And Jesus, as truth (Jn 14:6) said he fulfiled to the dot (Matt 5:17-19), and asked the Father to sanctify us in his truth (Jn 17:17). The Father said he sanctified the emerging nation of the Jew in his law (Exod 31:12-18) with very clear instruction (Num 12:1-9).

Genesis 28:22 is the end of a reflection that Jacob had while on a journey back to his father's home in Haran. He stopped for the night in a city called Luz.

A couple thousand years ago in a hospital because Muhammed hit his head and couldn't remember anything about him or his friends. Jesus and Abraham sat in a room and talked about many things. Including who they were, who believed in them, their book, their symbol, and where they went to worship.

Lev 18:22You must not have sexual intercourse with a male as one has sexual intercourse with a woman; it is a detestable act. This straightforward law prohibits all homosexual acts.

For you cross land and sea to make one convert, and then you turn that person into twice the child of hell you yourselves are!”
