Jesus told us to spread the gospel, but He also said not to cast our pearls before swine and to shake the dust off our feet. I believe He was telling us to proclaim, teach the willing listeners, and ignore those that reject the Word. He never argued with the scribes, Pharisees, and Sadducees. He told them the Truth and let them accept or condemn themselves by their own actions.

As I’ve said before, most of what I write is those that might be listening. The naysayers will come into the religion forum for one purpose, to cast doubt in the minds of those on the fence.

I used to try to convince, cajole, and otherwise argue someone into believing. I never found debate to ever bring anyone to their knees before Christ. It was wasted effort better spent speaking with those that the Lord had already prepared to hear His message. Occasionally, I would find someone who was open but argumentative. As long as the dialog was not stagnant, then I would share Biblical verses to answer questions. Sometimes the Lord opened their heart and sometimes I had to let God try again with someone else or not.

I think I know the when the discussion is going nowhere. And again, I’m not trying to bring anyone to their knees before Christ. I think only God can do that.

I'm not in the business of saving souls. That is God's work. All He asks is that I be willing to spread the Word. I'll leave the results up to the Holy Spirit.

I’m not sure where this is coming from but I hope you realize we are both on the same page with this one.

Friend, the "best and the brightest" have a tendency to get us stuck where we don't belong.
Having a high IQ doesn't mean a thing if you don't have the common sense to balance it.
I may not have a "high IQ" according to your standards, but I have survived this long. I view many of my brothers in uniform the same way. I ask you man to man not to equate "intelligence" with circumstance. I believe your wording can be misconstrued as insulting to others (though not to me....one develops a thick hide when he has brother soldiers he must enable to survive also).
Just some friendly advice.:howdy:

If I may add to this, it takes an incredible individual to have the capacity to volunteer to sarifice everything for their country as our military folks do. This have nothing to do with IQ and everything to do with love those they die to protect. No standard measure can be placed on this.

Amen.

Mark 9:38-41

38John said to Him, "Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us."

39But Jesus said, "Do not hinder him, for there is no one who will perform a miracle in My name, and be able soon afterward to speak evil of Me.

40"For he who is not against us is for us.

41"For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because of your name as followers of Christ, truly I say to you, he will not lose his reward.

Soldiers truly approach the walk of Jesus. Soldiers are willing to give their lives, their all, to protect their country.

Jesus gave His all to save us.

So why don't the Jewish believe that Jesus was the Messiah?
Click to expand...

Some do. In those days they rejected Him because they perceived Jesus coming in great glory and would instill awe in them. They believed the coming of Christ would be an event that was, without a doubt, Him. Because the leaders of the Church in those days had propped themselves up so high they just knew Christ would appear to them in a much higher stature. It was impossible for them to believe the Christ would be born from such humble beginnings and live so poorly among them. Jesus, to them, was an ordinary man. In fact he was under-ordinary. He was poor, He had no home, and He hung out with poor people and sinners. And the worst part was He rejected the religious leaders and their teachings. He was highly critical of them. That was the last thing they would have expected from the Christ. He turned thousands of years of tradition and practices upside down.

They were wrong. And over time this became the belief within the Jewish faith.

Nope, don't think that's the correct asnswer.

Any Jewish people on here that can give us the TRUE Jewish answer, and not what the Christians believe?

Wait a minute... you said mine isn't the correct answer then tell me what it is... don't keep looking for someone else to give it to you until you get the answer you want. I gave an answer, you rejected it, substantiate your claim.

My answer is biblically based.

Heck Jesus's own brother, James didnt believe it, and created a belief Nazarene Jews about Jesus the man.

According to Nazarene Jews, Jesus was a Jewish man who was executed and later given divine status by the Christian church. They believe Jesus was a founder of a religious movement, or more specifically of the sect of the Nazarenes within Judaism.

jesus was just a martyr, who was given devine status by people who wanted to believe in something that could free them from oppression

Tommy proves the entire premise of this thread wrong every day. There are idots who are atheist, just as there are incredibly intelligent people who are religious. There is no link between intelligence and spirituality.

Christianity based, not Jewish based, or Jewish biblically based.

Jewish don't use the New Testament do they? it's easy to use CHRISITANINTY as proof of Christ being the saviour.
