Made 2 B Courageous!

[PollyAnna]

The evangelist Billy Sunday used to tell of a professing Christian who got a job in a lumber camp that had the reputation of being very ungodly. A friend, hearing that the man had been hired, said to him, “If those lumberjacks ever find out you’re a Christian, you’re going to be in for a hard time!” The man responded, “I know, but I need the job!”
The next morning he left for camp. A year later, he came home for a visit. While in town, he met his friend who asked, “Well, how did it go? Did they give you a hard time because you’re a Christian?”
“Oh no, not at all,” the man replied. “They didn’t give me a bit of trouble—they never even found out!” (“Our Daily Bread,” 11/83.) https://bible.org/seriespage/lesson-112-taking-stand-christ-luke-2350-56

Do you really think the WestBoro Baptist 'approach' works? I don't.

 

[lastofall]

"And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves;" (2 Timothy 2:24-25)

strive= in this context is to say: impose, intrude.

God gives grace only to the humble, but resists the proud.

Westboro is some sick people.

Attacking grieving parents is lower than low

Romans 1:14-17
King James Version(KJV)

14.)I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.

15.)So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.

16.)For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

17.)For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

 

[John146]

Many Christians today are embarrassed to street preach and Scripture sign hold and pass out tracts. The methods Westboro uses is good, the way they go about it is very wrong and hurtful for the cause of Christ.

 

[AuntieAnt]

Jesus didn't march around holding up signs or bang on folks' doors or pass out tracts to passersby. Jesus was a living testimony of the love of the Father. Jesus was meek, humble in heart, gentle, kind, tolerant, didn't condemn, didn't humiliate weak people, didn't scream or holler at sinners, even ate dinner with them. Jesus genuinely loved people.

We are to follow what Jesus did, not the self-righteous Pharisees.

The only ones Jesus showed anger to were INTOLERANT RELIGIOUS PEOPLE!

 

[eph610]

I never read that Jesus or the Apostles "witnessed" to anyone, but I did read about the many times they did share when the Spirit Led them to....We should be a witness of what Jesus did for us every day and share when we are led and only led....

The Spirit knows better than we do when to share and how to share....

I agree.....people in the world are not rejecting Christ when they see this nonsense happening "in the name of God" - they are rejecting the "god" that these people are projecting. Jesus will be faithful to reveal His true self to them and circumvent this religious nonsense.

2 Corinthians 13:8 (NASB)
[SUP]8 [/SUP] For we can do nothing against the truth, but only for the truth.

 

[blue_ladybug]

I am courageous.. Are you?

 

[Sac49]

We are called to "not be ashamed of our faith". What the Bible doesnt say is "be jerks about your faith". We should be out there on the streets telling others about Jesus. We should not do it in the way Westboro does it. They are doing nothing but leaving a bad taste in peoples mouths about what should be "Goid News". They have changed the good news into nothing but "your all going to hell" bad news. They are nothing but a group of self righteous jerks making others feel worse instead of leading them to Christ.

Or should i really say how i feel about groups like them?

2% of those who call themselves "christians" do the work of the Father. FAKE UNCONVERTED UNREDEEMED "CHRISTIANS" .03% that say they saved ,actually are!

Read accounts in jeremiah and ezekial and acts. Violence always comes s a result of the light invading the darkness.
Matthew 10:22
You will be hated by everyone on account of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.



Its been happening for thousands of yrs. This doesnt shock me. It only makes me more determined to do the work of the Father who saved me

Your pride and self righteousness are writing checks your character cannot cash....

You have it backwards. What you vomit forth is religion. Read the accounts of mobs and violence when the gospel was preached. I can dirext you to them because I fear you have no idea what I am referring to
Isaiah 5:20

“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”


Why dont you get off your backside and be a man of God and go out into the wilderness? That was rhetorical. I know why you dont.......................
