Subject: How does one "take offense at" the Lord? |
Bible Note: Ray Repeatedly on this forum the Jews are mentioned as having rejected Jesus as the Messiah. If the bible I read is correct the "church", the followers of the Way, in the begining were Jews. It was the religous leaders, those back at headquarters, who refused to hear the message and believe the truth. For a long time the church had more Jewish believers in it than gentiles. Accepting the truth is no different today. When truth is spoken which is contrary to religion the truth is considered heresy. Example Martin Luther. Saved by faith was considered a heresy to the existing religous leaders, just as the teachings of Christ were a stumbling block to those religous leaders of Jesus time. The Pharasees, the Saducees, and the scribes and teachers of the Law had a hard time believing Jesus. Yet there were some who believed, 11 at first. Nicodemus, Joseph of Arimathaea to name but two. Then there were 120 whose names escape me, then 3000 and more and more after that. So your last statemant is not true since those who wrote the quotes you use are Jews. We must remember our roots. Check it out it's all in the Book. In Christ Asis |
