Not everything that is believed is true, not everything that is true is believed.
- Thoughts on the above statement. Is the above statement true? Are there examples in your life that make it true or false?
- When Jesus was asked questions (over 180 times) he usually responded with a question or did not respond at all. Jesus gave a direct answer around 5 times, but the direct answers were not to scholars. Any ideas on why not to scholars?
- Why did Jesus give direct answers to those who were not Jewish? Is this an accurate sentence? Let the truth guide your belief, do not your belief guide your truth. Any examples come to mind?
- A statement is “The truth hurts.” Agree or disagree and why?
Next Step: How do you feel when your question is answered with a question? Does it depend on the question, or the person being asked? There is a quote “The Truth Hurts.” Why does the truth hurt when it is not meant to embarrass? It is recorded that Jesus was asked over 180 questions yet only directly answered 5. It is interesting who was given the straight to the point answers. Next Sunday we will explore why Jesus was answering with a question to the scholars and given straight answers to Non-Jewish individuals.
