Every time someone "contradicts" what is supposed to
be established as an absolute truth, there will be a reaction, at
least to mental attitude or emotional responses. These are not,
necessarily, to refute, to deny what other think or believed, but to
add something greater and perhaps more true.
Jesus perfected the things heard from the law meeting the things it
said. If I see Him as a simple “sinner”, he have not had moral to
add things to what we did not meet one nor again, Being the ONE that
God chose, the only man on whom His fullness dwelt, God himself
believed and witnessed to what His beloved Son said (being God
Himself the Spirit who spoke within His Son).
There are several quotes in which Christ appeared to having been
"abolished" the Father´s will and what He said. We can
investigate ourselves on Mat_5. 22, 28, 32, 34, 39...
Did Jesus contradict the Father? He just did see anew and improved
His truth.
If someone ever said once: "... the root of all evil is the
love of money ..." (1 Timothy 6:10)
Jesus said something bigger and that is the greatest of human evils.
The real root of our human evils is not loving God first; and is not
loving our neighbor, as we should have loved ourselves (Mark
12:32-33, Luke 10:27). Notice that Paul himself clarified this truth,
otherwise, in Rom_13: 10 “Love
does no wrong to a neighbor; so that compliance with the law is love.
"
It is possible that whoever contradicts a truth suffer apathy,
indifference, even hostility of those who hear it as different
opinion; because it goes against a long-accepted “principle”
teaching, particularly if it goes against what is estimated as a true
in a religious system, because it is against the identity of a group
and that´s the truth every individual is called to defend, privately
or within groups, as it is currently assumed.
Jesus didn´t refuted the Father, and instead, He perfectly “added”
the real significance, fulfilling what He (God) said.
When God sent Jesus He sent Himself:
Mat
21:37
Finally
he sent his son to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.'
Luk
3:22
and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form, like a dove;
and a voice came from heaven, "You
are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased."
Mat
17:5
He was still speaking when, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed
them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my beloved Son,
with whom I am well pleased; listen to him."
Mat
3:17
and behold, a voice from heaven said, "This is my beloved Son,
with whom I am well pleased."
His truth was superior to the practice of His folks and days. His
significance was greater because it was God Himself speaking through
the mouth of His son and (Joh
14:10
Do
you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The
words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority,
but the
Father
who dwells
in me
does his works.) And from my point of
view, such fanaticism for others who aren´t Jesus, won´t take a
long tour to see the cult of personalism to anything that the
apostles might have said, and similarly to a former case, Saul-Paul
also spoke of what he heard his lifetime: 1Co_1 12 “I
mean, every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I
of Cephas; and I of Christ. "And,
being just what I want from myself, I´d say, "1Co_3:
4 For while one saith, I
am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos, are ye not carnal?”
If at old times there was such personalism worshiping fame and
names, present today´s attitude and bias aren´t a great thing we
had and, in relation to Jesus Christ ministry, what´s another man or
woman?
Shaul Paul, the one who once compared to those Jesus chose
(2Co
12:11
I
have been a fool! You forced me to it, for I ought to have been
commended by you. For I was not at all inferior to these
super-apostles, even though I
am nothing.)
said or wrote to us:
1Co_3: 5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos? Servants through whom
you believed; even as far as the Lord assigned each. "
God will judge what I want Him to do within my spirit. I am jealous
of the Lord Jesus The Christ, and my zeal is not for Paul´s or any
men´s teaching.
