1 | sharing our faith to unbelievers so hard | 1 Cor 1:18 | Jesusman | 199454 | ||
Wait a minute?! What's this? An eyewitness account of what happened? Isn't this .. oh .. what's the word I'm looking for?? PROOF?!?!?! Hasn't it sunk in yet what I am trying to say?? I believe the Bible inerrant and 100 percent true. I have a saving Faith in Christ Jesus and loving relationship with God the Father. I was saved at the young age of 5 years old before I knew what witnessing or apologetics or any of that ever meant. But the first time a person came to me and asked me if Jesus was real. I said yes .. there was no doubt at all in my mind. He was a high school classmate, son of a Baptist minister, and was then a devout muslim. He said prove it. I showed him the Bible. He asked me to prove the Bible was true. What was I supposed to do then? Pray for him? I did. Tell him to have faith in God? I did. Recommend him to a pastor? I did. I couldn't help but feel that no matter how knowledgable I was about the matters of faith and God's word and teachings, I had no answers for their questions about if this was real or not. He wasn't the first. Every single person I have witnessed to has asked me questions not about putting faith in God, but if what we believe is real. People like Lee Strobbel, Hank Henegraff, Bruce Metzger and Ravi Zacharias are almost heros to me. If you want further info about my training and background, fine. I have a BA in Biblical Languages from Missiouri Baptist University. My Father is a pastor, my mother was a sunday school teacher for years. I have read the Bible backwards and forwards several times over. I have studied nearly every passage in it's pages, and continue to do so daily. Each time I open it I learn something I didn't know before. So please .. with all due respect .. don't tell me what I see and don't see. I'm not speaking out of my butt. I'm not making claims without one iota of support. I can support everything I say either through research or personal experience. Jesusman |

Dear Jesusman, I have read your user profile not long after my joining the forum. I am very impressed by your devotion to witnessing Christ and how you got your username is respectable to me. You said: I couldn't help but feel that no matter how knowledgable I was about the matters of faith and God's word and teachings, I had no answers for their questions about if this was real or not. Dear brother, you have made the point. We do our best, but only God wills it be done in His appointed time and MEANS. Zech 4:6 Then he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel saying, 'Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' says the LORD of hosts. May the Lord keeps you and bless you in your ministry. Shalom Azure |
