Been trying to get our church to do this, using Facebook....

Why is depending on drugs interfering with God?

False argument. Where is the proof that the treatment will prolong suffering? Those that received smallpox vaccinations were condemned to suffer further because they weren't allowed to "let nature take its course" and contract the disease? Or be saved from death after contracting it? Does...

It always amuses me when someone invokes God's or nature's natural order. In the history of medicine, there was always a "first." The first to try some weed that healed a rash; the first to turn a mold into penicillin; the first to prevent smallpox; and so, and so on. In each case there were...

Reynolds - here's another way of looking at it, that Deacon has alluded to. The Philistines looked to Goliath as god-like. Other armies trembled at the sound of his name, much less his appearance. As long as they followed him, they were assured victory. David slew Goliath with the stone; but...

Sorry, but that's an over-generalization error. I spent 9 years in a military career field that required me to carry or be around weapons; and then I spent a few more years in a career field that, if you weren't deployed (and sometimes even if you were), you didn't see a weapon unless it was...

Thanks for the explanation. If the police academy/training school didn't catch that, then I don't have high hopes that the training for teachers will.

Reynolds - in theory, I understand what you're saying. However, in what scenario would someone who wouldn't pull the trigger volunteer to be a designated firearms carrier?

Not sure it matters one way or the other. The small stone toppled the giant. The sword made sure he stayed down.

CTB, you're mixing issues. The video was over-the-top nonsense. But trying to justify its idiocy with race issues, is making it worse. Yes, American citizens have the right to keep and bear arms. The 2nd Amendment has nothing to do with why black men are being shot by policemen. To answer...

Sorry. So many stupid, wrong premises in the first 30 seconds that I couldn't watch it.

Man, I skimmed right over that phrase. Shame on you, John. You know that's not true. What they don't like is placing equal--or more--emphasis on other books.

Are you sure? Wasn't Peter quoting David from Psalm 90?

Edited to add: We have different definitions of "friendship evangelism." I do not wait for "the right to be heard." You keep using words like "support for" and "dominate." They are your phrasing; and those things that come out of the mouth come forth from the heart (Matt 15:18). Your wording...

And yet, there was Harold Camping who held to the verses that say "to the Lord, a day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years are as a day"; and came to the conclusion that each day of creation was a thousand years long, and preached such for decades. He's dead now; but how would you...

I've read all your posts. They all focus on contact evangelism. So please answer the question: why "vs"?

So once again, what's the actual premise and purpose of this thread? Because you used "vs" in your thread title; what did you mean by that?

Okay; so what does friendship evangelism have to do with that premise? Are you going to attempt to show that Jesus never engaged in friendship evangelism?

By the way: thank you for starting the thread. Now, what's the basic premise that the thread will strive to prove or support?

Okay; and the scriptural contrast?
