Quote:"Ok, one more question before making my point, do you believe that the KJV is as accurate as the Amplified version?"
Yes, equal in accuracy, the Amplified however is written in modern language which is easier for some to understand. It also amplifies by including definitions of words.
Quote:"They are wrong based on your "form" of Christianity but they are correct based on the teaching of other denominations."
But since we know denominations are man made and therefore flawed, they are wrong.
Quote:"I am sorry, but you are wrong, because Jesus before the alleged Crucifixion was telling his disciples that "someone else" will come after him (i.e. comforter which will guide you to all truths) and as you know the comforter was NOT JESUS, therefore, Jesus' job was not to guide you into all truths but the comforter's, so Jesus' mission as you said was only for the Jews prior his crucifixion, after that the job was carried by the comforter, And so you are plainly trying to say that ALL his teaching before the alleged crucifixion was only for the JEWS, INCLUDING "LOVE YOUR ENEMY"
Alright, the comforter, which is the Holy Spirit, did indeed come after Jesus' assent into Heaven, but look at "how" it came:
John 14:26
(26) But the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, <b>Whom the Father will send in My name</b> [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. <b>And He will cause you to recall (will remind you of, bring to your remembrance) everything I have told you.</b>
John 15:26-27
(26) But when the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener, Standby) comes, <b>Whom I will send to you from the Father</b>, the Spirit of Truth Who comes (proceeds) from the Father, He [Himself] will testify regarding Me.
(27) <b>But you also will testify and be My witnesses, because you have been with Me from the beginning.</b>
John 15:26-27 goes hand in hand with what Jesus commanded his disciples:
Matthew 28:19-20
(19) Go ye therefore, and <b>teach all nations</b>, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
(20) <b>Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you</b>: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
So to recap, Jesus commanded his disciples to go into the Nations (Gentiles) and teach them everything He had commanded them; including "Love your enemy". They were to do this after they received the Holy Ghost whom the Father, and Jesus would both send, would then lead them into all truth by bringing to their remembrance everything Jesus had taught them..."love your enemy" ;)
