@eagle_greg@byroncarroll Jesus was not talking to Jews/Israelites but Pharisees and chief priests,the people entrusted with the kingdom.
"When the chief priest and Pharisees perceived He was talking about them,they sought to kill Him but feared congregation"
Mat 21:45. Let's shun malice against Israel.
@DineshDSouza Jesus meant it that way,there is nothing metaphorical about it. Infact,those who are so careful in readibd and looking for metaphorical meaning err a lot.
The Bible is simple and strsight forward.
@smashbaals Stop misleading,men of old before death and resurrection of Jesus were not Christians. It's in Antioch that Appostles were nick named Christians.
@travismsnow "Judeo Christian" brigade is creating evil scene. Christians believe the Bible in it's totallity including the Jewish lineage of Jesus. Every Christian needs no argument on this and debating this matter is painting bad picture on Christians against our beloved Jewish people.
@Wesley_Todd_ If people cant believe by the simplicity of the gospel,it's complexity agravates the matter; calling Jesus God,Whether Jesus was a Christian or not,e.t.c will make you sound and look theologically wise but spiritually lost.
@MickMilee Reading the Bible from Creation to Revelation: through covenants with His people Israel to sending His son Jesus and seeing existence of the very Country of Israel in it's physical form.
@TulipPatriot Jesus was/is not a Christian.
"CHRISTIAN" is a moniker given to Appostles in Antioch for being Christ like. It wasn't given in good faith remember.
@MasterMaliq It is enough that Jesus died for me,and that God raised Him to eternal life and gave Him all authority in heaven and on earth. I need no further arguements. If you feel as a son the title is still small for you,Calling Him God won't help.
@belle_liuu Even when God was disapointed by King Solomon and all subsequent evill kings,He repearedly said "for my servant David,i will keep my covenant" to preseeve his kingdom forever.
@DefiyantlyFree For hatred of Jews,people will try to detach Jesus from Abraham,Jacob and David.
If anyone habour such mindset,don't waste time with such. Jews are blessed,i say this as a Christian from Kenya.
@Fair_and_Biased Are people still debating the geneology of Jesus? Something clearly outlined in Mathew? If you don't know the Bible,how did you believe? How do you cultivate your Christianity?
@needGod_net Why do you evade Baptism while Jesus said it clearly in Mark 16:16 that aฤบl should be baptized? Why rationalize the gospel? If it's hard for people to obey any part of the gospel,let them leave it in totallity. Don't try to "make it friendlier than Jesus" gave it.
