Featured Freedom of Speech AND Abortion Centers

Agreed, this is a time where a smile and a softly spoken word will do much more then yelling and condemnation.

 

You know the great thing about the Internet? Its easy to go back and look at what someone said. You got trapped in a lie and to try to get out of it you lie again. Only after you got called on the fact that RC Sproul did not talk about Chick Tracks did you back up and say that it was not an explicit statement. And then to try to back that up you said you said that more then once when you actually only did say it once after getting backed into a corner.

I thank you in advance for the bunny I know you would give me if I was not on ignore. :thumbs:

 

If anyone cares, the relevant portion is at 18:16 (as timer counts backwards) and lasts about 3 minutes. I got the impression that Sproul has no idea what a Chick tract is. He spoke of using the fear factor in sermons.

It's important because there is a difference between an in depth sermon about Hell constructed from Bible text and a cartoon pamphlet that takes 3 minutes to read.

 

After listening to this, I agree with you assessment. He does not talk about tracts at all, but talks about using fear in Sermons. And you're right there is a huge difference between a Sermon and pamphlet.

 

It's ironic that Evan6589, a Calvinist, advocates using Chick tracts. I remember using them when I was a teenager (This Was Your Life, Big Daddy, others) and they always ended with the Sinners Prayer, something that Calvinists recoil from.

 

I don't use Chick tracts, because I've caught them with glaring inaccuracies in a couple of their tracts. They have a couple of good ones, but I cannot recommend a company that doesn't even fact check.

 

If anyone has been reading this entire thread the problem with Evan6589 interpretation skills is evident. R.C. Sproul did not approve Chick tracts. It's doubtful he even knows what they are. But Evan insists that since Sproul approves of the "fear factor" technique of evangelism, then by extension Sproul approves of Chick tracts.

And therefore, Sproul would approve of Evan going in front of abortion clinics, open air preaching and handing out Chick tracts. So Evan can rationalize in his mind that this is a viable evangelism method and even has the endorsement of one of his Calvinist heroes.

 

Very well stated. Of course when backed into a corner he then says that he didn't actually say that he approved just that it was mentioned and so he gives approval by omission of any condemnation of it.

 

In Mark 16:15 He said go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to all creation.
Not go into the world and be stupid, and I don't care if I do get band. I believe in evangelism with all my heart, I have been through Ray's course as well. But 90% of these women need to know that they are loved and not yelled by someone on a street corner that they are going to hell. Find a different way
