[TruthTalk] arophobia: fear of reason

[jandgtaylor1]

From: "Blaine Borrowman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Blaine,  Hi Judy,  Well, the point was that they could not reason against him--they might have tried rationalizing, or in other words, making excuses for themselves.  But apparently they were so used to being in charge, they expected compliance with their dictates and their traditions to be automatic.    Of course, they were envious!!   And remember, charity envieth not!  They had no love in their hearts for him, so they sought to kill him, and finally succeeded.    Judy: They had no love for anyone, including God, they served themselves with an outward religious veneer and Jesus layed down his life.  Noone was successful at killing him, he was led by the Spirit of God as a lamb to the slaughter.   Blaine: They had tried before, but failed, and would have failed again if it had not been for the betrayal of Judas Iscariot--the unrepentant thief, the man who carried the money bag, who let his greed overpower his testimony that Jesus was the Messiah, something he knew to be true.    Judy: Judas' duplicity finally caught up with him for Satan had entered into him prior to that kiss of betrayal; I don't know whether Judas had a revelation of Jesus as Messiah (like Peter - which must come from heaven) I doubt it but he did know (after the fact) that he had killed innocent blood because he said so. Even Satan who indwelled Judas had no victory in his death, burial, and resurrection because it is written "None of the rulers of this age understood God's wisdom because if they had understood it they would not have crucified the Lord of glory" (1 Corinthians 2:8)    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.   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.
