Jesus never debated. He simply stated the truth and let the chips fall where they might.----It is one thing to understand that every Christian must have enough knowledge of God's Word and promises found therein to adequately explain the meaning of salvation and how a person becomes saved.----However, entering into endless debating is so often a waste of time. Jesus seems not to have done this but simply and effectively presented absolute truth. People then decided if they would be changed by that truth or continue in their errant ways.
