In this sermon, the preacher begins by expressing his disinterest in the divisions and disagreements among people. He emphasizes the importance of love and acceptance, regardless of differing views. The preacher then leads the congregation in a prayer, invoking the name of Jesus and asking for mercy. He encourages the congregation to sing a hymn, emphasizing the need for salvation and the power of Jesus to set people free. The sermon concludes with a reminder of the importance of preaching the truth about Jesus and the urgency for all to come to repentance.

I'd ask you to turn tonight, if you will, to the book of Matthew, chapter 22, Matthew chapter 22. This morning I took a little time to exhort. This morning I said that every congregation calling itself a local assembly of the body of Christ is split, terribly split. We are not together. We are desperately divided. And we're divided, as I understand it, over three tremendously important things. First, we're divided over what Jesus did on the cross and what he's doing now on the throne, and why he did it. We're desperately divided there. Tonight I'm to speak on the second thing that divides every congregation, who is Jesus. Tuesday night we're making a concession to the labor day and are not having services tomorrow evening. Tuesday night we bring the third thing about which every congregation is desperately divided. What does it mean to be saved? The cheapest word in the English language now is the word saved. It ought to be a precious word. I've never, as I said this morning, ministered to a Bible Presbyterian congregation before. Most of my ministry, of course, except for union meetings, has been most of it among people called Baptists. But after preaching to you once, I see you're akin to us. You've got a lot of Sunday morning Christians. We've got them down our way. Gipsy Smith said that if the Lord didn't come for his people between the hours of 11 and 12 o'clock on Sunday morning, he's going to have a hard time finding them. But we all suffer this. It's not because the people are bad. It's just that they don't know who Jesus is. Their conception of Jesus is utterly different from the Bible portrait of him. And then they don't know what it means to be saved. They think that it's a fire escape from hell. They do not know that the last word of my Lord is not, I save, but I claim. And anybody that's not head over heels involved in the redemptive program of Jesus Christ is not saved. And that takes care of nearly everybody in our Baptist ranks and a whole lot of you Presbyterians. I'm not happy about that. But so help me God when I get a chance, I do face people with that truth. I don't ask them to believe it. Just ask them to hear me. What does it mean to be saved? Tuesday night, I hope you can hear me. It's good to see friends and we made an attempt campaign. It's mostly the people hurt. The camp felt the pain, but we had some friends. I have planned to have two weeks of rest. I got a week and a half and I feel mighty good. And I looked in on a little of the show they had in Chicago. And I saw how the Democrats are divided. Didn't get to control the Republican convention. They said they got together. But I'm not interested in their divisions. I'm not interested in the thousand things that divide us. I'm not interested on your view on the last things. I refuse to fight you about it. Of course, I'm right and you're wrong. But I'm going to love you anyhow. I'm not interested in the thousand things. Down our way, a real Christian woman wouldn't be seen in shorts. Up here, the finest Christian women wear them. So I guess I'm not going to preach on that. Down our way, a lot of the finest Christians I know use tobacco. Up here, that's the unpardonable sin. But down our way, a real Christian wouldn't be seen 50 miles of a mixed bathing party. Up here, you all put on a handkerchief and go in. So we're all divided. But I'm not going to give my ministry going up and down the land trying to face those divisions because they do not amount to hill of beans when we call your attention to the deep divisions that have hamstrung the professing Church of Jesus Christ and are causing deep thinkers to say not only that churches as they are now will not survive, but they ought not to. And I agree with them. Unless the God Almighty comes to the rescue of a congregation like yours and does something for you and in you and through you that only he can do, I don't know whether he'll be that merciful or not. He may let you just go on being nice little orthodox people and let the world go to hell and most of you join them. But wouldn't it be wonderful if the Lord would intervene and he'd rock us from bottom to top and he would reveal these deep divisions over the Christ of the cross and the throne and who he really is. And surely we wouldn't be much interested in what he did on a cross and what he's doing on a throne unless we were deeply interested in who he is. For what he did is no good unless he is the person the Bible says he is. When we remember that the scriptures never divide the person and work of Christ. Fundamentalists do. Baptists do. Bible Presbyterians do. You go on to hell most of you trusting the blood of Christ. That wouldn't save a fleet. It's the Christ of the blood that you need to be vitally joined to. I wish we'd believe that. Baptists don't. We fill our churches full of folks trusting a fact. But they've never been united to the living Lord who is the Lord of life. That's what saving faith does. And I said oh let's say this. If you use the message