That was NOT the message the Messiah was delivering. It was NOT about change. What changed was the religious leadership. He made the statement to tell them that they needed to return to the OLD (original) ways, and not rely on the doctrine of the rabbis.
A very profound statement that our Messiah made. To paraphrase He was saying to the religious leaders of Israel "I am not going to return until you (the religious leaders of Israel) call me and recognise that I AM your Messiah".
What He was NOT saying is "I'm changing the rules".
'That was NOT the message the Messiah was delivering.'
Which one ?
more like they needed to return to God as they had replaced him with vain religion and traditions of man much like Christians and Jews do today.
I think what I read earlier this morning (below) says it well. The vast majority don't really want the truth They love compromise and fables and that why the uncompromised are always so hated and reviled by the lukewarm religious pukes.
'Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word. You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me.' John 8
