his hand in the 7th century. God said in those Scriptures: "My word is established forever in heaven....,"and the Quran says that no one can alter or change Allah's words. So, if the torah and gospel (Allah's words) were altered, Allah's word in the Quran isn't true; if the Bible, however, has not been altered, then the Quran is not true, because it clashes with the torah and gospel; so, in light of this, it makes more sense to me to be Christian than Muslim which is the topic of this thread!
