How do you know that? Do you know what the will of the Father is?
Did the apostles who were the first of the "chosen ones" obey Christ in all things?
How many times did Jesus have to correct them about who was claiming to be the greatest?
What did he tell Peter on the night of his arrest? When the rooster crowed, what did Peter do?
When Peter cut off the ear of the High Priest's slave, what was Jesus' response?
No one can excuse sin....but at least we are doing what Christ commanded and are taking "the good news of the Kingdom" out into "the entire inhabited earth"...all bearing the same message and to teach the same truth. (Matt 24:14) I don't see the churches actively doing that because I guess they can't....or won't. Why is that? I have asked people to whom I have preached why their churches do not fulfill the great commission?...they seem to think its someone else's job. Is it?
What was the method of preaching in the first century?
Matt 10:11-14...
"Into whatever city or village you enter, search out who in it is deserving, and stay there until you leave. 12 When you enter the house, greet the household. 13 If the house is deserving, let the peace you wish it come upon it; but if it is not deserving, let the peace from you return upon you. 14 Wherever anyone does not receive you or listen to your words, on going out of that house or that city, shake the dust off your feet."
Does it sound like we should sit in a building waiting for the 'sheep" to come to us....or were we instructed to take the message out to the people? Does this suggest just overseas missionary work, or was this visiting our local area to preach to our neighbors? They walked everywhere in those days.
Acts 20:18-21...to the Ephesian elders Paul said...
"You well know how I conducted myself among you from the first day I stepped into the province of Asia, 19 slaving for the Lord with all humility and with tears and trials that befell me by the plots of the Jews, 20 while I did not hold back from telling you any of the things that were profitable nor from teaching you publicly and from house to house. 21 But I thoroughly bore witness both to Jews and to Greeks about repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus."
Again, what were the first Christians doing to spread the word...? They were "
teaching publicly and from house to house" as Jesus commanded them....that is the way that emergency services warn people of an approaching disaster, so no one is missed.
Matt 28:19-20...
"Go, therefore, and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.”
Since Jesus said that he would be "with" his disciples all the days until the end of this world system, who are doing the will of the Father by participating in the biggest preaching campaign in mankind's history, under the direction of God's son?
When was the last time any church in Christendom participated in preaching the good news of God's Kingdom to anyone?
They preach various messages to the converted in a building that they hope some people might wander into......that is not what Jesus taught his disciples to do....is it?
Or they might offer free food or other incentives to get 'backsides on seats'.....which means that people show up for the freebies.....they called them "rice Christians" in Asia, because they just came to church for the free rice that was handed out at the end of the service.
I asked you before what you thought the will of God was?.....you ignored my question....so now let me ask you this..."what is the good news of God's kingdom" that Jesus told us to preach? Please use scripture.
What is God's Kingdom, and what is its purpose that will be "good news" for people?