you've used in the past we won't get to first base here. These are different times. And you know everybody in Westchester's done got converted and they don't need to hear the word or be around the Lord. They're all fishing somewhere and they're not much interested in the fact that we're having evangelistic services here. Just an invitation won't do much good. And you're going to have to strike out or go after it harder than you ever have. Isn't that right? I think that's so. Do your dead level best and we'll thank God for the result. Who is Jesus? In the 22nd chapter of the book of Matthew it's interesting. The Lord's dealing with his enemies. The fundamentalists, they were the Sadducees. They didn't even believe in the resurrection. The modernists, they were the Pharisees. They were the highest type religious people on the topside of God's earth. When the Lord tabernacled here in the days of his flesh. And the Lord, he wasn't having trouble with one of them, he was having trouble with the other. And sometimes they'd make up their differences and join hands and try to get him in a corner. I'll take the time to go into it, but here in chapter 22, for instance, you'll read that in verse 15, then went the Pharisees. They were the modernists of their day. These modernists, they're not new, they're as old as the Pharisees. Then went the Pharisees and took counsel how they might entangle him, that's the Lord Jesus, in his talk. And then in verse 23, the fundamentalists of the day, they decided they'd have a crack at the Lord Jesus. And the scriptures say in verse 23, the same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection. They were fundamentalists. The Old Testament does not plainly teach a resurrection. And these Pharisees, they believe the Bible word for word, like you brethren do, but that's no good. That's literalism and legalism. And these Sadducees were the fundamentalists. There's this fellow Jesus, talking about a resurrection, they said not a word of truth in it. And they came and they decided they'd hymn the Lord Jesus Christ up. And then in verse 34, when the Pharisees heard that he'd put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together. And they said, well, he's not going to fix us like he did the Sadducees. And they asked him through one of their members, a scribe, a lawyer. And so in verse 41, it says while the Pharisees were gathered together trying to entangle him with their questions, he did as he always did. Instead of answering a question designed to entangle him, he always asked one. And he asked a tremendously important question here, and we'll read it. Verse 41, while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them. They'd been asking him, so he asked them. And he said, what? Think ye of Christ. You've been asking me about the greatest commandment and how many times shall I get married and whether you ought to pay your taxes to Caesar or not, and so forth. You read that chapter. He said, I've got a little question for you. What think ye of Christ? Whose son is he? Now that's a whole lot more important question than whether you ought to render tribute to Caesar or not. They tried to him him up there, which is the greatest commandment, or how many times shall a fellow get married, if he had six or seven, how many of them, in the time of the resurrection, and so forth. What think ye of Christ? Whose son is he? And they say unto him, why, he's the son of David. And he saith unto them, how then doth David in spirit call him Lord? Singing, the Lord said unto my Lord, sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool. And then the Lord said, if David then call him Lord, how is he his son? And no man was able to answer him a word, neither dost any man from that day forth ask him any more questions. Would you turn, if you will, please, to the gospel of John, at chapter one. Our subject tonight is whose son is Jesus? Is he just a man? He was a man. Is that all? Whose son is Jesus? Who is Jesus? If David calls him Lord, how can he be his son, simply? And here in the description of the Holy Spirit, in chapter one of John's gospel, verse six says, there was a man sent from God whose name was John. The same man came for a witness, to bear witness of the life that all through him might believe. Now, he was not that light, but was sent to bear witness of that light that was the true light, which lighted every man that cometh into the world. The world can never be the same. No man can ever be the same. No man has any excuse since Jesus Christ came to light the pathway for every man. And this one, which lighted every man that cometh into the world, of whom John the Baptist was sent to bear witness of that true light. He was in the world. And the world was made by him. And the world knew him not. He came and tabernacled here in the flesh for some thirty-three years and most folks never knew that God was in the flesh reconciling this world to himself. But that is all of it. Not only did the world not know him, not recognize him, but he came into his own, his own nation, the Jewish elect covenant nation. And his own, and there's a play on words, his own household, his brothers and sisters in the flesh, half-brothers, they received him not, but to as many as received him. You see, he was the thorn in the flesh. Doesn't say as to men as received it not. That's what they call salvation. But says him. The gospel is Christ. Not his death, not his resurrection, not his perfect sinless life, not his ascension to the throne, not his present reign. But the gospel is the Christ who was virgin born, the Christ who lived a sinless life, the Christ who was crucified on a cross, the Christ who was raised from the dead, the Christ whom God exalted and put on the throne, the Christ who's reigning now till all his enemies have made his footstool, the Christ who's coming back to bring this world to judgment, the Christ. And the gospel is Christ. And there's never been any controversy about an if that Christ did. It's a him. They didn't refuse to receive a gift or an accomplishment. They received him not. But to his men is received him. You see, this world's full of nice people. They've received salvation, but they still in rebellion against him. And that kind of salvation's not worth a dime. But to his men is received him. He's the thorn in the flesh. He's the one that Luke will tell us is set for the rise and the fall of many. But to his men is received him. To them gave he the right to become the children of God. Your King James says the sons, but that's clearly wrong. The children of God, even to them that believe on his name. Now here's proposition that I invite your attention to. Everybody believes something about Jesus. The Mohammedans will tell you that he's as great a prophet as Mohammed. The liberals, the modernists of our day say he's the highest product of mankind that's ever graced this earth. That he had more of God in him than any human being that ever lived. The fundamentalists say that he was here and he died and he's still dead. The liberals make much of his passion and deny his cross. We Baptists call him savior but rebel against his rule. It's not that men do not believe some things about Jesus as to who he is. It's that their faith is defective. Their belief won't get the job done. You do not face that in your witnesses. You go out and try to get somebody to take Jesus, honey, they done taken him a dozen times. And it hadn't transformed their life because the Jesus they accepted and the Jesus of the Bible are two different people. You try to get somebody to believe in Jesus, they already do. They believe. They believe something about him and they're perfectly satisfied with their relation or lack of it with Jesus Christ. You go to the hospital and find anybody who won't talk to you about the good Lord. You go to the jails, everybody in jail a great believer in Jesus. And all the people in our churches have some sort of faith, some sort of belief translated into action, which is faith. They've committed themselves some way or another to this one called Jesus. Mr. Moody, when he lay dying, did it rightly when he said all he'd had to do was to go up and down this country where people read their Bibles and people knew something about biblical truth then in the church and out. And he said all I had to do was go up and down the land and exhort men to believe in Jesus. But the preachers who follow me, I wish they'd listen to him, they didn't. The preachers who follow me will be foolish to exhort anyone to believe in Jesus for their first task will be to fight through the battle of who he is. That's the issue of this hour. Who is he? Who is Jesus Christ? I make the sad statement and I've spent my life saying it and I believe it whether it's so or not and I'll live by it and die by it and take abuse if I have to and be exiled if that's the cost. I face that. This generation of people in churches and out are total strangers to the Jesus of the Bible. For the only Jesus that we have any record of at all is the living Lord who is Lord of life and that's where the rebellion comes in. He's not only alive but he's the absolute Lord of life and unless he controls your salt life and your whole life you are a stranger to faith and the Lord Jesus Christ. The biggest question you'll ever face is who is Jesus? Who is Jesus? I love that name Brother Bob that is given to my Lord at his conception. Thou shall call his name Jesus for he shall save his people from their sins. God Emmanuel Jehovah Joshua God our Savior Who is this Emmanuel whose name shall we call Jesus because he's God with us given a task to save his people not in but if I owe him from their sins. Well he was born of a virgin didn't have a human father he lived a life apart from sin he was crucified on a Roman gibbet outside the holy city of Jerusalem he is buried in another man's grave he is swaddled in another man's clothing perfumed as body was by spices somebody else furnished he was raised by almighty God he was enthroned at the right hand of the majesty on high and there he said he must stay and he must reign till every authority everything in the universe has been brought into subjection to him that's who this Jesus is and salvation we're going to try to find out Tuesday night is not believing these things but being vitally joined in saving faith to this Jesus to where he's the vine and you're the branch to where you can sing he's the lily of the valley he's the bright and morning star he's the fairest of ten thousand everybody ought to know who Jesus is to where he's the lover of your soul to where you can read the book of Solomon and make it yours oh where is my beloved where can I find him to where you can read the deepest spiritual men of the book of Psalms early in the morning will I seek thee my soul thirsteth for thee the living God that's the language of somebody who's been married to the living Lord and they're not about to get a divorce or become adulterers and friends of this world system that did him to death cause they found him as the lover of their soul in the book of Matthew chapter 16 my Lord always