The job of the Christian is limited to sharing the Gospel, not imposing it by force or threats. Christians are taught by no less an authority than the Lord Himself, “And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.”
- Hal Lindsey -
So you couldn’t find any scriptures that tell us of our responsibility to preach the Gospel? And that to the Jew first?
Couldn’t find anything like that, huh?
Actually, if Ann was at fault, IMHO, it would have been for giving Deutsch more benefit of the doubt than proper, regarding his grasp of fundamentals in Judaism and what Christianity means. When she used the terms ‘to make perfect’, she was repeatedly interrupted. That was an indicator of spiritual warfare, wherein the opponent was being influenced in his thinking by whatever counter thought first came to his mind.
His arguments indicated he interpreted the issue as a racial one in bigotry, rather than an understanding of spiritual victory which God provides when He saves His people.
For every believer through faith in Him, there are various gifts being implemented daily. Had Deutsch been a believer in fellowship with God by what He provides, even as a Jew through faith in the types presented in the Pentateuch, he would have manifest patience in his understanding of the issue, rather than leaping to soulish rationalism.
I don’t judge if he is a believer or unbeliever, but I do discern the spiritual warfare which involved the human domain.
