Matthew 18-19
Nov. 16th, 2010 09:52 pmJesus says that people who make children who believe in him sin will suffer in hell.
Jesus sees sinners like lost sheep, a shepherd would leave his 99 sheep on the mountains to find the 100th that has gone astray, I'm not sure that's the best way to tend your sheep.
You should try to set your brother back on the straight and narrow by first talking to him alone, if he doesn't repent then take a couple of witnesses with you (intervention!) and then if that doesn't work he must be reported to the church. If he still doesn't listen then he should be treated like he's no longer part of the family.]
Jesus sets out the rules of marriage as being between one man and one woman, which seems to the first time polygamy is frowned upon. His followers don't appreciate his rules on divorce and decide that it'd be better not to marry so Jesus says they should become Eunuchs.
Jesus is brought little children to lay his hands on.
Jesus lists the commandments you should follow, it seems to be the ones that noone should have a problem with: do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honour your father and mother, and love your neighbour as yourself. Also, sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, because it is hard for rich people to get in to heaven. The people Jesus will honour the most are the ones who leave their families and homes to follow Jesus.