anxious that folks that know whom they were talking to and with whom they were dealing he said to his disciples what are folks saying about me whom do men say that I am and Peter always spoke up you know and he said well it's in you folks are talking about you and they say that you, some of them say you Isaiah and some say you Jeremiah and some Elijah and some they don't know just exactly they can't pinpoint it but they say you are you are perfect now that's as high as any human being can speak of Jesus Christ apart apart from God the Holy Spirit revealing in and to you as he did the apostle Paul who Jesus is that's as high as you can go and that's that's as high as the average church member has ever gone he's a great prophet said some mighty fine things this world would be so much better off if we pay some attention to the golden rule the great teachings of this man Jesus but man cannot the scriptures say by searching find God and so the Lord Jesus Christ said well since that's what the people are saying that's as much as they can say no man can call Jesus Lord except by the Spirit 1 Corinthians 12 and 3, impossible whom do ye say that I the son of man am the Lord said and Peter said thou art the Messiah Christ means Messiah the anointed one the sent one to Israel thou art the Messiah the Christ the son of the living God that's the question he asked the Pharisees over there whose son is this Christ they said he's David's son well he said how come David calls him Lord if that's all there is to it and now he asked the disciples since men say I'm just a prophet that's as high as they can go what do you say about it and they said thou art the Messiah the son of the living God and the Lord said hath they art thou Simon son of John for flesh and blood hath not revealed the son to thee but thy father which is in heaven you see when we got to telling men that they got saved by deciding for Christ we became butchers of souls for men decision for Christ not worth a dime it's God's revelation of Christ to a man that's salvation that's salvation my Lord said you disciples didn't find out who I am by going to school you found out who I am by God revealing me to you and that's the way people get saved now I'll fight you about that I'll fight you about that I'm going to look in the face and tell you you ought to cut out this butchering of souls I'm telling you that a man Christ Jesus must be made real to the inmost being of a human being that's what salvation is that's what my Lord that's how he said these disciples found out who he is I would if I could and this is not pious preaching I've been in it too long for that foolishness I have many more layers left if the Lord tarries but under God if I knew how that you stomp on my body if you'd throw that little old decision of yours away and if you'd start the search see if God would make Jesus Christ and all his glory real to you until you could sing the old songs of the cross they wanted to cross when my Savior died see that you could sing majestic sweetness sitting there until these things would not be something to argue about but something to worship and adore him until the one big real thing in your experience is that God Almighty has taken the scales off your eyes as you sought him taken the wax out of your ears and made Jesus Christ the enthroned Christ who sits on a throne and waited through a pool of his own life blood to get there until he'd be real to you and you could say he's mine and I'm his I was a chaplain a little while in the second world war your little decisions they went out the wind in two weeks that's the boy got away from church and mama that's right I know what I'm talking about the Christian boys in the camp of thirty thousand men would follow me around like a little dog would his master the so lonesome and so beaten and whipped in the midst of Baptists and Presbyterians and Methodists and Catholics and this that and the other who made a little decision called it salvation but Jesus wasn't real to them and I'm telling you now that you're living in a day when all hell's popping loose and nothing except the real thing is going to get the job done and I say the biggest sin a human being can ever face is to find out who Jesus is and it ain't real to you all the glory of his person and the splendor of his work when he laid down his life on a bloody cross who is Jesus who is Jesus where is he he's on God's throne and ladies and gentlemen he changes everything he touches and if there's one scandal of what we call Christendom today it's unchanged lives nice creeds orthodoxes all get out but not transformed as they sang this morning but the only Jesus who took his men and dynamite flows from him into them is the living Lord and if your life hadn't been changed with a change that kept on changing you day by day and will keep on changing you until you're conformed to the image of Christ you've never touched the Lord and you're not saved that's so there are three things that are settled about who Jesus is he's your Lord whether you like it or not God made him Lord there's a second thing that's been settled about who Jesus is he's the one who will save you or damn you he will save you or damn you, he's been given that job you do not have the privilege of deciding whether you'll accept him or reject him you do have something to say about when you'll accept him or accept him you must he'll make you it's settled that you will receive him as Lord in the New Testament, let me give you two or three statistics in the entire New Testament Jesus Christ is called