You're supposed to attempt to make disciples... only to realize its impossible.

It's not impossible at all.

Well if your idea of a disciple is someone who doesn't hear Jesus' voice and attends a building filled with rock and roll music, then I disagree with you.

No, that is not my idea.  But you're wrong to say that making disciples is impossible.

I have went through the book of Acts and found where Paul was persecuted.

The Persecution of Paul always involved the Jewish religious leaders, Pharasies and the Sadducees.

I never said the Jews didn't persecute Paul, but Paul was opposed and persecuted by Gentiles, as well.   This is the 2nd time I have had repeat that point.

Quote

What we do find in Acts, is that Paul had unbelievers as friends. 

And when Paul wanted to go into the assembly, the disciples would not let him. Also some of the Asiarchs who were friends of his sent to him and repeatedly urged him not to venture into the theater. (Acts 19:30-31)

But you are interpreting "friends" to mean what WE mean and not what it meant to them.  They were not "friends" in the sense of companions that spend time together.  These were people in high social circles.  They had charge over the theater and were favorably disposed to Paul did not to seem him come to danger, but they are not "friends"  in the sense that you are trying to present in this thread.

He hung out with Judas, unless you want to exclude the rest of the disciples from the category of "Sinner"

No, Jesus did not "hang out" with Judas.  Jesus close inner circle of friends was made up of Peter, James and John.  They were the disciples closest to Jesus.

That simply makes the point I made earlier.  Jesus was accessible to sinners and He did not dissociate Himself from them.   But that doesn't mean he "hung out" with them.  It doesn't mean that He was "friends" with them.

I'm not going to argue with you on the definition of "Hanging out."

 I know what the term means and it doesn't fit your description of Jesus.

It would be helpful if you could bring some scripture into this debate so it would be easier to see where you are coming from. In the cases where gentiles were involved, they were always influenced by the Jewish leaders who intentionally stirred up the crowds. 

Are you sure? It looks like the word "friend" is being used in the same context and with the same intent in other parts of the New Testament including when Jesus used the term.

I can see that you are hell bent on promoting anti-Semitism and I am not going to give you an audience for that. I have made my point and I dont' have to explain it to you any further.

No, it doesn't look like that.  Two different contexts and two different usages.

My word. How on earth did a fight break out on a thread with the word "Love" in it's title?

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
