.......because they cannot tolerate the words you say about Christ. Those words are foolishness to them.
quote:
"For the preaching of the cross is foolishness to them that perish, but to those who are saved it is the power of God" 1Corinthians 1:15
What is the rationale to continue dialogue with people who are not responsive to what you say - other than to deride you?
How do you justify staying in such a place?
Christ minced no words when he instructed his disciples (is that not who you are?) when He said:
quote:
"Give not that which is holy to the dogs, neither cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet and turn again to rend you" Matthew 7:6
You must have noticed that this is happening in this place?
And heed Christ's admonition in Luke 10, starting with verse 10:
quote:
10 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,
11 Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
12 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.
13 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
14 But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.
15 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.
16 He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.
Does this not apply to you as well?
In view of Christ's instructions, why do you stay? Don't you believe him?
