“But when I’m talking about not making the gospel complicated, what does that mean to you?”
definately doesn’t mean to ignore what’s written in the gospel. Or avoid the scripture at all.
“If I walked up to you on the street to share Jesus and what He did on the cross. I’m evangelizing. Would I use all those scripture you just put out?”
yeah but we’re not on the street we’re in a biblical discussion forum to discuss what the Bible actually does have to say.
“Keep it simple. Jesus died and rose again on the third day. He loves you. Redemption, sin no more. The world is missing love.”
yeah again this forum is designed to study what it in the scriptures is the only thing of we want to avoid the scripture it doesn’t seem we would be here looking to study them.
the importance is to learn from them not repeat them on regular life . But to learn what they teach us and share that in life with people .
saying God loves you is great , telling people about the death and resurrection of Christ is great also. But there’s a lot of understanding in the scriptures is the idea unless we just don’t want to hear them , but it would be hard to know anything without them. Especially
In a forum designed to discuss them
“ How do we share the love of God?”
By learning the gospel and sharing it with people. Of course Jesus death and resurrection . But there’s so much more like for instance this type of thing shows Gods love towards sinners and how he feels about judgemental self righteous people also
consider how beautiful these scriptures are and I won’t trouble you anymore but consider how we can learn about Gods love from scriptire like this and be able to share it in daily life in our own words later
If your willing consider what this can reveal to us about Jesus and ourselves it’s one of my favorite events in scripture and then you might understand why I share scripture a lot in this forum
“And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.
And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house,
brought an alabaster box of ointment, and stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.
And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee.
And he saith, Master, say on. There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty. And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet. My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.
Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also? And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.”
Luke 7:36-50 KJV
On a discussion forum about the Bible scripture is there tomlewrn from and discuss. That way when people ask you questions about Jesus after you tell them about the cross ……you will have the right understanding to do so
But I understand a lot of Christians think scripture doesn’t have a whole lot of value and would rather just say God loves you and that’s always a good thought as well.
God bless
