What, you are happy to use the term but unwilling or unable to define it?

how is 'Jesus in all his glory' defined?

Hmmmm. We see how the religious leaders responded to Jesus. We see how Lucifer responded to Jesus. I guess that's the unanswerable mystery.....how one can hate 'irresistible' love.

How do you cure shortsightedness in one who thinks they have 20/20 vision?

You've articulated the very thing I've stated.....and in the process pridefully scuttled 'love your enemy'

The assumption from many Evangelicals is that if they are on Israel's side they are on God's and if they are not on Israel's side, God will view them badly

Shortsighted with your deduction Scott, shortsighted!

You were clear enough the first time David. I was curious to see if you had something else in mind. Yes, Jesus was referencing what they had heard, no doubt from their religious teachers who propounded the scriptures. Jesus address other things they had also heard from their religious teachers...

What's your point David?

Your reply is pathetic Scott. You resort to blaming me because I drew your attention to a blatant contradiction. Your self styled scholarship is not worth a tinkers toss.

Do I really need to rub your nose in it Scott? .....you who claim special insight? Your inability to see is astounding! Look at the highlighted sections of the two verses above and then tell me there is no contradiction.

Compare the accounts of 1 Chronicles 21:1 and 2 Samuel 24:1

Then why are the same events described by different Prophets contradictory?

Ignoring the frail human factor maintains misunderstanding and the inability to join the dots well. Yes the prophets are delivering a message from God but it's not verbatim....it is filtered through the Prophets current understanding ....and God does not violate the free choice of expression...

Short sightedness and foolishness are bedfellows proudly on display!

Your deductions are incorrect as are your charges....a result of self deception!

Kidding yourself re not interpreting keeps you in the self generated delusion.

Do the Ten Commandments still apply under the new covenant today? This question is thrashed around infinitum because men want licence to break them.....which might I add is as obvious as a train smash! God's Grace (kindness) is manipulated to suit men's carnal inclinations as if God approves.

What do you do with a man who laughs at his own dim wittedness! :doldrums:

Scott, you're a muddled mess when it comes to interpretation!
