RE: Jesus cured 10 lepers, but only one gave thanks.
Yes, and if I recall correctly he was a SAMARITAN.
Luke Chapter 17 states that Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. I don’t know if the ten were Samaritans or not. It mattered only that they believed in His healing power.
I am not rejecting Judaism. As I said before, I consider Jews as my brothers and sisters. God is our Father.
But, please read the Book of Acts. There, you will find one man that served God to his last dying breath.
His name was Saul, who was a learned member of the Sanhedrin. Saul persecuted Christians until the Spirit of Christ confronted him on his way to Damascus.
From that moment on, he spent the rest of his life as a believer in Christ. He was still serving as God had chosen him to do. Many did not trust him, neither his Jewish brethren, nor some Christians, because of his prior mission for the Sanhedrin. Still, his entire trust was in God.
I am not trying to argue, nor persuade. I am only opening my heart and sharing my feelings.
Thank you for this post.
