[QUOTE="welshman, post: 58679058, member: 216998"] I have nothing but respect for your views on this...:thumbsup: What I would say is that while social injuctice, oppression, taking care of the needy are indeed noble causes; the fact is that the government and the country as a whole are stripping away our rights as Christians to get to the heart of the matter...being able to proclaim the gospel. You see, it doesn't matter how many walls we paint or flip-flops that we hand out to clubbers on the streets...nothing will get solved, fixed or mended in "broken Britain" until people turn to Christ. It is this very thing that is being stopped. Street Pastors have become very popular lately in the UK, and I myself have taken part (well...gone to see how they are run with a friend of mine who helps out)...while the cause is noble: handing out flip-flops, water etc...none of that will make a difference because they are stopped from telling people about needing to be "saved" as the schemes are being funded by local councils...and they don't like the phrase "I am THE way, THE truth..." Those taking part are not allowed to talk about "heaven and hell" because it is "too divisive". Another project "Sporting Marvels" operates in schools near me, and I was asked to join the team by a friend of mine. They do a lot of hard work teaching kids respect, discipline etc but they do not preach the gospel. So, in my mind all these projects (as noble as they are) are just papering over the cracks because those taking part cannot preach that Christ is the only way to heaven...which to my mind is THE only way this country will fix injustice, oppression, poverty etc.:preach: Not sure if all of that makes sense? Anyway...as far as I am aware, it is illegal now for people to say that Christ is "the way, the truth...etc" now under EU law. At least, that is what I have been told. It's not enforced to my knowledge...but I am 99% sure that this is the case. Scary stuff. [/QUOTE]
