Sorry to hijack…lifelong Phillies fan, celebrating tonight. I have 3 sons and they all became Phillies fans as well. Little things that bring a lot of joy.
Right there with you. Lifelong fan. My dad who died a week ago today was one of those who watched every single game up until a few weeks ago. So this is extra special for us. And it’s awesome because my older son who is at VMI is a huge Phillies fan and we were texting yesterday when Harper hit the game winning home run.

Ahh my friend another misstep on your part

I tried to be graceful and you became smug. Hurts your credibility and you failed to live up to the Christian way

"My Kingdom is not of this world"

That aside, I presume Jesus would be more apt to describe himself as "Christian" than "jewish." As usual, your response mainly attacks an argument I wasn't making. Jesus was born into a jewish lineage, would have been quite the miracle to have been born into a Christian line....How would he avoid jewish culture and be their savior? I asked what Jesus would consider himself....what the rabbis say is rather unimportant. judiasm and Christianity do have a relationship, but that ended with the jews rejection and his ascension

Interestingly, in the most direct passage regarding this manner (Luke 23:3) when pontus pilate asks Jesus if he is king of the jews? Jesus says, "you say so." It seems there are many interpretations and the translation of this passage may be especially controversial. We should also remember that "the fellas" got the Vatican to absolve the jews in Vatican II so one wonders what all has been changed in the current bible versus the original scriptures
Parsing scripture rarely holds up well. Yet again, the Word of God will help correct your misunderstanding.

Jesus' own words:

Matthew 28:18
And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.

Ephesians 1:21
far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.

Matthew 28:18-20
And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Again, Jesus wouldn't refer to himself as a Christian. He is the Messiah. The Christ. He doesn't follow himself as he is the standard bearer. That wouldn't make any logical sense. He is the way, the truth, the life. He is the door. He is the Good Shepherd. He is God.

I do encourage you to get into a good Bible study. You are way off in your understanding of what the Bible actually says about God, Jesus, and all of us.

You will have to take that up with God.

Same here. Single 32 year old and finding single ladies around me who are pure blood has been difficult. Even if you happen to stumble upon one, you better pray she hasn’t been indoctrinated with the woke sjw nonsense that most women around that age have bought into. Spent some time on the dating apps recently...my gosh, seemed like 90% of the profiles were riddled with pronouns, pro choice, voter rights, LGBTQ+, anti racist, yada yada yada the usual garbage.
Just curious, but what part of the country do you live in?

Thankful that I'm not in the market for a lady these days (married), but my kids will be going through that in the next 5-10 years.
