1 | What should I say? | Acts 20:20 | julcol87 | 227068 | ||
So I wonder why they use these verses as reasons for going door to door. It's not a bad thing... I mean if every Christian did that, more people might be saved. So if my husband were to mention again that every religion should do that if they're true followers of God; what should I say? Thanks Julia |

2 | What should I say? | Acts 20:20 | Beja | 227069 | ||
Julia, I would say something along these lines. "True, and it makes me very glad that our God is far more patient with the shortcomings of his people than your doctrine teaches." Beware setting up obedience in one specific area, or to one specific command as the end all test of true Christianity. If any command has that privledge it is the command to love one another. I challenge you to do a little reading. See 1 Corinthians 13. We see a long list. If I prophecy and have not love, if I have knowledge and have not love, if I give to the poor and have not love, if I am a martyr and have not love... Could we not so easily add, "If I go door to door witnessing every day and have not love.."? Christ himself says that it is by love all men will know we are disciples (John 13:15.) It is not by going door to door all men know that a church is the true church! See also 1 John 3:10, and 1 John 4:21 and see how this command is singled out as evidences of real Christians. Going door to door is simply not given that place of honor in Christians such that it is the mark of true and false churches or disciples. In Christ, Beja |

Beja, Thank you for your response.I think i've been caught up on this one aspect of preaching door to door since i've started attending church in 2010. See my parents attended a full gospel church up till i was 11, and i'm now 23. This is the first time I have ever read the bible, and since my husband has more knowledge than me in the bible he wants to push his beliefs on me so that maybe i will follow him. When he first started explaining his beliefs to me, i didn't know anything, and what he said made sense to me but i was told that the Jehovah's Witness's beliefs aren't right. So up to this day, i'm still trying to learn and understand the things of God, and what he wants from me as his follower. Thanks again. Julia |
