It amazes me how people refuse facts when they are right in front of them.

My 84 year old renter is a strict southern Baptist. I’m Jewish, but non observant- more spiritual now. Anyway, so today she was asking me about my husband’s death (January 21) and I was telling her about the Jewish tradition of observing the “Yartzeit” of a loved ones death. I was telling her that my Rabbi sends out notifications of when to observe the yartzeit. So my renter asked me what a rabbi was!! I was shocked and tried to find a way to explain to her where she could understand. I said “ it’s a teacher in the Jewish community, kind of like a pastor in a Christian church “. She still looked blank, so I said “ well, you know that Jesus was a Jewish rabbi, and my rabbi has the same job as he did “. She started arguing with me saying that Jesus was not Jewish, nor was that in the KIng James bible “. So I went online and found lots of Bible verses that called Jesus Rabbi and showed them to her. She looked at them and actually started arguing with me about it, saying that those verses did not refer to him as being an actual Rabbi, but it was a reference to him being the “ son of G-d” .
I had to just walk away . It amazes me when people refuse to accept facts that are right in front of their face. Yes, the Bible has many translations, and was written by men, but if a person is going to believe in it with their whole heart like Christians do, then how on earth do they deny facts put right in front of their face?
One of the main reasons I am no longer religious.
