Jesus also told his Disciples that if they were not welcomed in a village they should shake the dust of that place off their sandals and move on. Certainly not stick around until they got their butts beat.

Well Mr Crane,

That sounds closer to the teachings of the Watchtower Bible and Printing Society than anything that I have heard in a good few years.

Indeed, but in this context, you have missed the fundamental point. The Jews while not excluded from the New Covenant, were certainly considered to be fallow ground.

I can see the argument opposed, but really, those words were not meant for the conversion of Jews.

Gosh it is late for me. I can in no way express myself properly.

Later.
