Fear as an obstacle
Those who reject true prophets based on faulty thinking (what they fear is so) do so by:
- Irrelevant measures—“Is this not the carpenter's son?” (Matthew 13꞉54-58) Or, “Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?” (Mark 14꞉5)
- Misinformation—“Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.” (Matthew 28꞉12-14)
- Misinterpretation—“This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and build it in three days.” (Matthew 26꞉61)
- Tradition or mental inertia—”No man having drunk old wine straightway desireth the new: for he saith, the old is better,” (Luke 5꞉39), or “We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is...” (John 9꞉29)
- Charges of blasphemy—“...because thou, being a man, makest thyself God.” (John 10꞉33)
- Incredulity—“And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not” (Luke 24꞉11) or “This is an hard saying; who can hear it?” (John 6꞉60)
- Appeals to authorities—“Are ye also deceived? Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?” (John 7꞉47) In this case, an appeal to authority circumvents direct consideration of the fruit that should be considered.
