1 | "What did Jesus look like?" | Ex 20:4 | Vannessa | 56972 | ||
Ok now you're scaring me, LOL. Are you suggesting I may be sinning or something for defending the word of God, for presenting alternatives to the atheists, for presenting the truth that exists in my heart? I usually do not back away from any flogging of the word of God. My gut feeling is that these youth/adults are seeking the truth or at least alternative theories regarding the Bible. There are those who only want to spit on even the idea of God and I generally do not respond to those. But if there is a legitimate question, no matter how bazaar it may seem, I will at least make an effort to respond. Currently I am reading, "The Case for Faith" by Lee Strobel". I want to continue with "The Case for Christ." Right now as I present quotes from this book, the questions are coming fast and furious wanting to know more or perhaps challenging the findings of this journalist. Never the less I think it's a worthy effort to at least try and present alternatives. Thank you again for the advice. Cuidate, V |

The book you mentioned is a good one! I posted a link to the little book I mentioned. I would have included it with this post if I had noticed your response here. Anyway, please don’t think at all that I am suggesting you are sinning by defending the WORD of God. As a matter of fact, you sound like your right on track! I just don't know you, and I thought maybe you were like me! Sometimes I get more concerned with defending the WORD than declaring it. I think the scripture references I gave speak for themselves and I have to keep them in my mind and heart whenever I attempt to answer any opposition to the Gospel. Truth will always be on our side, so "winning" any subjective debate should be easy. I just need to stay focused sometimes that the intent of the Gospel is to set people free, not for me to “win” a debate. Your discernment between those who only want to “spit on even the idea of God” and those who are “seeking the truth” is exactly the balance between love and discernment I was talking about. Remember that those you are talking to are blinded by satan (2Co 4:3-4). Remember that no intellectual debate or any facts revealed to them will ever change anything unless they also allow Jesus to also change their hearts. Never forget that you are fighting a spiritual battle and because of that, you must put on the whole armor of God (Eph 6:10-18). Keep up the good work! We do not wrestle against flesh and blood! retxar |
