Interview with Priest

[Rolfe]

Evan- You seem to miss Jordan K.'s point and the spirit in which it seems to have been offered.

I do not send books, nor recommend someone to buy one, because I know they will not.

How many times have you said that you have sent or recommended an unsaved individual read a book? The cousin in prison, for example.

Also I am not following the methods of men...

Be led by the spirit, He will teach you what you ought to say in the very hour. If He does not, keep to yourself and pray.

Well in the Way of the Master book there are chapters on evangelizing with the cults and false teachers. Comfort says to only use the 10 commandments with them, and to not make arguments other than that. With atheists he says the same thing. This is a good approach, however the PROBLEM with it, is that Mormons and Catholics will admit to having broken the Moral law, but are still very lost, and also need arguments that refute their doctrine and this is where it is wise to also evangelize the intellect. For example this father that I spoke with I am preparing a letter that will not only address the moral law, but also the doctrine of Justification by faith alone (Eph 2:8-10), and the doctrine of the Bible, as he seems to pick and choose what he believes to be inspired, and verses that offend him he ignores and says they are not original. This is a great opportunity to use apologetics books defending the inerrancy of the scripture.
But regardless it is only God that can grant repentance and faith (2 Cor 4), all I can do is obey him and always be ready to give an answer (1 Pt 3:15). Does this make sense?

I understand the part that salvation is of God and not dependent on our effort. I also understand appealing to a people who accept God's moral law through that moral law (that common ground). The rest I really don't understand (the part about evangelizing the conscience, or the intellect, or the mind). But that's OK, and thanks for taking the time to respond.

We are to preach the Cross of Christ, that God became a man and died in their sread, and was raised up again....

How is that "preaching the Law?"