Savior 24 times he's called Lord 520 times must be some significance in that he's called Lord Jesus Christ 81 times 24 times he's called Savior 520 times he's called Lord 81 times he's called the Lord Jesus Christ in the book of Acts that's where we learn how to preach we're to preach like the Apostles did we're to preach the truth like they did if we can we're to preach the same Jesus that the Apostles preached and their sermons are recorded every one of them in the book of Acts, is that right? all the recorded sermons we have of the Apostles in the book of Acts and they mention the fact that he's now the Lord 520 times he's the Lord Jesus Christ 81 times he's Savior 24 times in the entire book, and in the book of Acts I'm sorry, he's called Savior only twice, and both times that refers to the Father and he's called Lord 92 times in the book of Acts now there's some meaning, I don't know how on earth you Bible professors and us Baptists come in trying to get people to accept Jesus as Savior the New Testament preachers didn't ask anybody to take him as Savior they said surrender to him as Lord, and as your Lord he saves you by establishing his blessed rule in your life that's what salvation is there are three things about preaching Jesus Christ where he is now the enthroned living Lord and Lord of life absolute desperate of your life you say you must bring all your thoughts into captivity to him, do you? how come you claim to be a Christian if you don't? why don't you quick listen to these fool preachers that are after your dollar and don't give a hoot for your soul everything must be brought unto him everything now honey that will keep you out of meanness we could have some prayer meetings in our churches if we had some gospel, but you dear folks you never have to repent because you don't know nothing about Jesus man you face the implications of the absolute totalitarian rule of Jesus Christ that he's got a right to in your life and he exercises that right, and you'll never be able to go to bed at night without pouring out your hard old gut, forgive me forgive me, I've sinned I've fallen so far short it's little fool Jesus that these preachers have sold this country down west while you can live just like you want to, and when the preacher says that there's no repentance in the bible, it doesn't have to be repented the next day and there's no saving exercise there's a faith that you don't have to exercise it again the next day and there's no commitment to Christ that you don't have to do it all over again tomorrow, and you'll have to do it a thousand or a hundred times every day you will because you have to come to who's running your life you or King Jesus every decision you make that'll be involved in it that'll keep you out of meanness and we could have something beside this stuff that's a stitch in the nostrils of a thrice holy God that we call salvation today there are three things that have been settled about preaching the truth about him, first I repeat it, you're going to bow to him every knee's going to bow second, you can't win by persuasion and his sweet wooing he persuades men now he will not force you but one day he'll put his foot on your neck and make you bow to his lordship that's the scripture, you can't win and then thank God in grace God holds back that day of judgment not willing that any should perish that's really long suffering and his delay is coming but demanding that all come to repentance there the church preached to Jesus who's the lord of life, he is born a virgin he's crucified on a tree he is raised from the dead and they said salvation being united to him who is he? he's the enthroned prime minister of God's world who is he? he's the one who has the crown rights to your life he's the one to whom every knee will one day bow every tongue will one day confess he's the son of God's love this day said the angel to the shepherd the Lord is born in the city of Jerusalem a savior who is Christ the Lord who is the blessed savior he's the lord of glory he's the enthroned son of God he's the son of Jesus the enthroned Jesus and there is none other name unto heaven given among men whereby we must be saved Jesus is the sweetest name I know and he's just the same as his lovely name and that's the reason why I love him so Jesus is the sweetest name I know the preaching of the Jesus of the bible strikes at the very heart of man's fallen condition you can do as we've had in the last 60 years preach a divided Jesus preach a part of his work as God's priest we don't even preach all that we don't make any reference much these days what to call the gospel to the present intercession of the Lord but we don't pay great attention to his teaching he was God's prophet you know and if you do not live by his teaching you're silly to talk about being Christian and then we don't pay attention to the fact that he's on the throne, God's absolute Lord God made him and you folks go, oh he saved man! well who's me, he hadn't saved your sauce he hadn't he doesn't save your daily walk huh? he hadn't fixed you so that every day is a day of repentance and faith and that kind of salvation is no good but when you preach that Christ Jesus the enthroned Christ he was in Mary's womb he's not there now he did walk here on the earth he doesn't do that now he was crucified he's not on that cross now he was put in another man's tomb grave but he's not there now he's on God's throne and God's turned everything over to him and he's the only one that's got rights to control you absolutely if I ordered you around you'd run