Featured Tell the Truth by Will Metzger Calvinist evangelism

JonC, I think the above is "spot on." But you may have hidden meanings, if we delved into what you meant by the use of some of your words, that I would disagree with.

For example "draw" is used metaphorically in scripture to mean to attract by lovingkindness, rather than drag by irresistible grace.

Evangelism is more than proclaiming what we believe is the gospel, we are to "bear witness" with our lives, i.e. walk the talk, and we are to bring to light the good news, which includes laying the foundation of why it is "good news."

 

And once again, you are not addressing the views expressed.

I could say, yes I have read it, but that would be a tad disingenuous. My copy is not dog-eared, I have not studied it. If you have a copy and would like to refer to a section by title, i.e. Packaging the Gospel, then I will address the book's view specifically.

 

Bottom line (as you love to repeatedly say) --you have misrepresented yourself. You have not read it much less studied it. Yet you presume to make pronouncements on it in post #10.

 

Yet another malicious fabrication, I have read the book, just not every word or diagram in the book.

I specially addressed bogus assertions made in the book. Now if you want to discuss the views found in the book, have at it.

 

peter's remarks to us be able to give a good report to someone asking what we believe and why, along with paul stating that we are living epistles to be seen by the unsaved, seem to argue for personal friendship type evangelism!

 

We are also commanded to be at peace with all others, if possible, and to be the light and salt before them...

Seems that the entire biblical scope idsto have persons spoken to about jesus whom we have relationships with!

 

These are your own words from post #23:
