The True Meaning Of The Cross (Paul Washer)

[TheSidewalkSinner]

You're amazing Tony. Thank you for what you do in response to the great commission. Be bold, and be blessed.

Chris, OKC

Thank you Tony for sharing this. It is truly speaking to the heart. May the Father draw men and women unto Jesus Christ. He does not want any to perish in the fire of hell, but wants all men everywhere, to repent and turn from their sins so that they can be saved from the eternal destruction of hell. He loves us so much!!

By accepting a book, written by men, that is proclaimed to be the "word of God", is to substitute original creative thought, with the dead letter of memorized dogma, and relegated to living life through chapter and verse of a book that has been lifted up, as a golden calf of idolatry ! even your reply to my statement, could only be addressed by throwing out a line of yet, another chapter and verse, from your graven image, the Bible ! Christianity is the antichrist !  Amen !

[TheLawman104]

"For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God . . . The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned." (1 Corinthians 1:18; 2:14)

Praying for your blasphemous, lost soul.

That was the last comment you will have posted on this channel.

Christianity is a curse - and the cross is not only a sign of that curse , but a symbol of how humanity has been the recipient of the most heinous crimes ever - that in being born sinners , we need redemption, through the bloody sacrifice of Jesus - all of this , because some people accepted this lie and made it their truth, and then compelled by their own self-righteousness to go out into the world and judge - condemn and threaten hell if people don't accept Jesus - this is the cross ! !

[TheLawman104]

I have an answer for that...

"Answer not a fool according to his folly,

lest you be like him yourself" (Proverbs 26:4).

What compells me so about this is the visual metaphor it represents: A man holds the message of the cross, while people pass by it in their busy world.

One well-dressed family walks right by it, seeming to turn their backs to it intentionally as though it were a threat to their way of life - but who confronts it & even receives material? An unlikely young couple, clad in black.

We never know who'll receive the message, we just know the promise of the Word - that it will be "many."

[TheLawman104]

I appreciate your observations. Very thoughtful.

For the record: the father of the Asian family that came to the intersection did accept the gift of a gospel tract.

Praying that all those who received tracts that evening will repent and believe the gospel.

7.5 minutes

377 cars

1.5 people per car (rough estimate)

566 people

At that rate, if you stood there for 1 hour, then 4,245 people would have possibly seen your cross with the question on it to pick at their heart and minds.

Impressive!

[TheLawman104]

Wow. What's impressive is that you counted all the cars in the video. :-) Thanks for taking the time to do that. I was out there for more than an hour the day I shot the video. So, its very encouraging to hear those numbers.

If you have the time, would you please post your comment on the blog post for this video? There are a number of people who are now carrying crosses. I'm sure they will be encouraged, too.

Tony, Tony, Tony!!! EXCELLENT way of getting the Gospel out to those who are fearful of speaking. Thank you for the idea.

Praise be to the God of Israel.

[TheLawman104]

Glad you were encouraged, brother. I've been carrying the cross somewhere, almost every day, for the last few months.

[krisv001]

amazing message !

[omozuapo]

I got an inspiration that we should carry our cross daily maybe a minimum of three hours for God alone, in reading the Bible, prayers, preaching and visitation. He hung on His cross for three hours
