Great Street Preaching

[steven84]

A demonstration of going straight through the Gospel message with someone using the Law as a school-master that drives to the cross as the only solution to sin. Then the Holiness of Christ on the cross is revealed where they say Justice and Mercy kiss... at the cross!

I tend to feel that religion should be a private matter and kept out of all public forums

I've watched a couple of these now, and I don't think I'll bother with this one.

If you haven't yet picked up on it, the debate on this forum is at, shall we say, a somewhat different level than clever little canned spiels. Other people don't learn about and come to genuine religious convictions in this way. Religious instruction is not about manipulating them with facile tactics, shallow, selective analyses, putting words in their mouths and using tricky strategies that assume that they buy into a whole raft of presuppositions before the conversation even begins. "Street preaching" is egoistic exhibitionism and little more.

Do you understand THIS simple principle? Religious belief is about more than giving intellectual assent to a series of theological assertions.

Here's an old Texas saying: "If you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch."

Very well said. It took me the better part of my life to learn this. I wish I had learned it earlier.
