Two = One

Mattthew 19:4 And he answered, “Have you not read that he who created them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? 6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.” Jesus says two are joined and not three or four or five like those who stray from the narrow road that leads to life. The reason that the road that leads to destruction is wide is because those who travel it are carrying so much baggage. You have to be weightless to travel through the heavens – even rocket scientists know this. Drop your baggage and rise to meet the Son of God in the clouds when he returns!

The 1000 year old prophecy of the prophet like unto Moses was fulfilled by Jesus

In approximately 1000BC, Moses indicated that there would be a prophet in the future that would be sent by God who would be like Moses. Below is a comparison of the saying of Moses and Jesus that demonstrate that their messages parallel each other. Jesus is the only person in three thousand years who fulfilled that prophecy. There is another group that encompasses the planet that falsely claims that their leader was like Moses. Their leader engaged in adultery, theft, and murder and taught people to oppress and kill their neighbor. That group is currently engaged in warfare in over twenty nations around the globe and falsely claims that their leader was somehow like Moses. Look at the sayings below and decide whether the sayings of Moses and Jesus parallel each other and that Jesus fulfilled the prophecy of the prophet promised by Moses. Jesus and Moses who were sent by God both taught people to love their neighbors as themselves and anyone preaching something else was not sent by God.
