Street Preachers call out Roman Catholics at Easter. Do we follow Jesus, or the doctrines of men?

Mark 7
[6] He [Jesus] answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
[7] Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctines the commandments of men.
[8] For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
[9] And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

attacking people is not witnessing and sharing the gospel. on the internet we call it ad hominem attacks.

Then you do indeed deem Jesus as "attacking" people.

Matthew 23
[13] But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
[14] Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
[15] Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
[16] Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!
[17] Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
[18] And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
[19] Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
[20] Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
[21] And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
[22] And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
[23] Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
[24] Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
[25] Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
[26] Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
[27] Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
[28] Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
[29] Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
[30] And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
[31] Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
[32] Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
[33] Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
[34] Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
[35] That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
[36] Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.

and that person is not Jesus.

Jesus did and said so many things that Christians cannot do or say today. Certain things only apply to Him and not us.

You need to study hermenuetics and how to study and apply Scripture using context.

Look at how often JESUS exposed the pharisees and warned the people not to DO as they do .
JESUS own desciples once told him , LORD did you know not this saying offended them .
JESUS did not say , OH dear i was not loving , let us go back and try and speak softly unto them .
NO HE said every plant that my Father has Not planted shall be rooted up .
If we would but examine how JESUS approached , how even the aposltes in acts would later witness , we would be suprised .
This not warning folks is just a way to shut down any kind of correction . It is a way to stop
them from feeling bad and convicted . Folks often do get offended at the truth .
Save some through fear , hating even the garment spotted by the flesh , others with compassion .
I say we need only more men to get up and start trying to warn these churches . Warn some in fear
others in compassion . BUT DO SOMETHING . Dont just let them DIE in a delusion , die in sin . WHAT Kind of love
does that . NOT the LOVE OF GOD . JESUS IS PROOF . the apostels , READ ACTS and see what they said , see how they witenssed .
JUST LIKE JESUS DID . IF we love folks we would not allow them to die in sin , to die under a delusion . NO we would do something .
And i aint saying everyone has to get a bull horn and warn . But do something . Time is running out . NOT only that , but no man
knows thier final hour . WE must have some kind of sense of urgency for these lost souls . Rome is decieving everything it takes in .
SO are many others as well . WE must do something , IF WE LOVE these people . COME YE OUT FROM AMONGST THEM

So you are comparing the person in the video to Jesus correct ?

1- Jesus was the one being attacked by the pharisees. They were out to get Him and set traps on numerous occasions to try and get Him arrested and killed.

2- This guy is soliciting or antagonizing people at their own church parking lot and harassing them, forcing it down her throat.

3- The Apostles were Jews speaking publicly to other Jews about Jesus being the promised Messiah who was crucified for their sins as promised in the O.T.

Amen! You said it so well because you used the Scriptures. God bless you on this Resurrection day (Easter).

Paul was not JESUS either . BUT BY the SPIRIT he often warned and was very grave , putting the fear of GOD into some
and others you save with compassion . Look at stephen . Look how he rebuked
and then even after they stonned him , he still said Lord hold not this sin to their charge .
Look at peter , james and others . None of them were JESUS , but they ALL HAD the SPIRIT .
WE must do something . Todays version of loving folks to GOD , aint loving them at all to GOD , tis loving them right to desruction and perdtion
at their end . Its getting so bad now , i have seen bishops and leaders who now say its not necessary to even
prolesytize . AND WORSE i see them saying things like GOD is fine with homosexuality , sins and even other religoins .
AND all because NO ONE will stand up against them . Instead they just sit and go with the flow
and worse and worse it gets . Because Just a little leaven , IF LEFT UNCORRECTED , WILL IN TIME LEAVEN THE ENTIRE LUMP .
AND ITS what we are seeing now .

Yes indeed its ressurection day .
We must use scripture . Because many men and women today , reason things out by thier own carnal mind , NOT BY the SCRIPTURE .
THIS is why the churches have failed and grow much worse and specially as of late . NONE will correct
and thus leaven rises to the full if left uncorrected .

