LOL you're so pathetic. Truth? The truth is that you haven't gotten anywhere with what you've been doing. Half of the BB has tried to help, to no avail. All you can do is come up with a meaningless insult about gremlins.

Peter in Acts, as he gave unto them the facts of jesus being the Messiah of God, who died on the Cross, and rose again!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.
Paul, when he called the Gospel the very power of God unto salvation, an did not include Law in that!
Not true not true. I have prayed with and spoken with many in my witnessing adventures.
We'll grant that part then. But the street preaching has seemed to be less than optimal, based on your previous posts.
It makes no difference! People are exposed to the seed and God will make it grow. I believe in the doctrine of election and the effectual call which I have no idea when it happens in the called. Someone may get a tract from me or hear a open air message and come to faith Years later.
If so, why does using the specific law-based/WOTM method seem so important to you? Could not other methods also plant such seeds?
Just think more effective ue of your time wouldl be to focus on those around you at work and in family, pray, and witness towards them!
I never once said I am WOTM Only. I am WOTM preferred. I do not always use the law in my witnessing. I just prefer it and think it's the best way to expose sin.
I have!
I didn't say you only used WOTM, but you do seem quite attached to it.
Why do you think it's the best way, if you are mostly relying on seed planting as your measure of success? I guess I don't understand.
In fairness, he seems to be rather aggressive in his efforts generally, including mailing letters, preaching, etc.
Good, as that will prove to be more good for the Kingdom sake than thenother stuff!
True, but think tat God likes to use more of a focused rifle approach, than a scattergun one!
Wouldn't method (as long as it is not inappropriate) essentially be irrelevant if Calvinism is true, though?
You have no idea how or what God uses. As far as I am concerned I meditate on Isa 55-Thy word shall not return void.
The Bibleteachs many waysto witness, and th most effective one long term is personal involvemet in others lives, to live as a Christian should, antell them of Jesu when can!
Oops, my bad.
Yes, Jesus expounded upon the Law, painting a picture of true righteousness in the Sermon on the Mount. Those passages were intended to make a different point, and when I referred back to them I was thinking about the passages where the gospel was presented to those outside of the Jewish faith community.
Jesus did not consistently use the Law in His sermons though. That's a point that I believe is important to this discussion.
Thank you for calling out my error!
Don't completely dismiss them, but take responsibility for what the Bible actually says instead of deferring responsibility to someone else to tell you what they think God says.
That's one of the defining assumptions of the whole Protestant Reformation - stop relying on the popes and priest to interpret the Bible, but to interpret it in a faith community where everyone is led by the Spirit and can help each other out.
In Acts 17:11, the Bereans didn't just take Paul at his word. They studied the scriptures to see if everything they heard was true. This is commendable and an example for all of us.
Of course! I strongly and proudly take the biblical position. You should consider taking it too.
I think even your faith heroes would say the same thing.
