Excellent verse. It is implicit throughout Scripture that to believe in Christ meant to believe in the words (the logos) of Christ. You can not believe in Christ without believing the Bible.If you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?"
(Joh 5:46-47 ESV)

Where in the Bible does it say that? Who made that rule up?
Don't you ever get tired of saying, "Na, na... I'm Christian, you are not. 😛"?

When Jesus says your righteousness must exceed the scribes and pharisees, what does that mean to you?

Originally posted by kirksey957Yes, I do believe that the Laws of Deuteronomy And Levitcus are to be adhered to. All those those that pertain to Temple sacrifice, have been ended with the Death of CHRIST at Calvery. But the moral laws have been enhanced with the teachings of JESUS.

I believe that the righteousness of the Believer must exceed the unbelief of those Scribes, Ministers, Pharisees, or all those that rejected THE WORD OF JESUS CHRIST. All those that have not accepted the clear teachings that were given by CHRIST. Will never enter into the kingdom of heaven. those that never were given the opportunity to accept or reject CHRIST. Will enter on their knowledge of right and wrong.

Originally posted by blindfaith101Jesus tossed out several of those laws in the New Testament; stoning people for adultery, not working on the Sabbath, allowing divorce, etc. etc. etc. How can you say you are a "Christian" i.e. someone who believes in Christ, when you adhere to laws that he expressly said no longer have any force?
