"You have heard ... but I say ..."

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.
