Well its obviously not the case that We all know, as you put it, as many people don't Know. And just because we are here and not out there, as you put it. As many people are Not here. Truth of the matter is just that.
I wasn't responding to you, but to the original post.
Walking into a Christian forum, which is populated by Christians...who are hanging out on a forum with other Christians...and then telling them, "Hey, maybe we shouldn't go chasing after people in the world, but instead, look for Christians!"...that doesn't strike you as...redundant?
Perhaps we should walk into a hospital, look at the patients, and say, "Hey, crazy idea. You guys are all sick. You should all get medical attention!"
Or maybe head over to a grocery market, and tell the other customers, "You know, if you're interested in cooking, you should buy some food!"
Tomorrow morning, I'm headed to an auto dealership. All those people would really benefit from me telling them that they should buy a car from a place where you can buy cars.
As far as YOUR point that there are lots of Christians who AREN'T primarily fellowshipping with other Christians? VERY TRUE. This is a very true thing. MY point is that those chaps? They're not HERE, for the most part. They're...
*motions in the general direction of the world*...out there. So...rather than telling us in here, who are already DOING what Stelly is suggesting...why not tell our brothers and sisters who AREN'T here? Hmmm? That's my point.
