Subject: why do we have to call Jesus -Lord Jesus |
Bible Note: You make a lot of assumptions Doc. Do you honestly think that there were no unbelievers in Israel. Zacchaeus was a tax collector. Why would he have to know anything. I know many jewish people. I know many Messianic jews and I have known and worked for and with many others, some extreme orthodox some religeous and some Jews by birth with no desire to know God or have anything to do with the spiritual aspect of the culture that was their birthright. There is nothing in the scriptures that even hints that Zaccheus wanted anything to do with these things. He also lived in a time when a lot of people were turned away from the faith by the hypocritical abuses of the pharisees. They as you probably know were a sect that came into being to call Israel back to a respect for Gods Scriptures. But pride and the flesh had taken them to point that they opposed God when He did come to them. There were times in Israel when no one knew anything about the scriptures because they had been ignored for so long that there was not even a copy in existence that they knew of. There have always been religeous zealots and apathetic people that could not care less for their incredible birthright. I have no idea what you are referring to when you refer to pointless emotionalism. I am certain that there are times when you feel passion for Christ or the Holy Spirit or the Father. What is pointless about passion that is from or towards God. I am not attempting to be sarcastic. I really do not know what you are talking about. I understand the meaning and there is obviously lots of pointless emotionalism in the world however I do not see it in respect to what we are discussing. |
