Theologically speaking, the answer is that they, like you and me, are theologians of glory who want evidence before we will believe. There must be something in our experience to prove to us what the Bible says. Of course, there is no evidence except faith which trusts not only the promises of the Gospel but also regards the entire Word of God as correct and inerrant. Thanks for your question.

I like asking who is the worst preacher!<br/><br/>One of the things I was thinking about was the theme "What Makes You Want to Throw Jesus Off a Cliff?" While I admit it is a little crass to speak in this way, I wonder if that would help get to the point? What made the people in the Synagogue want to throw Jeuss off the cliff? Are we any different? Great insights! I like asking who is the worst preacher!
