Intransigence, hardness
You cannot grasp the vastness of the evil that man can do to man through hostile intransigence. I beg you to remember that your Master has always been benevolent towards the spiritual sick.[1]
In "The Gospel as It Was Revealed to Me"
- Jesus and the Doctors: The group of Gamaliel has broader views, while another group, and it is the most numerous, is led by a certain Shammai and characterized by a hostile and backward hatred that the Gospel so well highlights.[2]
- You cannot grasp the vastness of the evil that man can do to man through hostile intransigence. I beg you to remember that your Master has always been benevolent towards the spiritual sick. [3]
- Judas says of his town Kerioth: "I have spoken about the Decalogue, Master, especially trying to shed light on the points where I know this region is most unfaithful..."
"Do not be heavy-handed, Judas. I beg you. Always keep in your spirit that gentleness gains more than intransigence and that you are a man, too. So examine yourself and think how easily you too can fall and how you get angry over too direct reproaches," says Jesus.[4]
