Bible Note: Thank you Charis, that was helpful. In this particular case I responded in the way I felt led, but based on the posts afterward I began to doubt my approach. When I was an unbeliever (a very short while ago) I remember how frustrated I would get at people who quoted the Bible to me when I didn't believe in it. That would be like someone quoting the Quoran to me now. It would be wasting their breath because I don't believe the Quoran. I used to just want someone to discuss the existence of God with me without requiring me to (first) believe in the Bible. But I know you are absolutely correct. It is the Holy Spirit of God that convicts a person, not us! We do not convict, convince or convert. God does that. In the future I will follow the leading of the Holy Spirit and not doubt the way I am being led. |
