Wow - what happened today at Berea? Looks like a nice sunny day, at least.

[Fireball1013]

@marialouisa108 The two men who chose to stand at the intersection of Main and Chestnut were advocating the message of Christ. Many were upset at the rhetoric used which was, at times, antagonizing and provocative. The students were not upset about the message, simply the charge that most of us were going to hell. While not outlined well in this video, both sides were at fault to an extent.

See now that title makes sense. That Jesus guy was like a Ron Paul guy at an Obama rally or an Obama guy at a Ron Paul rally! Ron Paul 2012 by the way!

[Fireball1013]

@YaHuWaHservant I support his right to say whatever he likes. The second jesus advocate actually supports Ron Paul. I think people should be allowed to say controversial things. I was surprised the crowd grew to the level that it did.

[YaHuWaHservant]

@Fireball1013 We as human beings have always taken what other people have said offensively. We then seek to change, most of the time by force, the very nature and belief structure others have accepted. This has lead us to a seemingly constant lifestyle of hatred, segregation, etc in our various societies. The sooner we start to mind our business on things, and simply ignore opinions we may disagree with that do not directly affect our life/liberty/property, the sooner we will grow as people. IMO

[Fireball1013]

@YaHuWaHservant I'm with you. I did not personally agree with the decision to have a dance party, as I feel this reflects negatively on the true nature of the community here.

A disciple would seek to win them to Christ first and let His love work within their heart.

People are naturally defensive and by attacking their faults one turns them away from the main message of salvation to the sinners.

Jesus didn't condemned anyone, even homosexuals. He told us the sinner on his face was righteous over the religious man because of his humility.

The example of Christ is why they listened to Him. He didn't use controversy to rile the crowds.

@YaHuWaHservant

I tell you right now, you're making judgments---are you being hypocritical? You're making opinions up about us, the difference is we admit our judgments and we pray and seek they're done righteously in Christ(John 7:24) according to His words. The law can be used lawfully, to show one his/her state under it and their need for Christ.

The woman in adultery, the law calls for both man/woman--only woman was brought, and she was repentant--God gives grace to humble. So do we.

[droptozro]

@YaHuWaHservant

Jesus spoke about judgment quite often, do you actually know the Scriptures--I ask you again? He was always against hypocritical judgement, and so are we--but most people think they're on the path to heaven, and they need awakened unto righteousness. They need told their sins, the wage is death, just like the prophets did in the OT(Isa 58:1)--Jesus condemned entire cities for not repenting(Luke 10:13).

No, there's a difference--stop imposing your views on the literal text.

[droptozro]

@YaHuWaHservant

Thanks! Glad you quoted the entire thing... so what does it say, the same judgement you use will be used against you. So if I'm out getting drunk, I cannot tell another to stop getting drunk--it'd be hypocritical.  And if I've truly repented(taken the log out) then I can now judge and tell another to stop getting drunk!(take their speck out). A bigot is a subjective term, is truth divisive? do you think Christ would not have been called a bigot?

[YaHuWaHservant]

@droptozro Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye." Matthew 7:2-5 I know that you saw all that I was able to see so neither of us know whether he was preaching or being a bigot. However, there is a distinction between preaching the word to the masses and using it to lay judgement against them. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Whether it be a literal stone or a stone of judgment.

[YaHuWaHservant]

@droptozro "For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? cont

[droptozro]

@YaHuWaHservant

You name yourself after God, yet you do not know the Scriptures and you think you're teaching others? Those were real stones friend, go read the Scriptures--not words of warning. Don't be deceived.

The true prophets Jesus said were hated, I suggest you go read His "sermon" in Matthew 5-7... the false prophets are loved by the crowds.(Luke 6:26)

Preaching is commanded, and if you're not obeying then you're scattering--(Matt 12:30) Paul debated also(Acts 17:17), so do we.

[droptozro]

@msumonica

"Christ did not use hate-filled speech to target people"... I really don't think you have a clue what you're talking about. Jesus was crucified on a cross and hated by the world... why? Read John 3:16-21 again, why do they hate Him? Because He testifies their works were evil, so do we you as His followers(John 15:19).

"free from sin.. against Scripture & against Christ's teachings" you really are ignorant. Go read John 8:31-36

lol... Matt 7, false prophets? What bad fruit? show

[droptozro]

@msumonica

"you don't do it by antagonizing them and condemning them to hell"--John 3:16-21.. says they're already condemned, we're just revealing the truth. They can repent and believe though.

"...false prophet" What Scripture says that? Actually the true prophets were hated in Scripture, and the false were loved by crowds(Luke 6:26, Matt 5:12).

This is out of love, do you know anything Jesus said? They didn't spend their time and money to drive that way for fun. define "love" also.

[msumonica]

@droptozro sounds like they should probably go back to their day jobs then. If you want to reach people and bring them to Christ, you don't do it by antagonizing them and condemning them to hell. Any man who has the audacity to assume that kind of authority over another person behaves as a false prophet. God is perfectly capable of making his own judgments without the intervention of these men. If they were genuine about bringing people to Christ, they would have acted out of love like Jesus did
