Subject: Attitudes or Beattitudes?? |
Bible Note: Radioman2, I can't arguee with you on that. Been there, done that, and got a t-shirt for it. A few years ago I had this crazy idea about evanglizing Jehovah Witnesses. I seriously got up on Saturday Mornings and went to the street corners where they were handing out Watchtower Mags. I had been dealing with these two men for awhile. One of them was deeply grounded in his belief, he wasn't going anywhere, or so that's the impression he gave me. His partner on the other hand started taking interest in some of the questions that were being asked. His partner couldn't get around the truth and he started to pick this up. The discussion was on the destruction of the world taken out of II Peter 3. I was consteadly being hit with; "No, you're wrong."; "It doesn't mean that."; the whole nine yards. I ended up loosing my cool and came outta my mouth with, "I don't care what the bible says, I'm telling you what it means!!" End of story. Everything said from that point was wasted energy. This is an open line of communication. You might not be able to get through to the person you're corrisponding with, but you have no idea how you're effecting the person who's following your conversation. |
