  • Many scholars believe that the reason they were told to not preach to Samaritans and Gentiles was that his disciples were not ready to face cross cultural rejection. This is because of their earlier exposure to this rejection by Samaritans in which they wanted to respond by fire and brimstone. Jesus rebuked this response then. Later on, he instructs them to make disciples of all nations.

    The passages in Matthew are referring to those that do not listen to his teachings (by choice), not the Gentiles. He's saying they will not receive his blessings if they do not listen and learn from his teachings.

  • I saw some comments on a Reddit thread about the place picture saying things like, "Who's spez?" Or "what did this spez person do?" It's almost like they weren't even on Reddit around the time of the protests to have a clue what people are upset about. There must be some percentage of Reddit that is just completely unaware.
