Impossible as he did sometimes but it did not dominate his ministry. When he sent out the 72 what was the method?

I never win any because I do not want to? So its all on me heh? What hogwash!

Yes thanks for the correction. I forgot to cite my source at the end of the post.

Lets look at Matt 9:35 (NIV) Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. Jesus is doing open air preaching with strangers here and he does it everywhere. If gospel tracts were...

Jesus is the master and we need to follow the way of the master.

Making disciples comes after someone is saved. A lost person wants nothing to do with the cross for he is lost and in the darkness. People cant be discipled unless they are first evangelized. Your problem is that you do not understand John 6:44.

To prove that contact evangelism is the way of Jesus (The way of the Master).

Is that this is not the dominant form of evangelism practiced by Jesus, yet its the form of evangelism popular on this board and in many churches. We need to follow Jesus (The Way of the Master) and not ourselves and what "brings results to our pragmatism."

Friendship evangelism is evangelism with someone that you know over a period of time.

You do not know what contact evangelism is? Its evangelism with strangers, sometimes called confrontational evangelism. Tracts, open air preaching, and talking with strangers is contact evangelism.

So what. The evidence clearly points to a young earth and so I stand by the truth.

Yes and this means my job is far simpler in that I just memorize scripture and proclaim it, rather than having to read and memorize a half dozen apologetics books. Don't get me wrong the books by Ron Rhodes, McDowell, and others can be very helpful with those unbelievers that actually want to...

I wish I could tell the folks at Bob Jones University this. There they are very dogmatic for their position on music, and abstinence from alcohol. I also wish I could tell others that Hellfire may be metaphorical and not necessarily literal. I have hinted at this at times.

I do not wish to address this poster one on one here. But if I made a mistake sorry.

I focus on the essentials of the faith on the streets. Back in the Bible Belt many wanted to debate with me over secondary issues and I refused. That said I hold to a young earth but no question the Bible does not say. However do not tell Ken Ham this.

I hear there is a Mormon here or someone that has been influenced by Mormon thinking. So here are two questions for this person. Would you consider yourself to be a good person? If so have you perfectly kept the 10 commandments?

Wrong. When someone asks me to prove that the Bible is true and cite 10 evidences that question goes beyond scripture.

Because I am not a walking encyclopedia! I memorize scripture and quote from it often when preaching. But questions on why the Bible is true and why Christ existed go beyond scripture and are best handled by books.

In the thousands of years. I can't say for sure the exact age but it's young.
