Alex,

Those responses to you were very interesting. I don't dispute with anyone, and really don't have any contact with Christians, so it's mind boggling to me how mean they are in their posts. I mean, "Alex, you have a lot of pride" seems really judgmental. Anyway, why do you put yourself through this? If they are blind, they are blind. You can't make them see, only God can.

Good advise Craig.

Hi Alex, I think the following excerpt from "Winning Souls For Jesus" may help:

http://bible-truths.com/souls.htm
LIGHT AND SALT DON’T ARGUE OR MAKE NOISE

    "Ye are the salt of the earth… Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid… Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven" (Matt. 5:1,14,16).

Salt does not make any noise, and light does not argue Scriptures. Neither salt nor light makes any sound whatsoever. Maybe there is a lesson in there.

Too many people learn a few truths of God and think that they are ready to take on the world. They usually start by trying to embarrass their Pastor with their new-gained knowledge. Usually they fall flat on their face on the very first try. It’s all about motivation. If your motivation is carnal, God will not back you. Yes, I know, all of you are saying: "But my motivation is to show them God’s truths." Yes, sure, I understand, but THEY DON’T WANT TO HEAR GOD’S TRUTHS, and you already know this, so what is your point? Leave them alone and let them taste your salt and see your light and admire your good works, and perchance they will even praise God for your new-found humility,

You will never argue anyone into accepting the truths of God’s Word. As salesmen are often taught: "You might win the argument, but loose the sale," so don’t argue. And this: "He who is persuaded against his will; is of the same opinion still."

Well i've always been drawn and had a motivation to teach God's truths one day, like ray does, so i really don't know... they never hurt me with there words i gaurentee you that, and i certainly am very calm, though full of passion, when i speak.


I guess its like a testing ground i don't know lol. I mean i don't do this very often, but sometimes i just have this urge to talk to some christians and see how they react to the scriptures. It's almost as if i'm testing myself, to see how heresy proof i can be... i don't know, i really don't.

Well God bless, i'm off to lunch!

Btw zvezda, ty for that post, it was a great reminder, i really need to read through some of these articles again.

In Christ with love,

Alex

Beloved:
Alex I agree with Craig.

I also would remind you that we are all slaves of Christ. Everything in this world is His.

(2Ti 2:15 KJVR)  Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

(2Ti 2:25 KJVR)  In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;

(2Ti 2:26 KJVR)  And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

As a slave your job is to present the Word of your Master.

He will do all that is necessary. If not today then some day

If they treat you badly ...bear it......

From all the scriptures we are to expect this so I do not understand why you are surprised or confused. 

They accused you of judging. This was a offensive move by them to put you on the defensive. It is an old trick used many times by the enemy when confronted with truth.

You are not judging them .....the WORD IS. And they do not like it one bit.    TOUCHE' LORD.

Beloved
