"Why should I? Don't you already believe I can't?" - Richy
-- What an awesome opportunity to educate me in front of others. I simply stated that your scriptures do not support your statement. You stating the "I believe they do" does not make your position any more accurate or believable.
"It would not matter what I said you will just ignore it." - Richy
-- That is a statement usually given by a person who simply can't make their case. Educate me (my positions have been strengthened or altered by imput from this site on more than one occasion). If you make your case and I refuse to accept it, you look good and I look unreasonable. Where is the downside for you?
So here we go:
"The only reason given for the sheep to be able to go in is the fact that they blessed the Jews. " - Richy
-- Which specific scripture(s) show that when Jesus says "Whenever you have done it to the least of my brothers, you have done it unto me" he is speaking only about to the degree of which they did or didn't do something to the Jews?
"The scripture account says nothing about their belief, faith, trust, confidence in the work of Jesus on the cross." - Richy
-- And that scripture (or any other from what I can see) doesn't state that it is referring to the treatment of Jews by Gentiles. That is why I am asking for a specific verse which supports that idea. That SPECIFIC idea.
We are saved because we have given our lives to Jesus. But Jesus does expect our relationship with Him to be proactive. That means he expects us to assist those we see in need if and where we can.
Some He calls to preach. Some He calls to teach. But He calls all to emulate Him. That means we do more than just go to church, tithe, and do Bible studies. If we have given our lives to Jesus but ignore those who are starving, thirsty, hospitalized, imprisoned, alone, etc. doesn't it stand to reason He is going to have an issue with that?
"Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction..." - James 1:27
-- James wasn't just speaking to Jews or saying this should be done just for Jews. Also, 'visit' is an action verb. That means Jesus expects us to do this as Christians. If we do not do what Christ calls us to do as his followers..."And the King will answer and say to them, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you have not done it to the least of these My brethren, you've not done it unto Me.'
