Old Testament reasons for Jews to believe in Jesus

[NYCPatsFan]

Obviously, spreading the Gospel brings social tension and disruption. That is always the case when lives are changed. Everybody worships something. If its not God, its money, self, substances, sex, sports,power, entertainment. Whatever it is, we all worship something.

So to accept Christ does require giving up what was worshipped before, not an easy thing for most people.

The question is, what causes more harm, social tension and disruption brought on by spreading the Gospel, or the souls that are lost for eternity.

If you are not a believer, that might not make any sense to you. But if you are a believer, its not even a question.

Maybe we should discuss this in a separate new thread on proselytization.

yes, its those evil missionaries who are causing so much harm in the world.

Yes. George W. Bush.

Yes. George W. Bush.

a whole different thread. Is GW Bush and his actions consistant with Christianity.

Not. Iraq is not a mission to bring Christianity to anyone, it was a cynical grab for oil mixed with revenge, disquised as an answer to 9/11. But like I said, thats a different thread.

also, if Bush read his Bible and knew anything about prophesy, he would understand that this idea of bringing democracy to the Arab world is never going to happen.

oooh, you got me started. But lets not get off topic.

Believers of the Old Testament have plenty of reasons to accept Christ as the Messiah.

I clearly remember him invoking the term "Crusade" at the start of the war.
He's just the latest to put his own spin on Jesus. Like a massive game of "Operator", more spin-doctors playing = more perversions in translation.

exactly, he used "Christianity" in to get elected,but do you really think this war was about "spreading the Gospel of ************"?

of the 10,000 reasons he gave, that wasnt it. it was about revenge and oil.
