From: "Blaine Borrowman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Blaine: Do you suppose these men who paid Judas 30 peices of silver (the price of a slave) were aware, along with Judas, that this was the Messiah they were doing away with? There is evidence they were.
Judy: Where is this evidence? I just showed from 1 Corinthians above that neither Satan nor the people he used in executing his supposed plan knew what they were about. **Blaine: I doubt they understood fully what the results of killing the Son of God would mean--but that they knew who he was there is little doubt. See the parable of the laborers in the vineyard, Matthew 21:33-45, wherein the laborers first killed the servants of the Lord of the vineyard, then killed the son, or, as he was called, the heir. The wicked laborers said, "This is the heir, come, let us kill him, and seize on his inheritance." And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him. . . . And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke of them. Judy: They may have been paranoid and thought he was talking about them but their main concern was the people and who they were listening to. The scribes and pharisees referred to Jesus as Rabbi or teacher but only a few of them had any kind of spiritual insight Anyone who truly had a revelation about who he was bowed down and worshipped Him. The religious leaders never did this, they never did know that he was their Messiah. Judy From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Blaine: There is no reason against the Truth and the people knew Jesus spoke as one having authority and not like the scribes (Mark 1:22 and Matthew 7:29). It was not for "arophobia" that the Jewish leaders had him killed, it was for envy (that green eyed monster); this is what the scripture teaches. Pilate the Roman Governor was the one with civil authority and he was aware of this (see Matthew 27:18 and Mark 15:10) Judy From: "Blaine Borrowman" Blaine: The Jews were free to use reason to counter his statements, but chose instead to use their authority and influence to have him killed. This was an extreme form of arophobia, I would say. ---------- "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."
