Thanks. A disciple is a student. My favorite Bible verse (Luke 6:40) is related to this.

I’m not sure I understand the point you’re trying to make. Would you care to elaborate on it? Newbies require discipling. They have to mature in the faith.

From my X / Twitter “For you” feed this afternoon - “We are not called to proclaim philosophy and metaphysics, but the simple gospel. Man’s fall, his need of a new birth, forgiveness through atonement, and salvation as the result of faith, these are our battle-ax and weapons of war. - Charles...

“Treat the Muslim like the Muslim treats you (and worse)” isn’t the teaching of Jesus and the apostles.

The glory goes to God and to the Messiah, not to the disobedient Crusaders. They were every bit as evil and vicious as were the Muslims, and in some cases worse.

God, I‘ve suggested, defended Europe and Christianity. It wasn’t overrun by Islam. He used men who did not follow the teaching and example of Jesus to defeat men who did not follow the teaching and example of Jesus to accomplish his purpose. Always obey the instruction and example of Jesus...

“Your theology won’t be proven in the classroom, but in the hard times of life.” - Josemar Bessa

“It is often a strategic mistake to silence a man, because it leaves the world under the impression that he had something to say.” - G.K. Chesterton

I’ve visited both. The Jews were uncomfortable at the prospect of my presence when they cursed the Nazarene and his followers in that part of their service. Knowing that it was coming, they asked me (politely insisted) to step out until it was over. I was escorted back into the service and...

That’s true. Have you ever visited a synagogue? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birkat_haMinim

In respect to the brave, who is braver? Those who obey the teachings of Jesus or those who do not?

Obeying the teaching of Jesus to his followers on conduct toward enemies would not have ended the existence of Christians, nor would it have resulted in there only being Islam everywhere. Did God use those who didn’t follow the teaching of Jesus to defend Europe from Islamic invasion? I think...

Would an unbelieving Jew smash Jesus if he or she could?

Does “Israeli soldier smashes a statue of Jesus” = “Israeli soldier smashes Jesus”?

Actions have consequences. That resonates with me.

An unbelieving Jewish soldier intentionally broke a statue of Jesus. The Christian community worldwide was, for the most part, upset by the incident and outspoken in its criticism. Yes. No. Do you think God told the unbelieving Jewish soldier to destroy the statue?

Do you approve of the unbelieving Jew smashing the statue? Do you think his punishment by the Israeli military is unjustified? Would you endorse a believers crusade to destroy all such statues, wherever they exist in the world / churches / private homes?

From my X / Twitter “For you” feed this morning - “‘Imprecations’ in the Psalms aren’t an embarrassment to be managed. If you have a problem w / imprecations, the Bible isn’t the problem. You are! If they make you uncomfortable, that’s no reason to avoid or edit - but to learn ‘how’ to preach...

Do you think the statue of Jesus is an idol?
