Jesus is impolite. Deal with it.
We get a lot of lukewarm Christians who mostly agree with our teachings, yet accuse us of turning people away from Jesus by being too rude. Here is someone who thought as they did, but is having a spiritual awakening as he realizes that, yes, Jesus was not honey-mouthed diplomat, but a straight-talking maverick who called a sinner a sinner: Quote:
His crisis of faith is due to the preachers who tried to hide the real Jesus from him. So don't tell us that you know more about bringing people to Jesus than Jesus does. Jesus is rude, he is attention-grabbing, charismatic, he shocks people, he wakes them up, makes them snap out it, and do what needs to be done to escape damnation. Update: a few of Christ's favorite slurs: "DOGS" Matt. 7:6 Jesus said, "Give not that which is holy unto the dogs" (see also 2 Peter 2:20-22, Rev. 22:15) "SWINE" Matt. 7:6 "...neither cast your pearls before swine" "HYPOCRITES" Matt.6:2 "...as the hypocrites in the synagogues..." (see also Matt.6:5, 16, 15:7, 16:3, 22:18, 23:13-15, 29, 24:51, Mark 7:6, Luke 11:44, 12:56) "CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL" John 8:44 "You are of your father the devil..." (see also Acts 13:10) "PERVERSE" Mat. 17:17"...O faithless and perverse generation" (see also Luke 9:41, Acts 20:30, Phil. 2:15, 1Tim. 6:5) "REPROBATE" 2Cor 13:5-7 "...except ye be reprobates" (see also Rom 1:28, 2Tim. 3:8, Tit. 1:16) "HEATHEN" Mat. 6:7 "...as the heathen do" (see also Mat.18:17, Act 4:25, 2Cor. 11:26, Gal. 1:16, 2:9, 3:8) "FOOLS" Mat. 23:17 "...Ye fools and blind" (see also Luke 12:20, 1Cor.15:36, Mat.23:19, Luke 11:40, 24:25, Eph. 5:15) "WICKED AND ADULTEROUS" Mat. 16:4 "A wicked and adulterous generation" (see also Mat. 12:45, 13:49, 18:32, 21:41, 25:26, Luke 19:22, 1Cor. 5:13, 2Thes. 3:2, 2Pet. 2:7, 3:17) |

Re: Jesus is impolite. Deal with it.
From "Noobs" please read this before posting.:
Please read Matthew 23, to see how Jesus went about winning souls. 1 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, 2 Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: 3All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. 4 For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. 5 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, 6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, 7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi. 8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. 9A And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. 10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. 11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. 13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. 14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. 15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves. 16 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor! 17 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold? 18 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty. 19 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift? 20 Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon. 21 And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein. 22 And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon. 23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. 24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. 25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. 26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. 27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. 28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. 29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, 30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. 31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. 32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. 33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? 34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: 35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. 36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation. 37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! 38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. 39 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. If Jesus had believed that being rude didn't convert people, there would be no Christianity today. |

Re: Jesus is impolite. Deal with it.
When I met Jesus a couple of months ago he seemed very polite, although he was somewhat younger than I expected.

It sure is wonderful whenever the truth comes out and those Lukewarm Christians see the faults in their ways! Hopefully they accept the truth and can become TrueChristians™, but I won't hold my breath.

Re: Jesus is impolite. Deal with it.
Is Jesus intolerant?
http://cdnet.myxer.com/tn/c/917483/b...20081007222556 Jesus has little tolerance for sin. |

Re: Jesus is impolite. Deal with it.
Yet our very nature is that we were born in sin and that we shall die in sin as well. The way to Heaven and to the right hand of God is that you accept Christ as your lord and saviour and through His blood on the cross our sins are covered over, not wiped clean. Our very conception is sin as well, for it has been widely believed that procreation is the ORIGINAL sin. Our very existance itself is sin. If you so much as have a perverse thought, it is a sin that leaves a stain on your soul. Which is why you repent and BEG the forgivness of God to not damn you to the pits of hell.

Or, for that matter, the rest of God's Word, the Holy KJV? I'm thinking not. You're bound up in that feelgood "we are all sinners, no matter what, so God has to let everybody into Heaven who asks nicely" nonsense. That leads only one place: :sinner: |

It's obvious that you consider their faith as so many fairy tales, so what do you rely on that tells you homosexuals are somehow lesser or not as worthy as other human beings? You must hold that belief, or you wouldn't consider "fagot" (sic) to be an insult. To put it simply, if you're not a True Christian™, why are you a H8r? :angry: PS it's spelled "faggot".

Re: Jesus is impolite. Deal with it.
As I'm starting to read the Bible, I'm reading over stories that describe Jesus as impolite and down right cruel to others. And seeing Jesus like that, feels good knowing that the God that I want to worship and follow, isn't in the business in making everyone happy.
I worship and follow without questioning the Bible and what it teaches me, and I'm very proud to be following a God that loves to be cruel and impolite. Not everyone wants to be saved by Jesus and not everyone is equal to the children that He has chosen to rule His world. I'm sure those people are given a chance to run into His arms to be saved; but I'm glad the happy face from Jesus isn't anything they'll probably see. |

I will not disobey God by not speaking the true meaning of His message, just to make other people feel comfortable in the lies that they've been told throughout their whole lives. I'm more afraid of the power of Jesus Christ and what He would do to me, for not standing up to those types of people. If I'm not true to His word, than I'm no different from those same people that are attacking us on this website. And when I read their posts, I know I'm nothing like them at all! Thank God. |
