Yet, the Father of Christ comes first. Why not seek the father?

Mike, I like to try to keep it in proper perspective with that scripture
wne Jesus says, "I have not come to destroy the law, but to FULFILL the law"..and He did just that on the cross..and what we choose to do with Him is a decision only an individual can make for themselves...

Very true - as Jesus constantly pointed out to the Pharisees.

It's easily understood like this...if you love God, you keep His
commandments.  The first 4 have to do with our relationship to God. The last 6 have to do with our relationship to man.  Love is the fulfillment of the law.

I look at my Christianity as being based on my personal relationship with Christ.......

Didn't Christ teach us to love our neighbor as ourselves?  And doesn't it say in the bible that only God can judge.  So if we try to love our neighbors, then who should tell us that we are doing it wrong?  My sister is always saying to me, you cannot buy your way into heaven, when all i am trying to do is what Christ told me to do, treat others as you would like to be treated.  Why do we insist on judging others?
