Jesus acknowledged that the Jews were the descendants of Abraham, but that they weren’t the “children of Abraham” or the “children of God” anymore, but the “children of the devil”. Since Abraham is not their father, but the devil is, the promises that God gave to Abraham of those blessing Abrahams children being blessed does not apply to the Jews. They rejected Christ and are the children of the devil and not Abraham.
In John 8:37 Jesus said “I know you are Abraham’s descendants”.
in vs. 38, “If you were Abraham’s children,” said Jesus, “then you would[c] do what Abraham did.”
In vs 42, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come here from God.
In vs 44, “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires.“
That is amazing!! Christianity has definitely been growing in India, but I haven't been able to talk about it with any of my Hindu friends because Christianity is so foreign and different than Eastern religions. I've been able to debate with my Muslim friends though.
I earlier this year had a huge debate with one of my Muslim friends on Islam vs Christianity. We both spent hours and hours researching and watching debates for each side. It was very hard to debate because Islam doesn't require any proof to believe in it, it just claims its' right.
I was able to eventually successfully make an argument with the Islamic dilemma that my friend couldn't refute. In short, Islam essentially says the "bible" is true while while claiming the opposite of what the bible claims. I have refrained from telling any other Islamic acquaintance's the same argument against Islam because I would feel guilty shattering there worldview that they spent there whole life being brainwashed to believe in.
