Q: When did Jesus change his view on preaching to Gentiles?

Muke TeverIn John 10:16 Jesus says (ESV quoted): And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd. The common belief, as I understand it, is that this refers to the division between Jews and Gentiles. ...

@JonEricson have you locked this to reduce the workload for us mods? :p

@JackDouglas I'm watching Christianity and thinking thinking about what it would be like if we started getting spill over. ;-)
@swasheck [tag:grammar] => grammar

@JonEricson I'm thinking it may be better to cross that bridge when we get to it?

swasheck
@JonEricson thanks ...
Grammatical issues in the source texts; this tag should be accompanied by the appropriate language tag.
what do we mean by "issues"

@JackDouglas That's fine by me. I'll hold off on protecting stuff.
@swasheck Good question.
 
swasheck
swasheck
because "grammar" is not limited to the domain of "problem solving"

@swasheck I think the way I read it is, "I understand these words, but I don't know what they mean when you put them together."
 
swasheck
swasheck
@JonEricson that's a fair estimation of grammar studies, then :)
 
Jon Ericson
Jon Ericson
@swasheck Do you think the tag makes sense as a tag?
 
swasheck
swasheck
given that definition
er ...
yes, given your understanding of that definition
 
Jon Ericson
Jon Ericson
@swasheck Ok. Let's see if we can rewrite the wiki.

@swasheck Ok. I punched up the tag wiki a bit. Feel free to edit if I messed anything up. ;-)
 
Jack Douglas
Jack Douglas
@JonEricson You should be very careful to get your grammer perfect in that wiki :-)
 
Jon Ericson
Jon Ericson
@JackDouglas And speling not mess. ;)

Jack Douglas

swasheck
it's actually crazy interesting
my wife ... she chortles every time i pick up the book
we have it on loan from another library
i'd like to buy it but it's ~$200
she said, "you have a birthday coming up."
and that's nearly the entire budget of all family members spending on me
so i decided i'd be good with library loans

Jack Douglas
Jack Douglas

I actually try not to be sarcastic online–it so often gets misunderstood :-)
 
swasheck
swasheck

Jack Douglas
Jack Douglas
