He asked rhetorical questions and spoke in parables to make the scribes and pharisee think about their actions and to make the Jews listening to him understand how they were getting the short shrift.

If you put all the answers to all the rhetorical questions in the eye of a needle, would a camel still have trouble passing through it?

Since people know where you come from mentally and spiritually, what would you expect?
Do you ask your question from an honest heart.
Well if you need to be reminded that Jesus knew that the Rabbis were politically motivated and were out for His blood. That is why he spoke in coded questions.
If you are asking from an honest heart that is my answer

I'm not as familiar with the Bible as I should be, so what rhetorical questions that Jesus asked are you referring to here?
Also, if one doesn't believe in Jesus, why does it matter if He asked rhetorical questions or not?

are you even supposed to answer rhetorical questions?
And no, Charles Darwin never converted to christianity. that's just a rumor in the veins of Elvis being alive or Paul McCartney being dead. His daughter has saidthat he never convererd, and she was at his deathbed. He deconverted as a result of his logic and his suffering.

Who cares? Just make sure you understood what Jesus meant when he asked his rhetorical questions.

Usually we like to see questions, not lectures. Asking a question just so that you can then give a 500 word lecture rather that so you can get answers tends to "tick off" some people. Its not suppose to be Yahoo Lectures. (It those of answering the questions who get to do the 500 word lectures) :-)

If you're asking on here, are you seeking rhetorical answers?

What if Popeye were to ask a rhetorical question? Would space-time stop?
