Pericles.
you are confusing 2 things.

1/ Proclaiming Christ..

2/ Raising awareness about a false cult. (in my view)

When I said I don't want to rest on anything other than the Gospel.... It means.. I have no faith in human argument alone to illuminate the hearts of the likes of you. So..I'm saying that even if I got the facts and argument 100% correct.. 100% of the time.. it would still not be enough to bring you to your knees before God.. only He can bring that about.

When I'm speaking about Islamic issues.. I'm not trying to win people to Christ so much.. but warning of something which tends to lock people in...once the get caught up in it. Once in... very difficult to get out because of a mental prison. If they get 'in' while knowing the full information...then its their problem entirely. If they get 'in' on the basis of falsehood trotted out to them by some very sugar coated Islamic web site.. its still their problem. But if they have a chance to know the other side of the coin first they are better equipped to make an informed decision.

There is also the social aspect for our country.

Don't confuse the 2 roles please.

DICKIE....that was awesome :) died laughing.

Hey guys!
Have you all noticed something?

The greatest book of all time..is the Bible,

Bring in a thread about religion and you get the longest thread of all time!...well done everyone!

Spanky,

As Wobbles said "what about all those other Gods ??"

Still a lot of Questions unanswered in a scientific way.

Even the Boaz had a few problems with this discussion and had to fall back on his old ruse of bringing up the Islamists .

I have been highlighting that question from my first post Jim.
We never debated it not once.
But given the subject we did not do so bad.
I truly doubt we will ever debate why so many Gods, but I think I understand already.
Longest thread? did not know that but this debate will be held forever won't it? if not here it goes on someplace every day.

Hi Kartiya Jim :) welllll... as the pastor replied to the lady who said "Do you remember me".. "yes..I do.. I always remember people who criticize me" :)

Kidding aside... this is a wonderful thread... It sure beats going door to door and asking "Have you heard the truth" :)
Let me point to a very good source of discussion/message on this issue, by a very easy on the ears speaker... who has a very strong personal testimony.

I highly recommend the talks "Christs answers to mans questions"

Perilous and CJ Morgan would do well to listen :)

What a wonderful land this would be.. if we embraced Christ... not thinking of a particular denomination.. but just of Him...
of course.. if 2 of us did that and linked up..we would have a new 'denomination'...... so it kinda goes with the territory.
But there are fellowships out there which can be a good reference point.. its a matter of finding them. The best church and best pastor though.. are the Good Shepherd Himself..and the family which looks to Him for guidance and strength.

He is there... and He is not silent... (Francis Schaeffer)
