I’m starting to get really annoyed at the appropriation by TikTok theologians of the Jewish Jesus who fulfilled Scripture. If I’ve seen it once, I’ve seen it a dozen times or more the claim that Jesus was simply Palestinian (with no mention that He was a Jew or the Son of God). The word Palestine, […]
A usual baby born in a natural way to any man in David’s family line like Joseph and any usual woman in Bethlehem. Nothing supernatural. He’d grow up to be powerful because he had good genes, the right education taught by premier academics, the right path opened for him by his parents’ and political connections, […]
Jesus’ birth was more political than His death. The whole world was more than content to crucify Jesus after He’d been around for a while. Sure the angels proclaimed His birth to the Jews, but that was long ago, and it didn’t turn out like they’d thought it should. In the end, it didn’t matter […]
. Jesus’ mom was Jewish. His Dad is God. To all the so-called church leaders out there diminishing His birth by removing all celebrations because of the war between Hamas and Israel, is that what Jesus would do? Wow, there’s strife in the world among men. I guess we should put communicating peace with God […]
There’s a difference between not complicating the very simple message of the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and what’s going on in the city of His birth this Christmas. Church leaders have made the decision considering the war in a totally separate area of the West Bank (Gaza) to eliminate all “unnecessarily […]
Any political or religious movement that relishes, welcomes, or pursues death of any part of humanity (young, old, religious, ethnic, etc.) has no part in the Christian worldview. Beware of any political or religious ideology that seeks the death of Jesus’ heritage or the faith movement He began. . Seriously, is this that hard a […]
Jesus wasn’t a Christian. There were no Christians then. Jesus was born Jewish, raised Jewish, taught according to Judaism, and died as a Jew. Accept it. . Questions for further thought: Why do people want to diminish Jesus’ heritage as a Jew? Are they ashamed of Him? In many churches, pastors are afraid of sounding […]
To a paranoid political ruler like Herod, nothing could be worse than this visit from the Magi. Matthew 2:1 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem 2 and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? […]
You can’t say Jesus’ entrance to this earth wasn’t political. He was “born King of the Jews” (Matthew 2:1-2). . Aside from the fact that the Jews had a king whom nobody really liked (Herod), Jesus’ being born King of the Jews did not fit the profile of the expected Messiah. The Messiah would not […]
John 4:25 The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything to us.” Everyone in the Jewish and Samaritan communities had expectations of the Messiah. No one expected that He would be such trouble. Except perhaps Simeon who was moved by the Spirit to bless the […]
