1 | How do we preach the Gospel? | 1 John 2:2 | John Reformed | 101141 | ||
Dear Ed, I meant no offense. My post was simply an attempt to share with you my observation of what the Bible says about the condition of fallen man. We are on the same side...Aren't we? John |

2 | How do we preach the Gospel? | 1 John 2:2 | EdB | 101148 | ||
John By the way nature reveals God to thinking inquiring individuals. But our society is often contains self absorbed and self centered people who have been trained to think in relative truths rather than absolute truths. They also have been trained in humanistic logic that eventually reasons away anything that doesn't fit in their self centered world. So while you might say Paul demolishes true atheistism, I have run into enough people that I’m convinced Satan and his lies are alive and well on planet earth. EdB |

I don't believe that human nature is any different today than it has been since the Fall. The lies of Satan and the foolishness of our post-modern culture are no match for the gospel of Christ. Those who do not believe, do not, for they are condemned already(John 3:18). |

John Yes and so shut the door its us four and no more. I never said anything was a match for scripture. I said if you want people to hear you sometimes you need to get their attention with something they believe, are interested in, speculate about, think about, wonder about, etc. EdB |

"John Yes and so shut the door its us four and no more" Ed, where in the world do you get the idea that this old saw applies to what I believe? There will come a day when the last person to be saved will be saved. But that day and that person is known to God alone. In the meantime our job is to preach the gospel to all nations and all people. Please don't pigeon hole me according to pre-concieved ideas you may have about calvinists. I agree that there are certain groups that are what is called hyper-calvinist and they might fit your stereotype, but, please do not include me in this fringe group. It is akin to saying all pro-life ers support the murder of abortionists. It's just nonsense! I also did not say, nor did I mean to imply that you said "anything was a match for scripture". I was merely emphasising what we bith know to be the truth. Generally, I look for an opportunity to ask the person what they would say to God if He asked them "Why should I let you into Heaven?". The answer (9 out of 10 times) is "good works". If the fellow is the one out of ten that says he does not believe in God or Heaven, I ask him to answer for the sake of arguement. "Suppose you did believe in a Creator, then what do you think your answer to God would be?". Oftimes this provides a basis for the presentation of the gospel itself. John |

John John you have as much as have said this many times. You have successfully blown all preconceived notions about Calvinist I ever had out the door, and replaced them with a bitter memories. And if you don't fit the definition of a Hyper Calvinist then I can't within my wildest imagination dire picture they must paint. EdB |

EdB - Search the world over and my guess is you will find a few human beings on the planet who admit to be Calvinists, but you won't find one of them who admits to be a hyper-Calvinist. --Hank | ||||||
