Jesus engaged in debates and discussions, particularly with religious leaders like the Pharisees and Sadducees. His ministry often involved challenging established beliefs and practices, which naturally led to debates. Here are some aspects of Jesus' interactions that demonstrate this:
Questioning and Counter-Questioning: Jesus frequently responded to questions with questions, challenging his interlocutors to examine their own assumptions and beliefs.
Use of Parables: Parables, while stories, often served as indirect arguments, presenting alternative perspectives on moral and spiritual matters. They invited listeners to contemplate and debate the meaning.
Conflict and Argument: The Gospels depict Jesus in direct conflict with religious authorities, disputing their interpretations of the law, their traditions, and their understanding of God's will.
Defense of His Actions and Teachings: When challenged, Jesus would often defend his actions and teachings with reasoned arguments, drawing on scripture, logic, and appeals to conscience.
Emphasis on Dialogue: While he sometimes used strong language, Jesus' ministry was also characterized by efforts to engage in dialogue and offer his perspectives.
I also follow Jesus lah
