So you think this is the core message of Jesus? Please translate into English, I have no idea what it means. Wiki says about this verse: "this verse is a rare relic demonstrating that Jesus' original message was intended only for the Jews." That makes sense, but what WAS the original message! It's certainly not Matthew 7:6 If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

So you don't know the message of Jesus either, what a shock. Kind of embarrassing for you, I would think. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

"Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up" So this is the core message Jesus taught for 3 years? Are you sure? He went around telling people that he must be 'lifted up'? You're just as confused about the message of Jesus as everybody else seems to be. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." Yeah, no. This is the message of the NT, not the message Jesus went around preaching for 3 years. And please don't tell me his message was love your neighbor and love your enemy, that was hardly a new concept. They didn't kill him because his message was love each other. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

This is from John's Gospel. The message of Jesus is that He is the Messiah, God Incarnate, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords who came into the world to save us from our sins. This is why they killed Him and this is how He resurrected. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |
