This book discusses the fundamental principles of Christianity that all Christians must know but the fact is that almost all Christians (as well as Bible scholars) around the world do not know or do not understand what the Bible says with true and then causing doctrinal failures and deviating from actual teachings. Everything written in the NT must be based on the OT without conflict, not upside down. Therefore, the OT and the NT must be in harmony without conflict or confusion. The NT teaches the same with the OT to love also to love your enemies, abundant forgiveness, not revenge or vengeance, the OT also teaches unconditional love (agape) same with the NT, and all the teachings in the NT are actually the OT teachings. Because in fact, the OT and the NT tell the same principle without conflict. Truly, modern Christian doctrine commonly today is not fully the same as the teaching of the twelve apostles of Christ Jesus in the 1 century AD. This book discusses (to obtain) in an easy-to-understand way, what the apostles of Christ actually teach in the first century AD, as well as every reader (newbie or scholar) can understand what the Bible says with true. By reading this book the readers can understand that the Bible is the word of God which are amazing than any written work. The discussion of this book is able to guide the reader's mind to God's real purpose. All of us today know that there are many different teaching or doctrine of churches but, ALL DISCUSSIONS in this book are based on ancient Jewish and Christian documents, especially until the 2nd century AD, that the OT teaching is the same as the NT without any clashing and deserves consideration by Christian scholars! Below is a glance at this book: 1. There is a lot of evidence from ancient Jewish documents explaining who is the Jewish Messiah in the OT. 2. This book also explains clearly that Rom 5:15 is actually the law of soul for soul in Exod 21:24. Without the law of soul for soul, there is no redemption of sins by Christ. 3. Amazing for about the law "should be cut off" as in Exod 12:19, which seems harsh and as if God is easy to punish but in fact is very generous, long-suffering, merciful. Contrary to what Christians mean today. 4. Ancient Jewish teach that the Temple in Jerusalem are human bodies and were written by the apostle Paul in the NT, one example is 1 Cor 6:19-20. 5. Explaining the concept of the trinity in the understanding of the 1st and 2nd century AD churches. The trinity verses in the NT that do not appear in the OT, such as John 1:1, Col 1:15, etc. are actually based on the OT and were teach by ancient Jewish a long time before the 1st century AD. 6. Wars in the OT as evidence of God's love to restore the destruction because of sin, and it is based on Exod 21:24. The war still continues until the end of the world and all humans from all generations are involved, no one excluded. 7. Clearly that the law of soul for soul, eye for eye, tooth for tooth as written in the book of Moses is not scary, harsh, or without love. On the contrary, it proves wonderful love. This law is the NT teaching also included in Luke 6:27 to love your enemies. 8. Based on the church document in the 1st or 2nd century AD, this book explains NT passages that are difficult to understand, such as Rom 3:20 and Rom 7:6 that it is as if Christians no longer need to keep the law. Rom 2:13 are saved by keeping the law while Rom 3:20 are not saved by keeping the law? Also explains Eph 2:15 (it seems contrary to Matthew 5:17-18) based on the letter of Barnabas in the 2nd century AD describes Eph 2 is the teaching in the OT to keep the law of Moses, but (maybe) different from what the Christian church teaches today. 9. Based on the church documents in the 1st or 2nd century AD, this book also explains Col 2:16 and Rom 14 about food and drink and certain days, such as the Sabbath, and all of them are the OT teachings.
