The True Way of the Master

How are we really supposed to win people to Christ? Here are the verses referenced...

John 13:15 I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.

1 Corinthians 11:1 Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.

2 Corinthians 12:10 Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.

Matthew 5:44-48
44 "But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
46 "For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
47 "If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?
48 "Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Phillipians 2:15 so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world,

1 Timothy 6
4 he is conceited and understands nothing; but he has a morbid interest in controversial questions and disputes about words, out of which arise envy, strife, abusive language, evil suspicions,
5 and constant friction between men of depraved mind and deprived of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain.

Matthew 15:14 "Let them alone; they are blind guides of the blind And if a blind man guides a blind man, both will fall into a pit."

John 8:47"He who is of God hears the words of God; for this reason you do not hear them, because you are not of God."

Ephesians 4:29 Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear.

Matthew 10:14 "Whoever does not receive you, nor heed your words, as you go out of that house or that city, shake the dust off your feet.

Mark 6:11"Any place that does not receive you or listen to you, as you go out from there, shake the dust off the soles of your feet for a testimony against them."

Luke 9:5"And as for those who do not receive you, as you go out from that city, shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them."

Acts 13:51 But they shook off the dust of their feet in protest against them and went to Iconium.

1 Thessalonians 4:11 and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life and attend to your own business and work with your hands, just as we commanded you,

Matthew 10:16 "Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves.

Matthew 23
8 "But do not be called Rabbi; for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers.9 "Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. 10 "Do not be called leaders; for One is your Leader, that is, Christ. 11 "But the greatest among you shall be your servant. 12"Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.

You really don't get it.....Your religion is not the first, nor correct, nor unique, nor true religion...none are. When you prove your religion is 100% fact with real evidence without using your bible to justify anything as it also has not been proven and contradicts itself between each book and gospel. I thought being ""saved" was supposed to make one happy? But you guys are not happy unless everyone else believe that shit too? Something's wrong there.

@Alhambrattp lol. sorry - I have no other way to respond. You're singing the same ole song...

@christoferL

You are too that's the sad fact, just ignoring valid points to suit your own delusion. Im not sure whats funny becasue you have just lumped yourself into the sadding number of people that are as gullable and easily led as people were 2000 years ago.

[christoferL]

@Alhambrattp I have never - ever - heard a valid point against God. I have heard arguments against scriptures - religion - people who claimed Christ - but not once has anyone said or written anything that made me question Him. Let me ask you - How exactly do you think Christians are being led? Where do you think we are being led to - and to do what?

[aubergine2c]

Please dont try to win me to your Christ. My soul/spirit belongs to me; it is not a door prize for evangelicals. I have my own religion, Asatru. Let's make a deal: I wont preach to you about the Aesir and Vanir and you shant tell me about your religion. Let people believe as they wish. We all share this planet and let's live in freedom and respect.

[christoferL]

@aubergine2c Dude - how about this - preach whatever you want on your own videos (thats the point of our own personal channels) and I won't watch - and as a consideration to my rights to say what ever I please in a video... you should avoid watching my videos! Lets live in freedom indeed!

@aubergine2c

Your welcome and well said :)

[aubergine2c]

@ ChristoferL BTW, I'm female. And I would rather live in both freedom and respect. Freedom without respect = chaos.

[aubergine2c]

@Alhambrattp Thank you. I dont understand why some evangelical Christians think that we haven't heard their message. It's the same old basic disrespect. They dont see it that way. I've become mellow in my middle age; when I was a teen/twenty-something, missionaries would annoy me greatly. Now, I feel pity for them. The lack of empathy and respect is amazing!

@christoferL

You just answered your own question. You have never - ever- listened to a valid point against "god" Im sure with your bigot videos you have heard many.

@aubergine2c

Well said.
