Larry David expresses his religion by peeing on a picture of Jesus.
A nebbish was driving down a street under the scorching sun. He had an important meeting and when he reached the building where the meeting was going to be held, he discovered that there was no vacant space to park his car.
Desperate and confused, he looked up and said, “God, take pity on me and find me a parking place. If you do so, I will visit the synagog daily, donate half of my this month’s salary and give up alcohol for the rest of my life.”
Miraculously, an empty parking place appeared out of nowhere in front of the him. The nebbish pleased by the discovery, looked up and said, “Nevermind, I found one myself!”
Timothy 9 for 26
Jesus cured 10 lepers, but only one gave thanks. Maybe, Tim Tebow is trying to teach us something. We should be thanking Him (Jesus) every day for His love and mercy.
I once told a Jewish friend that he may not believe in Jesus, but we both have the same Father. I pray that one day they will understand that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. Without their persecution of Him, scriptures would not be fulfilled. But God is making a way for those that believe and trust.
Religious Jews know that man has sinned, and will continue as long as they breathe. They also ask for forgiveness from those they have wronged, repentance and a way to right the wrong. Other than that, a great many do not believe in erasure of sins through anothers, or an animals sacrifice. This is the crux of the difference between Jews and Christians. We tell them that Christ died for our sins, and they say WHY? They are much more tied into living a “clean” life, than accepting what is by nature sinful, and asking forgiveness from God, or IAM. This makes them natural liberals. They will EARN salvation, through helping others.
First answer how many tens of thousands of famous Christians didn’t thank God “like Tim Tebow”?
Come to think of it, how many “famous Jews” are there that wear religion on their sleeve like Tim Tebow?
My Yarmulka, which I wear at all times, except in the shower or swimming, is my very public expression of awareness and thanks to G-d.
A simple question, but not a simple answer. Not all Christians, famous or otherwise, acknowledge God as readily as some. Many have been lulled into silence because they do not want to offend. But the Bible tells us that the Gospel will offend, so we need to get over it and should unapologetically share the Gospel with a world that is literally going to Hell. It if hated Jesus Christ, it will hate us--the servant is not better that his master.
But I believe that most Jews do not really believe God. (It's a social/political association for most. The same could be said for many so-called Christians.) Jesus said that if they had in fact believed Moses and prophets, they would have believed Him.
For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of Me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words? (John 5:46)
It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh to me. (John 6:45)But there is hope:
(1) Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. (2) For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. (3) For being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. (4) For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth...(12) For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. (13) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:1-4, 12-13)
Jesus is the exclusive path to God. (John 14:6)
