Featured Did I write in gentleness and respect?

I would question the wisdom of this. At times, you seem easily influenced by others' doctrines. Just be VERY careful.

This is not "unkindness", but a brotherly warning based on Christian concern.

 

I agree on that Jesus spoke strong condemnation against false teachers. However, it is worth noting that He didn't set out on a mission to confront them and correct them. He confronted them when they tried to interrupt His daily dealings with the people.

And He didn't try to reason with the unreasonable. He proclaimed truth, and His reasoning was with people who had a genuine interest in the truth.

Look at the woman at the well and Nicodemus, who He spent time convincing. Yet He spoke parables to Jews who were hard hearted.

There's a time and place for everything, and a proper approach toward people. Paul also spent time reasoning with people who were interested. And those who weren't....well, he shook the dust off his feet and went on

 

It seems that you seek validation thru being persecuted. Jehovah's Witnesses make this errant connection, too. If the message alone doesn't bring persecution your house way, then your message isn't truth

Huh?!?

Paul said, and it is the truth, that the cross is an offence. That means - simply put - that if you preach the cross, people will become offended. Jesus also said we would be hated for His Name.

There is absolutely ZERO admonition to go looking for an opportunity to correct, condemn, or coerce people into a theological position that's false from the word "go"

So what if they leave their falsehood, and fall into the ditch of Lordship Salvation? What's been accomplished? They leave one error for another, and end up no better off?

That's great.

Or you could go out in the streets and preach the cross. Stop it with your self righteous works-based message that you mask with theological words like "repentance and sin"

That's nothing but a millstone around the neck of any who fall prey to it.

Preach Christ and HIM crucified. Mac and Washer did not die for the church. Trust CHRIST, the spotless Lamb of God.

And after you've preached Christ, and not some sinfully contrived "response" doctrine that pushes Christ aside for fleshly works, then trust GOD ALONE to work in the hearts of men.

Get down off your pedestal of self-appointed fruit inspector and preach Christ.

 

You're the one opening that door. How about doing something, without announcing to the world what you're doing. How about doing something worth doing.

Who are you to judge?
