Christian Tim :-) Don't you wish that people today had the zeal and zest to bring salvation to lost peoples? Paul was sold out to Christ, and there was no doubt about it. Yet today most of are timid and reluctant to just invite out neighbors to church. With what was on the news tonight about war with Iraq and the many men and women we are sending there in the gulf this is a time for those who are seeking Him to Find the Lord while He is yet to be found. What do you think? justme |

I'm not Tim but I will give you my two cents! People don't witness to the lost because they have not found the answers to their own questions and are afraid they won't be able to answer someone elses. Churches are not set up for the common person to really teach people to study their bibles for themselves, by subjects. So they just go as a ritual and sit on the pews each week. (Ask a person who says they are a Christian a question about the bible and most don't know. They don't know the truth fully about any subject or course show me a church who teaches subject's instead of telling you their point of view and using a scripture here and there and I will fall over.) Who's fault is it that we sit on pews and don't know the bible? Well the Pastor's can say it's the peoples because they don't read their bibles. The people come to the church learn and to be taught. The preacher preaches from the pulpit with no question and anwer time (conversing). Do you think when Jesus or Paul spoke for hours that they didn't let people ask questions and then they responded? Of course they did because that's how most of learn is through conversing. But if the Pastor's are the only ones who "KNOW" we are to listen with no questions asked. Hog Wash!!! I'm tired of this. The reason why Pastor's do this is because they really don't know much more than a few people in their congragations. Thank for letting give my oppinion why people don't witness. |

rferg: You have some interesting ideas, and have some rough experiences. Having been a Pastor, now retired, I sit in the pew like you now. I see that real spiritual growth comes fron studing the Word mostly by your self. Our early church Fathers were mostly self taught, and the Holy Spirit doed lead us in truth. I also think equating spirituality with having Bible knowledge is a falicy. A person can be quite uneducated and yet be a very solid spiritual Christian that knows the Lord very well. Pastors also can be carnal and yrt go through the motions of the job of pastor. What do you think? justme |
