And you can do the same with my post. Again, I imagine others would see it as rude. But we are talking about Jesus here.
God can do as He pleases. Being rude on occasion does not always mean one is mean or that one does not care.
Jesus said he came not to send peace but a sword (i.e., division).
I don’t think any tone of voice would change the meaning here.
Well, I am not claiming Jesus is in any kind of sin here. Jesus is without sin and did no wrong. Men have created rules of what they think is rude. There are no such rules for God. Granted, I do not think Jesus was overly rude by man’s standards. If a person left the forums, and another person asked you, do you want to leave, too; You would take offense, and think that was rude and mean.
Some here on the forums would take offense if you did not answer the question. However, if you were to read Luke 20:2-8, and if it was not Jesus, they have a problem with them. Read Luke 20:2-8 and imagine this scenario happening on the forums between two random posters. Do you think a poster would be all happy if their question was not answered? Generally no.
There was another time where Jesus did not even give any words at all when asked a question. Again, many men in our world would see that as rude or impolite. Again, this is not a sin, but this is merely man's rules that he has made up.
May God bless you.

Well, if you don't believe Scripture, I am going to call you out on it. I am not going to compliment you for unbelief or anything.
The opening words said, "to the outside natural man:" which shows you the perspective of the natural or outside man or when a Christian will sometimes employ natural man-type thinking in other areas of the Scriptures. By no means was I referring to myself or Christians who rightly divide. Nor was I implying this about you when it comes to the resurrection, either. I am merely making an analogy or comparison to make a point. Christians can sometimes approach certain places in Scripture with a carnal or natural-man perspective. They may believe in the resurrection, and the Rapture, but they may not properly believe other parts of the Bible plainly like a child and therefore they cannot see those verses in Scripture. They may not believe God is capable of doing certain things as mentioned in Scripture. So they reject certain verses in the Bible without even realizing it.

It took me a long time to figure out the Passover. There are verses in Scripture that set up a contradiction to what people believe about the Passover. I have argued against a particular Anti-KJV only advocate a long while back and he tried to point out how there was an error in Matthew 26:17 (When there really wasn't one). He tried to point out that the 1st day of the feast of unleavened bread came after the Passover. Little does he realize that the Passover is a feast of unleavened bread. It's actually a 7-day feast. Anyway, the best article that explains the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread I discovered is this one here:
The Passover is a Feast & a Holy Convocation - IronSharpeningIron.com
As for the word "Easter": If you were to go to Etymonline, it gives you the origin of the word "Easter"

It can have different meanings. Some of those meanings it lists as "Dawn" or "To shine", especially of the dawn. So its not stuck in having only evil or pagan meanings as many in the Anti-KJV-believing camp desire it to mean.
