What you have done here is what JW's do when they witness, which is much like the technique of a politician.
You twist and turn.
First you said that you will continue explaining God's Word to unbelievers.
Then I said that Jesus didn't persist with unbelievers.
Then you twist God's Word to justify yourself.
This is the mode of attack Satan used when he approached Eve, and is most often the basis of all his assaults on God's Word.
Genesis 3:1
[1] Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman,
Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
Satan is rebuked in the name of Jesus Christ.
I'm not twisting anything. Jesus himself said that "This good news of the Kngdom will be preached in all the earth". What would be the point in preaching to the already converted.
I also provided scriptures which showed that Jesus said that his ministry was only to the "Lost sheep of Israel.
Because of those scriptures and others I suggest that it is you who is twisting things in line with Apostate thought, which is the main line of attack used by Stan on all who would wish to serve Jesus.
I have no need to twist because if people choose to believe me or not makes no difference to me or to any but the ones making the choices. Christ's commission is to preach only, not to force anyone to listen.
Do you want people to die at Armageddon?
Do you have so little love for your fellow man that you will not try to point out the error of his ways and save him?
Is that remotely a Christian attitude?
Christ's ministry was, as he said, only for the Jews, I do not deny that; but his statement that it would later be carried out throughout the earth shows that he never intended the ministry of his followers to be only to those who believe.
Also who do you call unbelievers? Do you include those, like yourself who have no idea who and what Christ was? Who have no idea what his commission was? Those who, in fact are believing in a lie?
As Jesus pointed out at Matthew 7, he looks on them as unbelievers, as well as those who have no belief at all. In fact he appears to view them as more despicable that those who have no belief at all, if only because having had God's word available to them they, like the Pharisees of Jesus day, have no excuse not to know the truth.
As Jesus said Aquine, take the plank out of your own eye before worrying about what may be a splinter on the eyes of others? How can you lead anyone to the light if you can't see it for yourself? You may feel able to argue with scripture, you may feel able to argue with the work of Holy Spirit, I do not, nor do I wish to. I am happy to go wherever it leads, and to continue to pray to the one true God, and the Father of my Lord Jesus Christ, Jehovah (or Yehowah, or Yahweh if you prefer).
Incidentally, in that scripture where Jesus tells the disciples that he was "sent forth only to the lost sheep of Israel" don't forget he did say "sent forth" which proves that even in the heavens before there was someone with the authority to send him. That means he was not, and could not have been, God.
