Bible Note: Well I suppose you perhaps you are feeling rather smug? Personally, my friend, I think you have been given quite a few good answers. And for someone who was sincerely looking for a way to witness to a friend, I believe you would have been a bit more willing to receive them graciously. What you are doing is called circular logic, and if you don't mind too much my saying, you aren't really very good at it. Friend I can think of a lot better ways to witness to a friend than your brand of reasoning. Why don't you tell your friend how much you love being a child of God and how much you Love Jesus for dyeing on the cross for your sins, and how much you love getting up in the morning knowing you have eternal life in Christ? Don't you think that would be a better way to witness to a friend? Don't you think telling your friend that they are a sinner and doomed to hell if they do not repent and turn to Jesus Christ; would be a better way to witness to them, then going around in silly childish little circles? Thanks, but, no thanks. I'm not going to play with you. (smile) Friend, from the way you have been responding to notes and answers, it is quite obvious you are not witnessing to a friend. I rather think you are just having a little fun playing stump the teacher. Well friend, you are not very good at it, so please take your fun somewhere else, this is a Bible study, not a playground.
