How To Live, Forever Part 2

Chapter Three: Things Not To Do Unto God

Jesus said in the new testament that whatever goes into a man's stomach doesn't defile him, it's what comes out of him that defiles him. People were testing Jesus to see what he said about not eating with clean hands (Matthew 15: 2-11 " 2 Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they wash not their hands when they eat bread. 3 But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? 4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; 5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. 6 And honor not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition. 7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophecy of you, saying, 8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me 9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of me. 10 And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: 11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.")  Jesus did not change the law, because he fulfilled it showing that what God said to moses was true and that's the law he lived by. We can't eat anything we want. You only have 1 life to live, so we should make it count and show God that we are worthy of his kingdom to live forever with him (2 Thessalonians 1:5 "Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:"). Jesus also said if you do or teach one of these least commandments, then we will be called the least in Heaven (Matthew 5:19-21 "Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven 20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. 21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment.;")  We do not want to be the least in the eyes of God, but only great. Going out and teaching his word (1 Corinthians 9:16 "For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!") (Matthew 24:35 "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.")  Doing the right thing for God is hard, because the devil is always there to try to stop you (James 4:7 "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.")

Do no curse anyone out, or have anger toward another person, or toward the deaf. (Ephesians 4:31-32 "31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: 32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.")

(Leviticus 19: 1-32)

Do not have any evil thoughts or feelings toward anybody or anything. That's the devil at you. Resist him, and he will leave. (James 4:7 "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.")

Do not be greedy with anything. Share, and offer everyone a piece of your food or drink or snack that you have. Doing that will please God, because since you did this, you will be greatly rewarded in return by God, because he sees everything. (Luke 6:27-49 "27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, 28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. 29 And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also. 30 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again. 31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. 32 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. 33 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same. 34 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
