Do Christians have a duty to preach? -
10-12-2010, 10:03 AM
My Christian coworkers asked me why I was taking off work November 19th-21st. I told them I was going to Skepticon, the annual Atheist event. Immediately one of my Christian coworkers began to give their religious testimonial talking about how he had been gay and sought help from Jesus. He said Christianity scared him strait. However as Tad was telling me of his past homosexual lifestyle his Christian buddy waked out of the room. The next day Tad's Christian buddy was avoiding me all day. In contrast I couldn't shake Tad; he was riding me all day preaching about what Jesus could do for me. I know that Tad goes to a different Church so my question is why do some sects of Christianity aggressively seek to convert everyone they know while others believe that Christians shouldn't hang around non Christians?

Yes they do:
2nd Timothy 4:1-2 "I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine."
Freedom means voting for Donald Trump!
To most "Christians" The Bible is like a license agreement. They just scroll to the bottom and click "I agree". All those "Christians" will burn in Hell!
James 2:10 "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all."

Indeed, waywardJim, all Christians are required to preach the Gospel:
1Co:9:13: Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?
1Co:9:14: Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.
1Co:9:15: But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.
1Co:9:16: For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!

Why do you write 'aggressively seek to convert' when he is in fact just trying to save your unbelieving soul from the Lake of Fire?
Revelations 21:8
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
In fact I think that this Tad is a swell guy for trying to save you - and kudos to him for overcoming homosexuality. You should definitely spend some more time with him! Instead of going to 'SkeptiDumb' conventions you and Tad should take some time off work so that can pound some of the good old Christianity into you!
To the atheists:
To the false christians:
Feel like pissing off God? Perhaps this will change your mind:
Hosea 13:16 Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.

I hate to say this, but I think Tad is still a homo and he's trying to sodomize you. Sometimes gaylords will do that to you, pretend to be Christian when they're really not.
I hope I'm wrong, but I doubt it. Unless he's gone through testicular shock aversion therapy coupled with prayer, they way we unsodomize perverts at Landover, he's under suspicion.

Jim, I like you. I think you and I should share some face time. Perhaps talk about a book and a really awesome friend of mine, he will be with me.
Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Amos 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Matthew 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

Matthew 28:19: Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost
This isn't a mormon mission the Bible is talking about, it's preaching the Word, brother, all the time. You preach it with your body, you preach it with your words, you preach in the morning lawd and all through the night (can I get a witness and a A-MEN!) you preach it in the mawnin' and the evenin' and....well.
Those nigras can preach. Sometimes you just cant help yourself.
Leviticus 13:44 He is a leprous man, he is UNCLEAN: the priest shall pronounce him utterly UNCLEAN; his plague is in his head.
2 Kings 6:25 And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver.

In general, we are instructed to avoid fellowship with unsaved trash like yourself.
II Corinthians 6:14
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
However, the LORD commands us to evangelize the world for Glory of His Kingdom, as shown in the Scripture others have already cited for you here. For the purpose of evangelism, it is necessary to talk to unsaved trash, so we do so in that one circumstance. That is precisely why we allow the likes of you on our private church forum: there is still hope for you, and we want to win you over and have you kneel before the wondrous cross, that there may be great joy in Heaven at your Salvation™!
Luke 15:10
Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
Imagine how pleased Jesus is with us when we win another soul for His Glory. But outside of winning souls for Jesus, we are instructed to have nothing to do with unsaved trash. It is a very utilitarian approach that I'm sure you can appreciate.
II Thessalonians 1:7-9
And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power
The man who is being progressively sanctified will inescapably sanctify his home, school, politics, economics, science, and all things else by understanding and interpreting all things in terms of the Word of God and by bringing all things under the Dominion of Christ the King. -R.J. Rushdoony

Yes, Wayward Jim, Christians have a duty to preach. And I am not sure that I am comfortable over what you are doing with that tree.
Get Jesus and get a girl, Jim. Less splinters that way.

Perhaps Jim is trying to subtly inform us that he likes "Big Wood"?

Thanks for all the great information. I believe a lot of Atheists like myself had never figured out this difference between Christians. Some want to make me their pet project and others act as if I carry the plague. I think another side is that its just not comfortable for a Christian to be around an atheist. We have a different world view, we don't bless people when they sneeze an I know that Christians suspect that we are sitting there looking down on their Christian "insert derogatory label of choice here" beliefs.
Well Tad came at me hard and heavy with all of the dogma he'd received during his efforts to be more like everyone around him. So then I let him know that we were the same and that I didn't believe in God or Gods the same way that he doesn't. The only small difference is that he believes in one God more than I do. I don't believe in his God for the same reason that he doesn't believe in God's that others believe in.

True Christians not only have a duty to preach , but should even attempt to force a conversion if God has brought the sinner within arms reach of the righteous.
That is why I have developed a great hand grip, and use mouthwash often.
If you are going to an atheist convention, then you are in an atheist cult.
Sure , there will be lots of comic books and Star Trek groupies at the convention. BUT atheist cults do not preach any Word because they don't believe any words can convey their faith .
They simply have nothing inspirational to say about inspiration. A convention of atheist blabbering on-and-on about all the stuff they don't believe in sounds like a weekend vacation in an old folks home.
The atheist women you will meet at their conventions are mostly hippies who don't shave their legs and wear dirty tie-dyed T-shirts. Do you know how an atheist girl attracts a man?
They don't either.
Atheist women only believe in Tantric Sex, so no matter how much the Lord wants you to get some Biblical begetting, it ain't gonna happen except in your mind (and that is why the atheist sell comic books at their conventions).
waywardJim: You say: " Some want to make me their pet project and others act as if I carry the plague."
Well wwJim, have you considered that the Lord may want you to be someones good pet?
Or, God has given you the plague and you don't know it yet?
You probably got the disease when you refused to say Bless You after the sneeze.
If you believe that Tad and you are truly the same, you should workout together. I would let him spot for you on the bench, his faith will keep you from hurting yourself with vacant atheistic thoughts; and you could learn something as you gaze upwards.

Of course not! There might have been some Christians who were around the atheists and Jews who worked in the World Trade Centre, and look how that worked out for them.

So, you don't believe in God because you think God is a trick of Satan? Friend, you are very confused.
O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.
God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave. Incapable of finding justice, truth, and eternal life by his own effort, he can attain them only through a divine revelation... he who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter, but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.
