I agree that if I was sitting here debating this issue, and never going out and witnessing, that would be the height of hypocrisy. I appreciate your pointing that out.

You said, “What are YOU doing to reach the world?” If you are sitting at home criticizing everyone your opinion is null/ void.” Rest assured that I do go out witnessing every week.

It seems as though you’re exempting yourself from your own advice. You’re sitting at home criticizing someone (I’m not sure if it’s me or not). By your own principle, that makes your opinion null and void.

I’m always amazed when someone says they hate to argue, and blame the other person for arguing with them. It takes two to tango.

Furthermore, I didn’t start this debate. I only responded to the author’s blog post.

The Christian world has been filled with debate. Even Paul “opposed Peter to his face.” The key is that we do it in the proper manner. Some things are worth debating, and some aren’t. Evangelism is one thing that is worth debating.

I agree with you, that we should just go do it, but as we are doing it, our methods should become more and more biblical.

Thanks,

Bill´s last blog ..Dying to ‘Self’

I hav a problem when Christians come across as know-it-alls. (Not saying that you are.) But those who have all these superb opinions about who is doing right and who is doing wrong… I say this to you, ” What are YOU doing to reach the world?” If you are sitting at home criticizing everyone your opinion is null/ void. Everyone has something to say about everyone else. It’s such a turn off. If it wasn’t for Jesus and the Holy Spirit being so amazing I would want nothing to do with God. So many Christians are such a horrible example of Jesus that I can see why many don’t want to be Christians and convert. THANK GOODNESS that I can see beyond that and love being a daughter of the Most High.

Some who have made comments on this page might think it’s a healthy discussion. A non-believer reading this will justify not wanting in because of what appears to be bickering and silliness. It doesn’t matter what method is used to introduce someone to God. JUST DO IT! Plant a seed and let God worry about the rest.

When I was 17 I was in a class with a Born-Again “believer” who I asked about his faith and he turned me away like I was a disease. I was Catholic and wanted to know more about God. The following year I was in class with another Born-Again Christian and she pursued me and talked to me about true salvation through Jesus. If my only chance to be save was through the male- I WOULD BE IN HELL!!! Years later I started a ministry and saw this male running a youth group. SHOCKING! For those of you who enjoy the comfort zone of being around “safe” people and not wanting to make mistakes because of backsliding it is a sad excuse! But do me a favor and stop criticizing others who are going out and doing something about the un-saved world. And I say SHUT UP! Enough with the healthy discussions and go out there and do something about a dying world! Don’t be afraid to make a mistake in your “method” of introducing Jesus to people and JUST GO DO IT!!!!!!!
