Hi tim--thanks for response--You say "preaching the gospel to people who are already christians is not effective"--and this seems correct--but Many churches are filled with"nominal" Christians-Those who attend "church" for social reasons with no actual committment to Jesus at all.--We must still reach them with the truth.--in Him angel3 | ||||||

Hi Tim--"working up to God"--is the way I express an attidude we people seem to have. His word to us is " I AM HAVE FAITH IN ME"-Yes ther are "commands" in scripture--but the Good News is ---God knows we can't DO them--this is the GOOD NEWS--JESUS DID ALL OF THEM--we can not--we are covered by HIS BLOOD--this is our righteousness---only IN HIM -BY HIM- FOR HIM-TO HIM THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO he DID IT ALL--" it is finished" if we seek to obey our heart is right but we will never obey well enough--JESUS DID and this is why HE is everything--This is why we are "covered by the blood"--In Him angel3 | ||||||

Hi Tim-saw your response to doc-I see your point-However, I do take exception to it---It seems to me that we -people- always start with ourselves and try to work "up" to God when what the Bible teaches is that we should start with GOD and work our 'LIMITED" UNDERSTANDING WAY DOWNangel3 | ||||||

you make a point-I have not read this book cover to cover--I have (however) read the Bible over and over--cover to cover--What I find missing from Warrens philosophy is the NAME OF JESUS--and all that HIS name means.-In HIM angel3 | ||||||

Hi tim--yes "both assumptions" are wrong.--We always start with ourselves and work "up" to God--when what we should do is "begin" with HIM not ourselves. The direction is from HIM to us not from us to HIM | ||||||

Hi Tim thx for response--Fruit is a natural growth of a fruit tree--as a gardener I have seen many trees produce "inedible but copius fruit"--we must ask ourselves --does the tree have to "work" at producing the fruit---or is it the natural growth from the root---JESUS | ||||||

Hi again Steve--angel3 here--your response is right on--and more--the focus is on man and what "he" can do-no sin no need for Grace -mercy-or any seeking of our savior. We must seek to have a "succesful" church -with a lot of people in it.--God may want many churches to have only a few people in them--that is up to HIM--amen?---angel3 | ||||||
