Greetings.
Many thanks for the podcast. Just took a quick look at the book of Hebrews where the Christian minority was obviously under pressure from the outside. They were not perfect people yet it is said of them that Jesus was “not ashamed to call them brothers” (2:11), and God is not ashamed to be called their God (11:16). Yet it seems that present day Christian missionaries who are advocating “followers of Isa” are ashamed to be associated with Christ.
Additionally the Christians were called:
the sanctiï¬ed (2:11); brothers [of Jesus] (2:11); the ‘holy partners in the heavenly calling’ (3:1); the believers (4:3); the people of God (4:9); the called (9:15); those who desire a better country (11:16); sons (12:5); the saints (13:24).
Keep on keeping on
