Why not get a boom box, set up in downtown Denver, and play CD's of Comfort's sermons?

Paul always used th Cross and Resurrection though!
Since I listed a number of places where "the law" was not used by Jesus, Peter and Paul, your objection is simply wrong.
Perhaps you have spent so much time reading books about the Bible that you are not actually familiar with the Bible itself? Or perhaps you aren't interested in actually looking up the passages I specified and checking things out for yourself? Or perhaps you have taken an incorrect position and are too proud to even consider that you might be wrong?
Did Jesus occasionally use the Law when we talked with people about eternal life? Sure, but not as much as you might expect. The issues of "the law" came up most frequently in His clashes with the religious establishments who were trying to use "the law" to accuse Him or shut Him down.
When we get to the Book of Acts and see the message of Jesus going beyond the Jewish community to the peoples around the Roman world, "the law" barely referenced in the gospel presentations.
So Jesus did not routinely use "the law" when talking to interested parties about eternal life. Peter did not use "the law" when talking to non-Jewish people about eternal life. Paul did not use "the law" when talking to non-Jewish people about eternal life.
Your "WRONG. THEY USED THE LAW" tantrum is a sign of biblical ignorance and/or a rebellious attitude - not something that is helpful in evangelism. Maybe that's why you haven't had a convert.
I think I need to dig out my book "what did Jesus Do?"
Or, perhaps, the gospels?
Or the rest of te Apostles for that matter!
How did Jesus use the Law?
Put all those books away and spend some serious time in the Bible. I would prefer that you read the whole Bible through - in a careful fashion, not just a reading plan designed to get you through in a year - so that you can get the full sweep of the story, but in your case, it will probably be better to start with the New Testament:
Set aside all of the things you have been told, and work through the gospels carefully, verse by verse, until you believe you understand at least the gist of what is being communicated. Then carefully work through the Book of Acts and notice how the first followers of Jesus faithfully carried out the mission and calling of Jesus, and did what He did. Now that you have an understanding of Paul and his life and ministry from the Book of Acts, read his letters carefully, remembering that he was writing to the many churches he had started along the way, as well as some he was hoping to visit. Then read the rest of the New Testament letters in light of everything you have learned previously.
I guarantee you will be able to see the errors of many of the people you admire after you go through the source material. Many of the people you admire have good things to say and you can learn from them, but they are not infallible authorities, and some seem to be wrong in their distinctive teachings more often than they are right.
Our friend just needs to do it as the Bible did... His autors are at times messing up their methods!
Just because I disagree with you does not mean my argument is not biblical.
The methods that you advocate from are not really what the Bible teaches though!
Thats your opinion!
The way of the master, how did Jesus and Apostles usete Law to preach to sinners?
What would you say is ..."the bible way"?
Give a detailed explanation of the "bible way".
feel free to offer a list of scriptures showing this ...bible way.
Baptist Believer,
I do not want to defend evan here, he should learn how to do that for himself,
but what you men are offering to him is flat out wrong; lets start to look;
The law....not used by Jesus
Mt 5:17-48 is nothing but an exposition of the law and their need of perfect law keeping to be saved.....they cannot do it, but Christ is the end of the law for righteousness...romans 10:4.....before you and y1 offer your little version of the
Romans road....explain how a person knows what is righteousness?

It is you and Y 1 who are seriously wrong here.

God has given us teachers to equip the saints. What this post is saying is to dismiss them and be my own authority on bible interpretation. Something someone like you would say no doubt.
If you preach as arrogantly as you post, it's no wonder no one ever listens to you.
