one person wanted me to learn the teaching of Ray Comfort but I thought I would check with this forum to see if any of you have any problem with his teaching styles.
One thing if I understand it he have pointed out
Alarm bells should go off when we see statistics like this:
John 6:60-69 [sup]60[/sup] On hearing it, many of his disciples said, “This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?”
[sup]61[/sup] Aware that his disciples were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, “Does this offend you? [sup]62[/sup] Then what if you see the Son of Man ascend to where he was before! [sup]63[/sup] The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit[sup][a][/sup] and life. [sup]64[/sup] Yet there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray him. [sup]65[/sup] He went on to say, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled them.”
[sup]66[/sup] From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him.
[sup]67[/sup] “You do not want to leave too, do you?” Jesus asked the Twelve.
[sup]68[/sup] Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. [sup]69[/sup] We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.”
my point here is many people heard the teaching of Jesus and STILL left in the same way many people hear the bible and didn't go to church after that.
"294,784 decisions for Christ. Unfortunately, they could find only 14,337 in fellowship"
I m not sure if I have expressed my idea or point here clearly.
I hope someone can understand my writing /expression and can make sense of what I am trying to say and make it clear here for me
