They should've recognized him as the Messiah because he is the complete fulfillment of scripture. Many were caught up in religiosity rather than true abidence to the Laws of Moses. <br /><br />As for the intial discussion, the scriptures [Deut 6:6-7] ask that I raise my children studying the Bible day and night. It's difficult to do this with a person who does not accept the scriptures as an authority (i.e., not Christian). <br /><br />It seems that you're interested in the scriptures. I know you enjoy philosophy which is probably what leads to your love of exegesis. I hope you pursue your intereste not only with your mind, but with your heart. <br /><br />Don't allow Christians to block you from Christ.<br /><br />I'll trackback to your blog posts.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15171507692922556089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619509381079587754.post-80608081055047885662009-09-18T09:51:12.442-07:002009-09-18T09:51:12.442-07:00Thanks for stopping by and putting in your thought...Thanks for stopping by and putting in your thoughts on each of the posts, I have replied accordingly.<br /><br />Jesus was only an improvement over the barbaric acts of the old testament not a model of morality either. In fact, Jesus preferred his "salvation" was for *just* the Jews, exclusively for the Jews. A bit shocking? Bare with me here. <br /><br />Mark 7:26-28 [Amp. Bible] writes:<br /><br />"Now the woman was a Greek (Gentile), a Syrophoenician by nationality. And she kept begging Him to drive the demon out of her little daughter.<br /><br />And He said to her, First let the children be fed, for it is not becoming or proper or right to take the children's bread and throw it to the [little house] dogs.<br /><br />But she answered Him, Yes, Lord, yet even the small pups under the table eat the little children's scraps of food."<br /><br />Apostle Paul was the one responsible for spreading the "good news" outside of the Jew would. This he constantly referred too by most times emphasizing in this manner (often trying to for cable bridge the gap):<br />"For we hold that a man is justified and made upright by faith independent of and distinctly apart from good deeds (works of the Law). [The observance of the Law has nothing to do with justification.]<br /><br />Or is God merely [the God] of Jews? Is He not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,<br /><br />Since it is one and the same God Who will justify the circumcised by faith [[a]which germinated from Abraham] and the uncircumcised through their [newly acquired] faith. [For it is the same trusting faith in both cases, a firmly relying faith in Jesus Christ]. (Romans 3: 28-30, Amp. Bible)<br /><br />I deviate, back to a point. When you raise your kids no choice. It like going through a science school all my life and being told it's my choice to choose between being a scientist an artist or a musician.<br /><br />If you expose your kids to the options, then I agree it is indeed their choice to choose.Delehttp://www.zenecherub.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619509381079587754.post-58386267431240093932009-09-17T13:51:08.580-07:002009-09-17T13:51:08.580-07:00Whew.

I went and posted comments on all your linked blog posts. <br /><br />The Bible shows lessons of people who struggle with moral dilemmas of their time. Jesus came and gave examples of his responses to these dilemmas. Most importantly, those of us who have accepted Jesus Christ, has the Holy Spirit, an internal compass that discerns right and wrong. This does not preclude a Christian from immoral behavior. Romans 3:23 says that we all fall short of the glory of God. <br /><br />I can raise my kids with the tools prayer, daily Bible study, protection of marriage, etc, but it is their choice to accept Jesus as their Savior, not mine. <br /><br />And I agree that religion does not preclude people from being immoral.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15171507692922556089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619509381079587754.post-35205757914584176482009-09-17T04:09:02.887-07:002009-09-17T04:09:02.887-07:00@VH:

Raising kids via the believe that Jesus is a savior presupposes that Christian morality is just. I'm not saying it's not, but let's re-examine the evidence.<br /><br />I'm reminded of a post I made a while ago (http://www.zenecherub.com/2009/06/25/on-god-via-religion-morality-without-a-god/) and another I punned with (http://www.zenecherub.com/2009/09/04/the-irony-of-biblical-morality/) and another (http://www.zenecherub.com/2009/08/03/the-holy-bible-of-rape-for-homophobia/). <br /><br />We all soon start to realize that raising moral kids and raising Christian kids might be too different things and oft times, judging by the reality you and I face everyday, and the religious institution on every corner, religion is eating into morals.Delehttp://www.zenecherub.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619509381079587754.post-15680778392387084682009-09-16T23:47:07.453-07:002009-09-16T23:47:07.453-07:00Dele,

It would make sense that you would want to make a life with someone who shares your values and beliefs. <br /><br />Likewise, I want to share a life with someone who believes that Jesus is their Savior so we have the same foundation to partner through life and raise our children with the same beliefs. <br /><br />Intolerance would be f I started a relationship with you as an atheist, then force a conversion in the process. That's why I wrote it with a smile :).
