The best way to start a conversation with an atheist, homosexual, Buddhist, a Muslim, or even a professing Christian, is to ask the question: "Are you a good person?" This is a non-judgmental, non threatening way to start a conversation about the gospel to an unsaved person. Then we can ask...

I was testing you if you could tell me. I know where the curse came from but I just wanted to hear it from you. Not judging you in any way or questioning your faith at all. But I am just interested in what people think about why Jesus died on the cross for us. The minister in my Union church...

That is without doubt! :) Actually, the twists and turns of this thread resulted in true believers pointing out that the virgin Mary did have other children after Jesus, because the Scripture says clearly that He had brothers and sisters. But the unteachable ones who reacted against it were...

If I happen to believe that worshiping idols in violation of the 2nd Commandment is putting a precious soul in danger of judgment and hell, then I think I should at least warn them. I can't change what they believe, so when Christ refuses to know them at the judgment because of their idol...

Yeah...Right!

You are avoiding my question because you know I am right! :-)

If someone came into your LDS church and started publicly slagging off Joseph Smith and calling you all worshipers of demons and on the road to hell, would your elders speak to him nicely, or would they frog march him out the door??

Paul was not backward in coming forward to name and shame those who were opposed to the gospel of Christ and who were corrupting the faith of believers. And John was going to visit a church and deal decisively with the guy who was taking the preeminence and bullying members, throwing them out...

So, if you saw a man on his second floor balcony having his breakfast coffee and toast, and there was a fire raging in his basement, would you stand there and warn him in a still small voice? I guess not!!! You would yell for all your worth, "You house is on fire! Get out of there!!!!"

:p

Jesus did not treat the hypocritical Pharisees with "love" at all. If anyone treated a religious leader the way that Jesus did, they would be accused of hate speech! We are to thoroughly and bluntly oppose false doctrines of demons, but lovingly but clearly warn those who are deceived by them...

You and I have had some very extensive debates concerning the LDS church, and I have been pretty forthright about what I have said about it at times. Was I being disrespectful to you or acidic in my remarks, or was I giving clear, blunt views at times? When I said "rat poison", I was referring...

Where did the curse come from?

No. I would do what I could to get them out of the car.

Tell that to our RCC friends. They are the ones who are responding with acid and abuse. I am just being forthright in exposing false doctrines of demons, and warning people who believe in them that they are risking their future in the judgment.

I'd accept what you are saying - except the reference to Christ's mother. Mary is not in heaven with Christ at all. That is one of the poisonous soul-destroying doctrines that is tantamount to idolatry. Mary is in the grave awaiting the resurrection of the just in Christ. Christ taught...

Then they should have another Council and amend the Council of Trent by taking out the anathema for those who believe in justification by faith alone in Christ apart from works.

If you were passing by and saw a car with a family in it stalled on the railway tracks and a train was bearing down on them, would you go up to the car and say in a sweet respectful voice, "I don't want to offend you, but I think you should get out of the car right now"? Or would you yank the...

Maybe you should be telling them the same, because they are certainly not being a bit respectful to me. In fact, their responses bring their Church into disrepute and advertise accusative, abusive, acrimonious and acidic behaviour as normal for them.

To Grailhunter: And? :rolleyes:
