Solomon. 24 So the Jews gathered around him
and said to him, “How long will you keep us in
suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do
not believe. The works that I do in my Father's
name bear witness about me, 26 but you do not
believe because you are not among my sheep.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them,

and they will never perish, and no one will snatch
them out of my hand.
29 My Father, who has given them to me, is
greater than all, and no one is able to snatch
them out of the Father's hand.
30 I and the Father are one.”


they asked him simple question. instead of answering the question.. he kept on beating around the bush.. simple question.. please tell us plainly and in simple language.. ARE YOU THE CHRIST?

the answer to that question is a yes or no answer.. but instead of telling them what they wants to hear from him.. he was busy talking about sheep. which does not relate to what was being asked.


ARE YOU CHRIST ?...

Jesus ought to have answered with yes am Christ or No am not the christ.

there are series of questions they asked him.. instead of giving a direct answer.. he won't attend to the question.. then will start saying something that is totally different from what he was being asked.

john18 vs 28-38
28 Then they brought Jesus from Caiaphas to
the Roman governor’s residence. (Now it was
very early morning.) They did not go into the
governor’s residence so they would not be
ceremonially defiled, but could eat the
Passover meal. 29 So Pilate came outside to
them and said, “What accusation do you
bring against this man?” 30 They replied, “If
this man were not a criminal, we would not
have handed him over to you.” 31 Pilate told
them, “Take him yourselves and pass
judgment on him according to your own
law!” The Jewish religious leaders replied,
“We cannot legally put anyone to death.” 32
This happened to fulfill the word Jesus spoke
indicating what kind of death he was going
to die. 33 So Pilate went back into the
governor’s residence, summoned Jesus, and
asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?”
34 Jesus replied, “Are you saying this on your
own initiative, or have others said it to you
about me?” 35 Pilate answered, “I am not a
Jew, am I? Your own people and your chief
priests handed you over to me. What have
you done?” 36 Jesus replied, “My kingdom is
not from this world. If my kingdom were
from this world, my servants would fight to
prevent me being handed over to the Jewish
authorities. But now my kingdom is not from
here.” 37 Then Pilate said, “So you are a
king!” Jesus replied, “You say that I am a
king. I have been born and have come into
the world for this reason—to testify to the
truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth
listens to my voice.” 38 Pilate asked, “What is
truth?”


just look at what Pilate asked him.. and look at his response sorry to say he didn't reply in a polite manner..

Pilate told him am not a Jew .. this what your people said.. defend yourself with meaningful reply.. instead he was using question to answer question in a rude manner (sorry to say).

SHALOM!

THE BIBLE MUST BE THE ONLY BOOK IN THE WORLD, WHERE IDIOTS JUMP IN THE MIDDLE OF ITS ACCOUNTS, THEN START TELLING GOD HIS BUSINESS- AS IF THEY HAD BEEN FOLLOWING THE STORY FROM THE BEGINNING.

To answer your stupid question propery, I hould need to know you backgound, so that I can know what level of blockhead I am dealing with.

they asked him simple question. instead of answering the question.. he kept on beating around the bush.. simple question.. please tell us plainly and in simple language.. ARE YOU THE CHRIST?

the answer to that question is a yes or no answer.. but instead of telling them what they wants to hear from him.. he was busy talking about sheep. which does not relate to what was being asked.

What a TOTALLY STUPID thing to SAY!

First of all, ARE YOU SUCH AN IDIOT that you NEVER BOTHERED to READ THE WHOLE STORY THROUGH?

The RELIGIOUS LEADERS had MADE A LAW that anyone claiming to be The HaMISHIACH was to be EXECUTED IMMEDIATELY!

What sort of fool does not know how Lord Yahshua died?

ARE YOU CHRIST ?...

Jesus ought to have answered with yes am Christ or No am not the christ.

Anybody who knows anything about Christianity knows that when Lord Yahshua learned that his Disciples were calling him the HaMISHIACH, he Blessed PETER, telling him that his INTUITION was a REWARD FROM GOD, and that THAT INTUITIVELY-RECEIVED WORD was the FOUNDATION of HIS Church.

THEN he COMMANDED them to NEVER TELL ANY MAN that HE was YAHSHUA HaMISHIACH.

He later warned that many people would be DECEIVED by those saying that HE was The HaMishiach.
