The first time Jews are called stiff-necked is by G-d, after the sin of the golden calf:

7. And the Lord said to Moses: "Go, descend, for your people that you have brought up from the land of Egypt have acted corruptly.
8. They have quickly turned away from the path that I have commanded them; they have made themselves a molten calf! And they have prostrated themselves before it, slaughtered sacrifices to it, and said: 'These are your gods, O Israel, who have brought you up from the land of Egypt.' "
9. And the Lord said to Moses: "I have seen this people and behold! they are a stiff necked people.
10. Now leave Me alone, and My anger will be kindled against them so that I will annihilate them, and I will make you into a great nation."
- Exodus 32

The term is never used when the children of Israel adhere to G-d's mitzvot - commandments. So I suggest you apply the Bible's terminology appropriately and not at your whim when it suits you.

I have nothing to say to you AL

Yet you keep on hurling your fire and brimstone at me. This is not the first thread you do so. See ya later.

Quote:

as you will strive to the end of your days with the law just please don't try to enslave others with it...

If you still don't know it Judaism does not advocate proselytiziation. We're not desparate to take in a billion pagans overnight.

Seeing how Jesus lives in my heart ...

We all have strong emotions in our hearts about beliefs and hopes.

I asked him if he thought Malachi was silly and this was His answer:

You have not dealt with the contradiction of Malachi 3:22, what Iceman wrote, nor even of NT Acts XXI:20.

Jesus is most confused.

Quote:

The Lord always answers my prayers with "Yes", "No" or "Wait" ...

Well, there aren't too many choices left now, are there?

Quote:

except one time He gave me a Jewish answer and said, "What's in it for me"

Jewish answer? Smack of vile stereotyping. Where's Avon's pound of flesh, perhaps?

Actually, "what's in it for me" is more like what Paul advertised to the Greek pagans he upgraded to Christianity.

I had been praying for revival ...

It will come alright. Not to worry. And it will be a joint project.
