[Just mythoughts]

.....Jesus would never have developed his philosophy at all, if he hadn’t grown out of a much older and very deep one. Instead of trying to find superficial ‘reasons’ why many Jews didn’t accept Christ, maybe it would be enlightening to actually learn something about Judaism and why it is sufficient to those who hold it sacred.

Exactly where do you get power and authority to speak for Christ. Stick to the Scripture... people are given the 'right' to choose what path they will take. Christ is the same yesterday, today, and will be forever ... He was God with us, regardless of what any other religions claim.

[Jamestown1630]

I am not attempting to speak for Jesus, but I too have a mind and beliefs - and I don’t believe God gave them to me to be a impediment to faith but an aid.

Here, I’m addressing a thread that seems unnecessarily provocative - intended to be that way! - and arrogant.

It’s certainly not a useful way to persuade others toward your beliefs. It puts people off, instead.
