The Open Table - Donald Miller - "Discussion with Don"

[83th4nn]

1:40 minutes in and Don FINALLY moves!! Lol

[markolyshko]

they seem so serious in the beginning

[marushamomma]

What about sin and repentance?

[crookedankle]

think he meant that the guys beliefs made him more christian friendly. going from buddhism to christianity may be easier than muslim to christianity. kind of harsh to call him a pagan, when he's trying to get people to read about jesus.

[FINDTheREALJesus]

Buddishm is a Natural gateway to true Christianity...did I actually here him just say that!!! Wake up Buddism is PAGAN

[sampsonbeagle]

@FINDTheREALJesus Christianity is TRUTH, I think you and I would agree on that. Don Miller and the Open Table opportunity provides an environment where people of all beliefs, or no belief can gather and talk together and ask the tough questions and be REAL. We should not be afraid of false religions, if we are spreading Truth, which I agree we are, then it will prevail. God is more powerful than our misconceptions and inaccurate beliefs.

[Godlovesstella]

@sampsonbeagle I agree with you except for one point - Jesus is the TRUTH ("I am the way, the truth, and the life"), not Christianity. Sometimes people get confused and look only to whatever version of Christianity they subscribe to, but it's really Jesus himself who is the Truth.

[sampsonbeagle]

@Godlovesstella You get no argument from me for that. Jesus IS my Christianity, but I certainly get your point :-)

[FINDTheREALJesus]

Nice 5 pointed star on his shirt. Why don't people start reading the bible instead of following after man and the world. Jesus warned about this but nobody is listening.

[jericho1212]

@FINDTheREALJesus - we all listen and learn from the people around us. you learned from your parents. they weren't Jesus but they gave you insight and understanding. just because someone presents their viewpoint doesn't mean they are a heretic- it just means they have a different approach and could easily say the same about you. Your argument seems rather hollow and you should engage in discussion rather than judgement.

[Amnivor1]

OK so how much leeway are we supposed to give people??? They come up with their own gospel and we are just supposed to "not judge" and let them spread false teaching?? If he had a Swastika on his shirt could I judge him then?? What's your cut off point? Aren't we supposed to contend for the faith once delivered to the Saints?? This is HERESY

[jericho1212]

@Amnivor1 It's not your job to condemn, judge, or show anything to others but love. If they have a swastika on their shirt, then you realize that perhaps they are a broken individual who needs love and tenderness rather than confrontation. It's not your place to judge. We have two commands: Love God, Love people (and introduce them to the gospel of grace). While your tactics seem to mimic the gospel, your heart clearly is hardened toward those farthest from the cross who need Christ the most.

[Amnivor1]

Jericho, I see your point but do you realize you are doing exactly what you are accusing me of by responding to my reply?? You are judging me for supposedly judging others. Is it YOUR job to judge ME??? Wheres the love??

[jericho1212]

@Amnivor1 I actually am missing your argument because there's a difference between judgment and unsolicited advice. Of course I don't truly know your heart, and my apologies for coming across as judgmental. I only fear that Christians ere on the side of judgment than grace.

[Amnivor1]

Jericho I do see your point but I think sometimes we need to take a stand when it comes to the true gospel. There is so much false Christianity out there and it's dangerous. Instead of "critiquing" You tube videos I am shifting my energy to laying tracts and soul winning can't go wrong there!! God Bless