me out of town but that's exactly what Jesus does he is the totalitarian dictator and he's got a right to order you around he bought you with his blood and he exercises that right and I can't call half a dozen names here I'm bad about remembering names but there's one thing I know about every last one of you myself included your reaction to authority is the best index to the kind of person you are and I know that you were born I'm shaking the very word and I know that you were born a rebel against the authority of God and I know that you rebelled against God's authority in the Garden of Eden and on Golgotha's hill when you have murdered God in the flesh and refused to receive him and I know that that nature that's yours hates the very mention of authority and I know that salvation is to have the authority the sovereign rule the authority of almighty God in Christ reestablished in your life that's what salvation is and I know that a Christian is happy to be under the rule of Jesus Christ and everybody else hates the very mention of it and the preaching of the Jesus of the Bible will stir up rebellion I wish the spirit of God come on me, I guess he won't I don't have enough power to scare a flea not a preacher living, got any power God help us if you are alright I wish you'd pray for me before I die let's preach one sermon in the anointing of the Holy Spirit where you nice people would get you a shotgun try to kill God if you couldn't get to him you'd kill me or you'd repent and bow to my blessed Lord we're not killing preachers now and we're not bowing to Jesus God help us we're in an awful shape but the gospel is the announcement of the rule of God in Jesus Christ that's what it is the preaching of the Lordship of Christ will get results, will get people off the fence wouldn't you love to see it brother pastor I would I wish they'd go to burning bridges around here, they wouldn't bother me much I'm too skinny I wish they'd go to throwing bombs at our church buildings but see we haven't got enough on the ball, they don't riot and try to tear up our church buildings, we're not bothering anybody they had riots out in Chicago they was trying to shoot at the president and all that you know we don't stir enough interest, ain't nobody mad at us they just ignore us wouldn't you love to see it so that people were far against the claims of the Lord Jesus Christ and they'd either curse him and say away with him or like the centurion who watched my Lord on a cross surely this man was the son of God I served a little while as a chaplain in World War II boy you talk about having a big time I was in one trouble after another leg major general commander of the camp 30,000 young cadets and a supervisor chaplain, a lieutenant colonel they were both Roman Catholics every Saturday night they'd get drunk together down at the country club and when they get good and drunk they'd sit there and curse me and figure out ways to deal with me I had to have the chief of chaplains come down five times while I was in the army to meet her to act as mediator they'd tell me I couldn't do this and I'd go ahead and do it you know and then I'd get in trouble and we had more fun than a barrel of books I'd pass out tracts and they detailed two book privates the Catholics did to go around and pick up all the tracts for anybody to read and I'd preach the gospel and that's against the law in the army they warned you to tell the boys how to hold their liquor and how to have sexual intercourse without contracting venereal disease they instructed you boy how to do that did you know that and they wanted me to when a boy came to offer him a cigarette and a drink of whiskey you know and get him to feeling good and then counsel him to be a good little boy and all that tomfoolery oh I had more fun than a barrel of monkeys that supervisor chaplain said you give us more hell than all the other hundred and ninety chaplains I got under me he said you're just in one mess after another he said why can't you be a human he said then he said a soldier got to have a quart of liquor and a blonde every Saturday night to make life worth living that's religion for you and that ain't confined to Catholicism either I had a Jewish chaplain on that field he was an Orthodox Jew he was a fine gentleman the only time he ever touched liquor was when they had a marriage sober as an owl clean minded never told a dirty joke never used God's name in vain as honorable and decent as he could be and he always scotched for me when the chief of chaplains had come down he'd take my side and tell the chief of chaplains the truth about what's going on and I'd help him out some and we got to be buddies and the post chaplain in Bosnia and the Army you'll explain over these terms the post chaplain was a unitarian and he had his office up in the front of the little chapel I was in and I was back yonder and the Jewish chaplain there, that's just one of many chapels of course on the post and this Jewish chaplain despised the guy in the front office he said it's not even decent for him to claim to be a Christian because he does not believe that Jesus is the Son of God and God the Son and the Jewish chaplain who carried a New Testament in his pocket and read out of it every day and said I'm coming more and more to believe that Jesus was as great a teacher and prophet as Moses and that's something for an orthodox Jew and that Jewish chaplain would say to me chaplain if I could believe that Jesus is what the New Testament said he is I'd fall at his feet and I'd worship him and I'd serve him till
