Bible Question: God has not given us the spirit that leads to us fearing again. Is the reason we don't let them in because we are not wanting to be seen in fellowship with them or is it that we are afraid that they might influence us to waver from our faith? 2. How do we know that we might be able to bring them to the Lord, if we engage them? |
Bible Answer: mdc14561 This same attitude is the reason many young people marry non believers. These people are trained to hunt for your soft spot, something you question about Christianity. Once they find it they will show their logical answer. The idea is if they can do this often enough a person will start questioning those that say their a cult. If on the other hand you start to hit their soft spot they will be told to have no more contact with you. Have you ever noticed some cultic groups tell their people not to listen to Hank Hanegraaff? Why because their afraid Hank will peel back their onion and expose them and they will lose people. Unless the person is seeking the truth your basically wasting your time. Again nothing is impossible with God. EdB |
