Fear of oppostion or ridicule can weaken our witness:
A firm belief of the doctrine of God's universal providence, & the extent of it, would satisfy us when in peril, & encourage us to trust God in the way of duty. Providence takes notice of the meanest creatures, even of the sparrows, & therefore of the smallest interests of the disciples of Christ. Those who confess Christ now, shall be owned by him in the great day, before the angels of God. To deter us from denying Christ, & deserting his truths & ways, we are here assured
that those who deny Christ, though they may thus save life itself, & though they may gain a kingdom by it, will be great losers at last; for Christ will not know them, will not own them, nor show them favour. But let no trembling, penitent backslider doubt of obtaining forgiveness. This is far different from the determined enmity that is blasphemy against the Holy Ghost, which shall never be forgiven, because it will never be repented of. Luke12:13-21

- accused leaders of being of their father the devil
- threatenned eternal damnation for some sinful ways
- belittled people who did not make bigger profits with their money, even if they kept what they had, not taking much risk with it
- did not hold a job other than to preach to others
- told people to bring to him his enemies and kill them at his feet(getting others to do his dirty work as he wanted to remain non violent physically)
- convinced people that he was worthy of being crucified by preaching that everything was wrong and being vague about how to change things by telling stories that sometimes did not make any sense, but that would be repeated for hundreds of years to come
- any more?

Mind you, there are likeable traits this guy had, some involving moments of healing, so he is not a complete lost cause! I too look forward to making his and your acquaintance and friendship in heaven, cause I firmly believe we are all doing our best on earth

If people hate there bosses and act like they didnt, are they living a lie?
I worked at a pizza delivery place a long time ago and while we were outside people
would just talk a whole bunch of crud about the fat guy writing their checks as much as possible I guess to make them feel better.
But when he was around everybody seemed
to use the yes sir and shuffle around a bit harder and buy christmas presents for him
at the christmas partys.
Its like the lies get bigger and bigger, and the
more the boss senses we are full of it the more he wants us around to antagonize and
proove to us we are full of it resulting in longer hours and more pay.
Dont you think hate is great in the world of economics?

If you made a phone call, while your ears were plugged or otherwise unable to hear the person on the other end, is it that they are not responding to you, or that you simply can't hear it?

how long do you really expect them to keep trying to talk to you when you obviously can't hear them, despite their repeated futile attempts to get the message to you, due to the perceptive failing being on your end.

do you recognize that the failing could merely be that your ears are plugged and you don't even realize it? (this is metaphorical, for those of you who don't notice that right off)

Not that I'm suggesting faith based arguments are strong, quite the opposite.

Lets say you've come to a judgment about someone, do you give yourself the benefit of doubt that that person might have a good reason for behaving like that, hence you shouldn't judge them?

Does that mean that: "The wise man doesn't keep that information to himself"?

If Biology is correct, then the flow of evolution went from chaos to order, which means that the Laws of Thermodynamics in Physics is wrong, since the claim there is that everthing goes from order to chaos unless acted upon by an outside source.

If they are both correct, what or who was the outside source which acted upon evolution?
