So, you’ve rejected Jesus. Why?

[ScottA]

Bs"d

He didn't fulfill the messianic prophecies, and his claim that he was God leads the millions into idolatry, because worshiping a human being is idol worship.

Curious, do you believe that God has appointed a time of revelation for Israel and also a time of revelation for the gentiles? And if so, what do you think, would the message of revelation be exactly the same, or somewhat different?

“I have always felt that one of the obstacles to the Jews at the time accepting Jesus was that he was a bachelor. Uh, Jews have no figures of heroic bachelors.“

Its the religious Jews who have issues with Jesus......not the run of the mill secular Jew who makes up most of the Jewish population.
AS these are like anyone else..they are just sinners enjoying it and are not interested in eternal things.

So, regarding the religious Jews........the reason they wont accept Christ.......has a lot to do with the fact that they feel that they are married to Moses's Law........and to leave that and Join Christ is in their mind...... "adultery".

I agree. Prager is a religious Jew. He gives failure to marry as another reason why unbelieving religious Jews reject Jesus as the Messiah promised by their God.

Has anyone here had the experience of someone telling you that you are the reason that he or she has rejected Jesus? (I’m counseling someone who is telling me that he has.)

 

[Rita]

No, only had the experience that my ex husband blaming My faith for him going off and having affairs. I changed ( Not in a bad way though - but obviously he didn’t like the way Jesus changed me ! )

Not me but counseled others. Heck, I've even accused others of them being the reason I reject Christ. My Pastor spoke about being a witness. IF you are going to be a witness for Christ, be a good witness.

Truth is, some people are not good witnesses and they have to have the humility to grow in their walk with Christ. Humility and forgiveness of their own short comings.

I saw a meme that read, "God wants Spiritual Fruit, not religious nuts." How has this guy not been a good witness for Christ?

I think that’s a great meme!.

He didn't fulfill the messianic prophecies [...]

Jesus fulfilled 351 messianic prophecies, at least.

There are always reasons for why people reject Jesus. There is no good reason to reject Jesus.

“The rejection of Jesus is the highest crime against the great King.” - C.H. Spurgeon

It won’t incur the death penalty. All are subject to that. Recovery is assured.

It will incur the second death penalty. There is no recovery from that.

Those who follow Jesus must do what they can can to help those who are lost find the way to the life of the age to come.

“ … most people don’t reject Jesus for being too harsh.

They reject Him for not doing what they expected.”