This never ceases to amaze me... I hear there are some openings at the Westboro Baptist church...
Bring your own NASTY sign condeming people.

Typical deflection. Use Westboro Baptist Church to shame people into saying nothing. Satan loves shutting down the preaching of the truth, and he oftentimes uses so called Christians to do it.

Addy . westboro is a sorry example . Because they never try and point anyone to Christ .
I said this a while back .
WE have several groups . Some see and teach only the severity of GOD and not the goodness of GOD .
THUS they go in a direction that leads to condmening folks and never once offering the solution to said sins .
WHICH IS JESUS .
However the much larger group , JUST as false , they have left off beholding the severity of GOD and
as a result even the goodness they do preach is a false goodness . IT has led folks into accepting sins , instead of repentance .
WE MUST BEHOLD BOTH the SEVERITY and GOODNESS of GOD . JUST let us learn the scriptures well .

Seeker friendly was a recipe for total destruction .
It was about numbers .
They set up a strategy on HOW to get FOLKS INTO CHURCHES .
WHEN the truth is , ALL we need to do is preach all truth pointing to JESUS .
AND whoever comes amen . GOD is the one IN CONTROL . HE alone is the only one who can even give the increase .
WE must simply stick to preaching truth . AND whoever comes , comes .
BUT no , they went out and asked sinners what would it take to get you into church .
THEY FED the flesh , to get them into the churches . AND worse to keep them in said churches
they continue to just entertain them .
IF we feed a mans fleshly appetite , then all we have won is a wordly man unto the world and not unto CHRIST .
Preach sound doctrine , LET GOD give the increase . We only plant and or water . BUT GOD alone gives the increase .
THUS we must simply speak truth . Save some through fear , others through compassion . BUT ENSURE
you are always speaking TRUTH to them . Not that which feeds their flesh .

I think we need to clean up our own backyards before attempting to "correct/condemn" those we don't even know.
Correction is HIGHLY ABUSED within the body... and it is often used as an excuse to judge others. God is the judge.

Street preaching is NOT effective in changing anyone... but it is effective in keeping non-believers far away from God.
I have family that are legalistic... and I can't stand being in their company because all they do is correct and condemn.
Nasty brood of vipers.

And an even simplier way to make the point is this .
DID JESUS ever concern himself about numbers . OR DID HE SIMPLY speak truth and whoever came came
and whoever rejected rejected .
WELL a good point is where JESUS had told them a parable . And they percieved the parable was against them so they got offended .
THEN JESUS own desciples came to HIM and said , BUT LORD , dont you realize this saying OFFENDED THEM .
And what was the response of JESUS .
LEAVE THEM BE , they are BLIND leaders of the Blind , Both shall fall into the ditch . EVERY PLANT that ........MY FATHER
has not planted shall be rooted up .
And as i said learn what even the apostels did . ONLY GOD can give the increase .
Simply speak the truth . These souls need to be warned . In the end
its either eternal life or eternal damnation .
Remember that well . Paul , and he gets this from ezzekial , once said
I am pure of the blood of all men , for i have NOT shunned to warn .
IFwe love folks we would warn folks .

You are correct on one point . YES INDEED we better have our own eyes clear before we can see how to pull the speck out .
THIS Is why i say , learn JESUS CHRIST . LEARN the biblical JESUS , HIS PATTERN , the same pattern the apostels would also keep and teach .
Now as concerning street preaching . JESUS himself said go ye out into the streets , the by ways and so forth and COMPEL THEM
to come into MY HOUSE . And paul himself went into JEWISH synagogues and Taught and even warned them .
Its why many souls were won and tis also why that man was hunted from place to place by those who resisted truth .
FIRST , my advice is that we go back into our bibles and learn this pattern very well .

John 14:12
[12] Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do

Amazing how people who frequent these boards make naked contradictory statements against their Bibles.

I’m not a fan of these street preaching things, but if that’s what they feel they are called to do, who am I to judge them.
