Luke 16 he complained to his dad-my brother spent your inheritance for him with prostitutes and drank it away-how can you still love him-the dad (and its a picture of Jesus) said
"It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad" for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again and was lost , and is found."
where are you in life-lost or amazing grace found?? Jesus reaches out with welcome arms Revelation 3vs19&20 forgiveness and true love -Knockin on your heart to come in, when you let him forgive your sins and become your friend. -i prayed it ---it worked for me!!!
best day ever-prodigal son daughter, found one or whoever-dont be the religious one who is upset when the sinner gets saved and gets blessed even more than thee.- give Jesus the glory!!!!

It was not a Godly jealousy...so no, he didn't have a right. It's human nature to feel the way that he did...but that's the flesh and not the spirit.
Once we are save, we need to walk in the spirit not the flesh. :o)

This parable was to show that Jesus came for the sinners as well as the good hardworking people, and Jesus also said that some will gain the Kingdom of Heaven and receive the same treatment even if they repent to the last hour before His second coming.
Who are we to judge whom Our Lord and Savior chooses to believe or not. We are but His bond servants those of us who believe.
Forgive your enemies, and pray that they see the truth within Jesus' teachings and that one day they may have their eyes openned to the truth, that is in love.

Son: Dad, what's an fool? Dad: An fool is a man or woman who tries to describe his techniques in such a unusual and good way that yet somebody else who's listening to him will no longer be able to comprehend him. Do you comprehend me? Son: No.

David,
You are a Christian. Stop this evil and deceptive form of missionizing. It degrades Christianity.

. It is, by definition, impossible for it to be "jewish" to believe in jesus. "Jewish" is, by defintion, what jews have historically and contemporarily believe. Since in neither scenario do we find "believing in jesus", then we must clearly realize that belief in jesus is not something "jewish". You can call it "biblical" (and still be wrong), but certainly not "jewish".
. On the side, the subject of Isaiah 53 is promised a "long life" and "seed" (i.e. physical children). Clearly this isn't about jesus.
. And Isaiah 7 is clearly not messianic if you read the whole chapter. and "alma" doesn't mean virgin either. You'd know that if you spoke hebrew (I guess it wasn't part of your "extensive jewish upbringing", huh?)
. On the side, Isaiah 9 can't be about jesus since, according to christianity, he's the "son" not the "father" (as the verse states). Nor did he have control of the government (to the contrary, the roman government killed him). And he certainly did not establish "endless peace".

oh, and lastly, I've decided that you truly epitomize everything I find intensely intellectually unsatisfying about christianity. (And you clearly do not understand hebrew.)

No the Prodical son's brother was not right, but he acted in the way the Man does. I had a pastor tell me that you will NEVER see GOD's love in divorce court. You may not want to talk to a person because they have wronged you but You must love them. God's Love is unchanging. Great question and God Bless

I don't think it was wrong for him to feel jealous. After all Our God is a jealous God. The bible says do not envy, but there is a difference between envy and jealousy. Envy is when you want something just because someone else has it, jealousy is wanting something you deserve. ( God deserves for us to worship Him and Him alone). The brother deserved his father's love and thus was jealous for the same reasons God is.

With all due respect, "prodigal" is spelled with a "g".

It is never right to be jealous, simple as that.
