    Are Pastors Teaching a Watered-Down Gospel?

    Some do. Some always have, going back millinum. More important question: are you learning a watered-down Gospel? Where is your scripture study and prayer? Are you living a watered-down Gospel? Are you following Christ earnestly with your heart, mind, and soul... or just be luke warm about...

    Street Preacher cries out: The soul who continues to sin will die

    I think you wand I are talking about two different subjects here. My original point was that all Truth should be preached in love and charity, else we become tinkling cymbals. This came up because easy majority of street preachers, well frankly most street preachers spend majority their time...

    Has anyone changed their mind...?

    Beautifully said.

    Street Preacher cries out: The soul who continues to sin will die

    Yes, but we may not see all the fruits a person has. And never downplay the importance of looking upward and conversing with God about His Truth.

    Has anyone changed their mind...?

    It depends largely on who is doing the posting. If someone is out just to attack others (bringing negativity to the table), no such attacks have never swayed me. However, I have learned a lot about psychology and I do observe how that person opperates. If someone is respectfully sharing their...

    Street Preacher cries out: The soul who continues to sin will die

    But asking that person "are you following the Truth or counterfit" is not a productive question. Instead, we should ask God "what is your Truth and how may I best follow it?"

    Street Preacher cries out: The soul who continues to sin will die

    And everyone thinks that the beliefs they follow are the Truth (hence why the follow them) and that those that disagree are the counterfit. Bob points fingers at Bill saying "you're the counterfit" and Bill points fingers right back saying "you're the counterfit". Hence while it is super...

    Street Preacher cries out: The soul who continues to sin will die

    That is non-productive question. Obviously each person here believe that they are following the true Gospel. And obviously there are going to be people who disagree, ranging from peacefully to pulling out pitchforks. Pulling out pitchforks is of course goes no where. This same could be said...

    Street Preacher cries out: The soul who continues to sin will die

    Pst- I'm technically austitic too (I say technically because I hate labels). There's nothing wrong with being through as you have been. Don't be ashamed of your studies, your walk with Christ, or yourself.

    So, You Think It's Tough To Be a Christian?

    If you love, then declare Christ and follow His commands. Thurst the beam out of your eye, and declare HIs good things. And that's the last thing I'm going to say here, because there is nothing productive to be had.

    So, You Think It's Tough To Be a Christian?

    You spread hate, fear, and mockery about Catholicism. I've seen you do the same about other faiths. There's not getting around it. Like I said, there's nothing productive to be had here.

    When Christians do Satan's Work

    Speaking my thoughts: while in the mortal life, there's always going to be a vail (aka things we just don't know) and you're always going to be looking through a lens (which does focus/alter perspectives). These are two unavoidable facts. The best thing any of us can do is to conscious of...

    Thank you for clarifying your definition.

    So, You Think It's Tough To Be a Christian?

    Spread love, hope, and Truth. Not hatred, fear, and mockery. Now, as I said, you and I are two very different wavelengths, and I don't see this conversation being productive.

    When Christians do Satan's Work

    "Vail" and "lens" have to very different connotations. Was "vail" the word you wanted to use here?

    When Christians do Satan's Work

    There's actually several equations here: 1) Can we separate out these lens? 2) Should we seperate out these lens? 3) Is a person willing to separate out these lens? The answer to each of those questions varies person to person. Honestly, as an inter-faith nerd, I spend a lot of time studying...

    So, You Think It's Tough To Be a Christian?

    You and I ware on two VERY different wavelengths here. Honestly I don't see much productivity to be had in conversation.

    When Christians do Satan's Work

    The Bible is always looked at through several lens. This is not inherently a bad thing-- after all we want to include some lens like historical/cultural context, the Spirit, etc. Those lens should never go away. There's other lens like theological and historical interpretation, personal...

    So, You Think It's Tough To Be a Christian?

    With all due respect, Phoneman777, I'm just seeing a man (you) who's unwilling to cast the beam out of his eye.
