This is extremely sad. A guy posts a challenge to share Christ on the streets this weekend, and he is criticized for it - I might even say "verbally crucified" for it. Many people bait him. He takes the bait and loses his cool and posts things that he shouldn't. The baiters then really attack him. All on a "Christian" forum. Granted, I think evangelist6589 needs to mature. Many of his comments sound self promoting. However, although I don't know him, I see him as a young Christian with much zeal but he needs guidance. Yes, there needs to be teachability on his part, but the fruits of the Spirit (can we say love, patience, kindness, gentleness) are not exactly brightly shining in the posts of those criticizing him either. I'm not talking about those who are gently admonishing him, seeking his good. I'm talking about the rude mean-spirited comments that are made to him. Then there are the "pile-on" comments that follow.
No - I haven't been on this forum long at all. However, maybe some of you have been on so long, you've lost sight of just how cruel some of your comments are. As someone who's only been on for a few weeks, this is my perspective. I believe Jesus would be saddened at this interchange.
evangelist6589, my advice to you is to prayerfully find a Godly believer, someone you deeply respect, and ask them to disciple you. I'd get off this board. You're only being torn down here. Spend the time in the Word of God that you would normally spend here. Also, it's absolutely critical that you have a teachable and humble attitude. God bless you, my friend.
