1 John 2:23
Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father. He that confesseth the Son, hath the Father also.
***working to maintain the divide***
The divide is that one must confess that Christ is the Son of God, the Messiah. If you deny the Son, you do not have the Father. As Christians we cannot continue to try and find an end run around this for the Jewish people. They must confess Christ. This states they do not want to be proselytized. As a Catholic, I don’t understand how they can agree not to share the Gospel, especially with the Jewish people, when Christ specifically said to preach the Gospel to all! If we truly love the Jewish people, then we must share the greatest News the world has ever known!!
Share yes, division - no!
2 Timothy 2:
... a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth, and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will.
