If we all spoke like Jesus spoke, then would be considered rude today? Consider his confrontations.?

Answer 1

Well, Jesus wasn't one to mince words when He was all fired up by religious hypocrites.

Matthew 23:14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. 15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves. 16 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor! 17 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold? 18 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty. 19 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift? 20 Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon. 21 And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein. 22 And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon. 23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. 24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. 25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. 26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. 27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. 28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. 29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, 30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. 31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. 32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. 33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

Rudeness is a matter of perception and circumstances. It would be rude to run up and yell at someone who was sitting on a park bench and reading the newspaper but it wouldn't be rude to run up and yell at someone who was reading a newspaper while walking and was about to step in front of a moving vehicle. Jesus was just telling it like it was so that the people whom He was addressing wouldn't be left in doubt about their need to repent and be saved from eternal damnation.

Answer 2

Yes! Jesus would go to the churches, not DC, NYC, Paris, London, or Tokyo. And like the Jews, He would come to His own and His own will not know Him. Many say, Lord, Lord, but He will say He never knew them. But there will be some who would recognize Him.

Just remember, the crowd that cause a wee little man to climb a tree to get a glimpse of Jesus as he walked by was down to 120 in a prayer meeting about 60 days later. And it is there that the real movement took place.

Answer 3

You got it right on. Many suppose that Jesus was always smoothing out the wrinkles with everybody. But those people do not read the Bible with any sort of comprehension that may be determined as accurate.

We have passages like this one:
Matthew 15:11 What goes into a man's mouth does not make him 'unclean,' but what comes out of his mouth, that is what makes him 'unclean.' "

12 Then the disciples came to him and asked, "Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?"

13 He replied, "Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots.

He wasn't mincing words with the Pharisees.

Answer 4

What confrontations? With the greedy? The liars? The decievers? Was he confrontational with anyone else? Heaven forbid someone speak rudely to these kind of people. Might get hung on a cross for something that heinous.

Answer 5

Considering the words from rappers in the world songs, and the rantings every now and then on this section, Jesus was still a mild mannered person today.

Answer 6

Absolutely. What Jesus said was controversial - why do you think he was crucified?

Remember, he said, "Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword." (Matthew 10:34)

If we want to follow Jesus, then we must expect to be considered rude. We believe what is right, not what is popular.

Answer 7

We'd definitely be considered rude. I've often considered Paul who was condemned about so many things in so many ways, but #1 I believe we'd be considered ...arrogant, when in fact it's confidence in Christ Jesus. That's what happens to me at times.<><

Answer 8

Jesus had several confrontations.. You should list them or the Bible ref. in your question. People don't know what you're talking about as it is.

Answer 9

Yes we would be considered rude, by those who are truly rude. We would be considered evil, by those who are truly evil, etc., just like in Jesus' days.

Answer 10

I think if we can perform miracle like Jesus and still honor people of other faith. I would consider it worth doing.

Answer 11

More than likely. But, Jesus was speaking and teaching the truth. If people were doing things that they aren't supposed to be doing, I would tell them. He wasn't sugar-coating it, and neither should we.
