He rebuked the woman at the well for her "husbands". He did nothing of the sort. He revealed that he knew about her husbands, but made no statements of condemnation or rebuke. He actually offered her "living water". |

I don't recall Him saying one word to her about repentance or judgment, and the next thing you know they're discussing worship. . .despite her apparent state of unrighteousness. That's because He advocated Monogomy and she had laid with several men. I understand that, but AC states that He rebuked her, and I don't think He did any such thing. The first thing He said to her was "Give me a drink of that". she was supposedly shocked that he would even speak to her, a woman and a Samaritan, whom most jewish people despised. the Sam.s only had the 1st five books of the Bible yet she knew from prophesy in them that it was time for the Messiah to appear. She was the 1st person to whom he revealed that he was the messiah. He told her 'all the things [she] did' like having 5[?] husbands and living w/ a man not her husband,not to rebuke her but to show his special powers, I think. this was not showing off, but was for her benefit so she would not be like this: matthew 23:37 “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the killer of the prophets and stoner of those sent forth to her,—how often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks together under her wings! But YOU people did not want it. 38 Look! YOUR house is abandoned to YOU. 39 For I say to YOU, YOU will by no means see me from henceforth until YOU say, ‘Blessed is he that comes in Jehovah’s name!’” or this:Luke 13:31 In that very hour certain Pharisees came up, saying to him: “Get out and be on your way from here, because Herod wants to kill you.” 32 And he said to them: “Go and tell that fox, ‘Look! I am casting out demons and accomplishing healing today and tomorrow, and the third day I shall be finished.’ 33 Nevertheless, I must go on my way today and tomorrow and the following day, because it is not admissible for a prophet to be destroyed outside of Jerusalem. 34 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the killer of the prophets and stoner of those sent forth to her—how often I wanted to gather your children together in the manner that a hen gathers her brood of chicks under her wings, but YOU people did not want [it]! 35 Look! YOUR house is abandoned to YOU. I tell YOU, YOU will by no means see me until YOU say, ‘Blessed is he that comes in Jehovah’s name.’” er even dis won:41 And when he got nearby, he viewed the city and wept over it, 42 saying: “If you, even you, had discerned in this day the things having to do with peace—but now they have been hid from your eyes. 43 Because the days will come upon you when your enemies will build around you a fortification with pointed stakes and will encircle you and distress you from every side, 44 and they will dash you and your children within you to the ground, and they will not leave a stone upon a stone in you, because you did not discern the time of your being inspected.” So then this Samaritan woman goes into her village and tells the men, respectfully, "may this not perhaps be the messiah?" And THEN they all runs out excited -like and by sum questiones determines dat "WHY YES IT IS THE MESSIAH!" Sorry,dint look it up fer yuins septin tew ezzackly quote them scrips, the wons I ezzackly quoted-like? An PLEASE LAWDY! DON'T let enny a' that I jess wroted have ENNYTHING to dew with that P-word man [Paul], they git so worked up over on here! |

And wasn't it always because they doubted that He would or could do something beneficial? Quoting: MuadDib987 (nli) Aren't the Pharisees the only group He ever got ugly with? Wasn't He called the "Friend of sinners"? Did He even once refute this assertion? Yep..he could not stand religious arrogant bigots. Ordinary sinners he healed and fed and looved REGARDLESS of whether they followed him or not. He had this thing called mercy and compassion for them...unlike 99% of christians today. |

Dude , you have a few different antichristian threads / negative styled questions on christ running at this time now , so are you that hate filled or are you that interested and don't have the social skills to seek the truth ? If it is the latter , then I would not worry to much what others think. For if the world hates you fo seeking jesus, know that it hated Jesus first and if you are hated for the following Jesus , then know , you have passed from death to life , so , seek and you will find , knock and the door will be opened . If it is about hate then I feel sorry for you , the fact so many negative hate filled threads exist on this web site is a testament to the truth of the bible . |

God does not require those who repent to enter into his grace, God requires you love one another. The highest form of repentance you can do is in the privacy of your own life, in the silent part of your soul! Then peacefully make peace with your maker for any and all things you did or was done to you by others. The path to God is love, and because got is LOVE you cannot repent unless love dwells in your heart, because this is the way to God. Repentance because of religion due to shame or dogma is not love, that's judgement. God judges the wicked and the righteous, but be sure never to call yourself holy or righteous, because that is prideful stance. Love is unconditional, love never lies. |
