Jesus spoke more condemnation towards jewish zealots who twisted the truth than he did people who wern't even religious. Who did he call venomous vipers?

I'm aware that the gospel isn't about just "good times", but it IS about love. That's kind of the whole point of the gospel. How you communicate the gospel is just as important as the Gospel itself. Without love, your words are pointless and fall on deaf ears. I'm aware that there is a hell, and that people should know of it and their sins, but who will listen if you;re condemning them about something that they don't even believe in yet? People have to see by your love in your actions towards them and others as you proclaim the truth before other truths will be grasped.

I'll say what my pastor says : "People don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care." I'd say that fits nicely with my point. The bible says "If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal." 1 Cr 13:1

I guess I'm just saying that the order of doing things is important. Think of yourself in the unbeilivers shoes and what would be the most effective method.

Perhaps we've had a micommunication.


I'm referring to life in general. Aka being out in public on normal occasions.( for my previous post). Going around a bar and screaming about how drunk everyone is and that it's a sin isn't very effective( not saying anyone in here is)


However, at a time when a person is in full cooperation with me and is willing to hear me out and listen and wants to hear what I believe. i focus on God's love through Christ and that we are sinful people who need to be saved. but the focus MUST be on Christ and his love and how great it is BECAUSE of our sins which are forgiven through him. Does that make sense?

Sure that makes since, and for the record I have never entered a bar screaming you are all sinners...lol. However no one is going to give their life to Christ until they see their own sinfulness.

And no one will see their sinfulness until they see the alternative first in all it's glory.

GRIM,
Why in the world are you on this site? Are here only to try and mislead people? Dude, if you don't believe in God's Word, then why are you even here?

GRIM,
With that being said, man.....Do you know that even the demons "believe" in the word of GOD and they tremble .

There is a HUGE difference between believing and having the LORD be you master.

You have over 100 plus posts, and you don't acknowledge Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour?

Then why are you here? Dude, if you are trying to mislead people away from Christ, you are headed for DISASTER upon DISASTER.

Read this one verse right here dude.

Proverbs 4:19
The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.

Psa 38:1
O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

Psa
92:6
A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.

If you have mislead someone on purpose, you are about to be in for it dude...


Heed this rebuke while you can.
