After I made my electronic coffe house post I realized something. You never would get orthodox Jews to come to a place to talk about the Bible with Christians.
But for some reason they do it here on this forum.
So it made me wonder about Nicodemus. When Jesus says John 3:16 it is in response to the inquieries of a Rabbi named Nicodemus who came secretly to Jesus at night time.
Another verse that came to mind was 1 Corinthians 16:9 where Paul says a wide and effective door is open to him for ministry, but there are also many adversaries.
So, for every adversarial person who argues with you here nicely, or even not nicely, there may well be very many Nicodemuses who slip in and out of this forum without wanting to be noticed.
People all around the world are reading this forum, a wide and effective door. Knowledge has increased like it says in Daniel 12:4, a sign of the end times.
