The great sin of evangelicals

What is the great sin?



You seem to be acting like your beloved rabbit: darting left and right to avoid explaining yourself.


Not preaching REPENTANCE. People need to confront unbelievers with their sin and plead for them to TURN to Christ. So few do this these days.

What makes you think you are in a position to tell people on this board how to conduct their lives. You do not qualify as a pastor by your own admission since you are not the Spiritual Leader in your household, your wife is. So until you get your household in order you really can't act like you are in a position to shepherd people to do what you want them to do.

Also the warnings about doing things for the praise of men comes to mind. There is no reason except that you are looking for pats on the back for you to come in and talk about how you argued with this person or confronted that person.

Bless you "blessedwife318"! Very well said and very appropriate!

Confront others with their sin? I would appreciate some Scriptural support for confronting others with their sin. Should an 83 year old man confront an 18 year old drug user/peddler? {In Mo. a policeman confronted an 18 year old sinner and look at the result.} Should a frail wife confront a convicted rapist? Should a young girl confront a child molester?

Plead for them to TURN to Christ? Since when do Calvinists believe in decisional regeneration?

Well if you're going to be like Jonah, you need hate the people you're preaching to and resent God for sending you. So I guess if you're looking forward to your street preaching, you're doing it wrong.

Don't forger pout. I believe Jonah had a pity party!

God called Jonah to preach to Nineveh and God called many to salvation. It was not Jonahs persuasive words but God who brought about salvation.

Do you believe that God can do a similar work in Denver, New York, San Francisco, LA, Dallas, Houston, Chicago? I believe that he can but the problem is most christians do not see a need to confront the world and to preach repentance. Most have better things to do and would rather be involved in non confrontational ministry.

Listening to a recent Way of the Master minute on confronting false teachers the suggestion was to be bold and to open up the law in doing so. Are you doing this when you confront false teachers? Are you writing letters, meetings with false prophets and calling them to repentance? If not go out and do what Jesus did.

I think if people all did these things we may see rivals in cities. So go out and call people to repentance as Jonah did!!

The great Commision of the church was and is to be towards lost sinners, and not though false teachers and false religions, as they should be exposed , but not as the primaey task of the church!
