Zondervancom don`t twist things up if you want to review hermeneutics i did the homework already. i understand your point. Jesus sat with sinners, we need to reach out for sinners but there is a thin line between sharing the gospel and actually have comunion with the unbelievers to the point of writing a book together. that right there is dangerous. i`m not a pharisee,i`m just another wretched,sinner saved by grace

you could be accusin me to but i dont see it that way. i got your point.

If you read the book, you may have a different opinion. Luis doesn't pull any punches in sharing the Gospel and addressing legitimate questions posed by an atheist.

[discipulo123]

what relationship has the darkness with the light?. nothing. palau is so worried about his reputation. preach the gospel

[Zondervancom]

A similar accusation was leveled at Jesus (friend of sinners). Something to think about.

I want that book , is interesting and is more interesting when hes speaking with a chinese atheist . Chinese people are the most atheist people in the whole world , believe me Im chinese and my father to .

@discipulo123 The man he sat down with is not a Pharisee, nor presumably is a criminal, adulterer,or anyone else that wants Christianity eliminated and its followers killed. He is more like a student that happens to be an Atheist. That is NOT that type of sinner that Jesus sat down with, I see no danger here that you see.

@ducks4ever26 Tell your grandpa He should Talk to my Pastor to come preach here in redding

@AshillaBeige Im not self righteous You do not need to get defensive its not all christians that are the bad guys I like many more are trying to help Im sorry if someone was rude to you I am here to help I can plant the seed but only God can Water it.

[AshillaBeige]

@Stand4God91 Well, I believe you're more of a "darkness" since your religion condones slavery... yeah... and misogyny... and child abuse... murder... but you haven't read the Bible have you so you wouldn't know?

And no one likes self-righteous people..

[Stand4God91]

@AshillaBeige I'm a Christian and I care. what it is, is that We are the light because we have Jesus in our Hearts. You are the Darkness because you Don't Believe. Jesus is knocking at the door all you have to do is Open it. If you ever need Prayer im here ever need anything just ask!

I don't believe everything Professor Dawkins says. Also, I might point out I am a member of the Church of Scotland.

[Cool2BCeltic]

And God Bless Scotland (but why say that. He's blessed us enough already)

[loveroftruth7]

Cool2BCeltic,

Spoken like a true atheist!......You stick to your Richard Dawkins stuff and we Christians will stick to what God tells us in his Word the Bible.

[AshillaBeige]

I totally disagree with you theologically, but thanks for calling on someone who's being rather condescending. Referring to we non-believers as "the darkness" and Christians as "the light". We're not evil. We're just evidence driven (generally); "just believe" doesn't work for us; that could be applied to any god. But that's beside the point, it's nice to see a dialogue happening.

If Christians care about us, why don't they spend time helping? Don't they believe we're going to burn forever???
