Re: A message from JESUS!
Here you go (I don't use KJV, I know you like it, so click on the link thingy on the verse number that pops up and it will read in the version you like)
Old Testament laws don't apply anymore:
Luke 16:16
God's Law and the Prophets climaxed in John;
Now it's all kingdom of God—the glad news
and compelling invitation to every man and woman.
--
Jesus said to love and forgive:
John 13:34 "Let me give you a new command: Love one another. In the same way I loved you, you love one another.
--
Jesus has a serious problem with divorce:
Matthew 19:6 Because God created this organic union of the two sexes, no one should desecrate his art by cutting them apart."
--
Divorce is not allowable for any reason except maybe infidelity:
Matthew 5:32 If you divorce your wife, you're responsible for making her an adulteress (unless she has already made herself that by sexual promiscuity).
--
Pray in the privacy of your own closet:
Matthew 6:
6"Here's what I want you to do: Find a quiet, secluded place so you won't be tempted to role-play before God. Just be there as simply and honestly as you can manage. The focus will shift from you to God, and you will begin to sense his grace.
--
Otherwise you are a hypocrite:
Matthew 6: 5"And when you come before God, don't turn that into a theatrical production either. All these people making a regular show out of their prayers, hoping for stardom! Do you think God sits in a box seat?
--
Sell everything you own:
Luke 18: 22When Jesus heard that, he said, "Then there's only one thing left to do: Sell everything you own and give it away to the poor. You will have riches in heaven. Then come, follow me."
--
Give to the poor:
Luke 12:33"Be generous. Give to the poor. Get yourselves a bank that can't go bankrupt, a bank in heaven far from bankrobbers, safe from embezzlers, a bank you can bank on.
--
If you are comfortable now, don't expect to be in the next life:
Matthew 19:23 As he watched him go, Jesus told his disciples, "Do you have any idea how difficult it is for the rich to enter God's kingdom?
--
Jesus is not a capitalist:
Matthew 6:
24"You can't worship two gods at once. Loving one god, you'll end up hating the other. Adoration of one feeds contempt for the other. You can't worship God and Money both.
--
Jesus is not American:
John 19:21 The Jewish high priests objected. "Don't write," they said to Pilate, "'The King of the Jews.' Make it, 'This man said, "I am the King of the Jews."'"
--
Jesus is not okay with bombing anyone:
Matthew 5:43-45 You're familiar with the old written law, 'Love your friend,' and its unwritten companion, 'Hate your enemy.' I'm challenging that. I'm telling you to love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst. When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the energies of prayer, for then you are working out of your true selves, your God-created selves.
--
Even terrorists:
Luke 6:27-30"To you who are ready for the truth, I say this: Love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst. When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the energies of prayer for that person. If someone slaps you in the face, stand there and take it. If someone grabs your shirt, giftwrap your best coat and make a present of it. If someone takes unfair advantage of you, use the occasion to practice the servant life. No more tit-for-tat stuff. Live generously.
31-34"Here is a simple rule of thumb for behavior: Ask yourself what you want people to do for you; then grab the initiative and do it for them! If you only love the lovable, do you expect a pat on the back? Run-of-the-mill sinners do that. If you only help those who help you, do you expect a medal? Garden-variety sinners do that. If you only give for what you hope to get out of it, do you think that's charity? The stingiest of pawnbrokers does that.
35-36"I tell you, love your enemies. Help and give without expecting a return. You'll never—I promise—regret it. Live out this God-created identity the way our Father lives toward us, generously and graciously, even when we're at our worst. Our Father is kind; you be kind.

Re: A message from JESUS!
Job 13:7 "Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?"
He doesn't like that.
Revelation 22:18 "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:"
Good luck to you.
