are NOT prophecies of Jesus? When I first read these verses I instantly knew they were talking about Jesus and this was BEFORE anyone told me that this was supposed to be about Jesus.
That being said, how would you counter someone that says otherwise?
And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. . . " Mark 16:15
When Jesus said to go and to preach the gospel He never said to argue with them.
. . . " I planted,Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. . . "1Corinthians 3:7
The Apostle Paul explained that many different people are used in the witnessing and saving of lost souls. We need to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit's leading, so as not to push anyone away. We want to draw all men unto Him , not repel all men away from Him.
Hope that this helps you.
If you knew anything about Judaism, you would know that the Jewish messiah was not considered a deity, just a man chosen by god to free the Jews of the Roman occupancy.
Christianity was invented by Saul/Paul. It's a mixture of pagan mystery religion, Gnosticism, and Stoicism among other things.
"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches...Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies...and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not...and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives...."
I don't. If they really don't believe that, there's little point in arguing with them. Witnessing and cramming your point of view down somebody else's throat are two different concepts.
