Before the cross the Shepherd was present with the sheep and they were fewer in number,

Your are such a puppet, Judy.   But, moving on,  you are telling me that the only people Christ expected to fulfill His teachings and obey Him were those with whom he maintained personal contact?  

Few in number?   What is a good working number, Judy?  Three, 12, or thousands?   Give me a number, while you are desparately making up an answer to my query

OOOOhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh  -  me thinks I got ya on this one.  And it is a game the two of us are playing.   It took me a while, nearly a year, to figure that out, but here we are.  

When Jesus told the woman, "go thy way and sin no more,"  His second responce was to watch her walk away, back into her own world  !!!    She was not in His presence nor were the (probable) thousands who  heard His message and received His demands.  

And what of Israel  -- all those years being told to be obedient but not really having a chance  --   or what of those in Ninevah?    No Spirit there -----------    but they were sent a prophet for the sake of correction.   Shall I go on?
