True Evangelism is GOD Centered, NOT Man Centered.

"...It is GOD who works in YOU both to will and to do of HIS good pleasure."

-Paul the Apostle
(Php 2:13)


Note that Paul doesn't say "For it is YOU who works in GOD both to will and to do of YOUR good pleasure."


Now, what does the entire sentence say?

"Wherefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed me, not in my presence only, but not much more in my absense, so MAKE AN END OF YOUR OWN SALVATION WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING. For it is GOD who works in YOU both to will and to do of HIS good pleasure."

- Paul the Apostle
(Php 2:12-13)

Congratulations for confusing the &$@! out of me.

[LaneCh]

What do you have questions about specifically? Maybe I can help clear things up.

[sinlaael]

You will never clear things up. Don't even try.

[LaneCh]

I sincerely hope you do not accuse others of intellectual dishonesty. That would be a great irony, indeed.

[sinlaael]

Argh. Ya got me. I'm dead.

[LaneCh]

...and, yet again, the unbeliever's reason for their assertion is basically "because I said so." How ignorant.

[Studier101]

This reminds me of a preacher who said before an audience, "Winning souls is not our first priority" and then he waited for the gasping to subside and said, "Obeying God is." (He was speaking on compromises in evangelism.)

Amen God be glorified! Praise Jesus The Savor of our Souls

To love God is to hate sin

[nunfonseca]

Will what is molded say to its molder, Why have you made me like this? Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for DISHONORABLE use? What if God, desiring to show his WRATH and to make known his power, has endured with much patience vessels of wrath PREPARED FOR DESTRUCTION, in order to make known the riches of his GLORY for vessels of mercy, which he has prepared BEFOREHAND for glory? - Rm 9:20-23

[Christ4thenations]

People going to Hell does not glorify God. This is madness. Time and time again, when Jesus takes people to show them Hell, He is filled with sorrow about the damned souls. Gospel is God and then men centered. Because God so loved the world... We are to love the world with God's love. First commandment is to love God, second is to love men, perishing souls. God himself centered the Gospel on men in order to save them. You sound like a nazi Germany preacher.

[CmRoddy]

So are you denying the Trinity?

[superior9ether]

God is oneness, people like evangelist should be put away it's like the blind leading the blind.

[simone56]

It all comes back to "you" I mean GOD :)
