- He didn't want his disciples to get into a fight and get hurt.
True ,every religion BEGINNER is a karismtic guy and he also didnt wanted them to get themselves killed and eventually left with handful of people in his ARMY
- There were a lot of people to bring the Gospel message to, so they didn't have time to get into long-winded arguments.
LONG - WINDED? answering 1 question is long-winded ?
- God doesn't take freedom from anyone; preach, but let the people make up their own minds.
yes of course that is GOD ,but jesus does not agree with that.
- This was a training time for the disciples. So, they needed to get a variety of different people and their responds so that they could bring the points back to Jesus and He could explain it all to them.
Yes ,he wanted to see people's reaction on his made up plan ,or else people might just kill him for asking someones wife ...
They didn't ask questions. They preached the Gospel - the good news about salvation.
Jesus and God are One. They agree. Jesus never used force except when he cleared the temple. He spoke in parables so that the people would have to think about it, so they could make up their own minds.
Jesus was teaching His disciples. They came back to Him, and He explained about the various receptions they had received from the people. The plan was something that God made up to save people.
