going through the gospels this time a new discovery:
JESUS NEVER SEEMS TO GIVE A STRAIGHT ANSWER TO A QUESTION!
i am not like Jesus but much more polite..
a. answering when i am spoken to
b. answering the question asked.
further, i have never met another man
whether it be in a book
or in person
who is like Jesus in this way.
the QUESTION arises: if i am to imitate God, ephesians 5.1,
does that include answering questions in a
seemingly tangential
(divergent or digressive-departing from the main subject-
as from the subject under consideration)
manner which seems to be
(i need to go through all the questions asked Jesus in the gospels to get the whole story)
part and parcel of how Jesus engaged in conversation with others.
was this a bad habit?
rudeness?
or what?
one example, john 6.25...and when they had found Him on the other side of the sea,
they said unto Him,
Q- 'rabbi, when camest Thou hither?
A- 'verily, verily I say unto you,
ye seek Me, not because ye saw the miracles,
but because ye did eat of the loaves and were filled.
