1 | 1 tim 4:1-2 | 2 Pet 2:1 | Scribe | 86250 | ||
I tried to witness to a team of Mormon young men once. The ones that ride bikes and wear uniforms. They were very polite until I told them they were going to hell if they did not repent and believe Jesus was God. The leader turned red in the face and all the niceness left. He was so angry that I would presume to tell him he was not going to heaven. I was surprised at how shook up he was. I decided then to use that method more often. I had read the "ways to witness to cults" methods but they had not effect. They bounced off his mind as if I had said nothing. But when I told him with authority he would wake up in hell and only have himself to blame for being decieved becuase deep down inside he knew that he was following a cult, his head almost exploded. | ||||||

Scribe, perhaps in your encounter with the Mormon lads you were less than what is considered "politically correct" in the polite, compromising society of our time, but what you said to them certainly echoes what Jesus said to the scribes and Pharisees in John 8:24 and in Matthew 23. Jesus wasn't politically correct either, and He spoke candidly and never minced words. I wonder whether Christians err when they speak too softly and too delicately about the realities of life and death, heaven and hell, sin and salvation. Is it I wonder out of timidity and fear of reprisal that so many modern Christians are reluctant to tell it like it is, or is it their apathy that robs their words of fire and conviction? Or are they lame and ineffective because they are simply too lazy and indolent to obey the commands issued in 2 Timothy 2:15 and 1 Peter 3:15? My many years as a Bible school teacher have convinced me that an alarming percentage of confessing Christians are able neither to teach or preach the gospel of Christ nor to defend it. --Hank | ||||||
