Subject: Wisodom has the power to save? |
Bible Note: Dear John, 1)Mathew 18:15 says If your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother. Sinning is simply missing the mark, when we don't give the lost the saving message of the Gospel when we are teaching them the scriptures we are missing the mark. All I was doing was pointing out to him this point, not having a confrontational attitude toward my techer. This teacher and I had a running open conversation about this via email for two solid weeks in the spirit opennes and of getting at the truth. This is what I meant by confronting him, I did it in a gentle manner, I started by asking him some questions, not blasting him out of the water. 2)The ubelievers heard the parables because Jesus intended that their ears and eyes whould remain closed because they rejected the messenger, He told the disciples that the parables were for them to understand the msyteries. 3)The Sermon on the Mount is one example of Jesus preaching about the kingdom having come in their midst which was the way people were getting saved then, by repenting of their sins and believing that Jesus was God. 4)Revelation of God and Christ is progressive, from the OT to the NT and from when Jesus was walking around preaching repentance and the kingdom is come to Pentecost after which the disciples stopped preaching repentance and the kingdom is come and started preaching repentance and the crucufixion of Christ. Which should be the gospel we preach to get people saved? 5)I have noticed that I am seen in here at least as being confrontational if I am willing to give an answer for the hope that lies within me, for lack of a better way of stating it. Why is that? 6)When I was gathered with the unbelievers I went along with the program without pointing out anything, or segueing into the gospel message, I waited until we were in private. 7)Glad you are still willing to communicate, God Bless, Tamara |
