Profanity in Evangelism...

[Starcrystal]

I will not repeat what I say of course, but I am up against a ton of atheists and pagans....
These are hard core unbelievers... until I strike with the sword of the spirit, and i wield it with much practice....
Thing is, I curse and blaspheme and make ridicule of God, until get enough attention.
I get totally wild and sent Black Sabbath Youtube links, always with songs that uplift Christ or show the devil to be a liar.
We curse and swear back and forth... but after weeks or moths they begin to believe....
I go off the charts with curse words and blasphemy, but this is a psyops (psychological warfare) because I include the words God and Jesus so many times,they do become real to the atheists, Goths, and Satanists.....
I have known some to have actually finally confessed Christ as Lord, others who are well on their way.
Am I wrong?
Don't try to change me anyways... Paul "I become all things to all men that I might win some..."

I won't tell you that you are wrong. You will have to determine that for yourself. It's between you and God IMO. As for me, I would never do such and that's me!

I could not justify my using the devil's tactics to entice people into believeing in Christ. IMO this is not what the Apostle ment, but, again that's my opinion and how I feel.

Salvation is a personal relationship between a person and God. Who knows the heart of another? Who knows the mind of God? Still, for me it would be really, really wrong and not Biblical.......have no desire to change you. Changing hearts is the duty of the Holy Spirit, the Living Word of God and the Written Word of God, not mine......

Hi SC,

You support your profanity by quoting Paul: "I become all things to all men that I might win some..."

Maybe I'm wrong, but I can't imagine that Paul meant we were to just throw ourselves into and a part of every situation that the lost participate in. After all, Paul is also the one who instucts us: But if our unrighteousness brings out God's righteousness more clearly,http://www.christianforums.com/#cr-descriptionAnchor-8 what shall we say? That God is unjust in bringing his wrath on us? (I am using a human argument.)http://www.christianforums.com/#cr-descriptionAnchor-9 Certainly not! If that were so, how could God judge the world?http://www.christianforums.com/#cr-descriptionAnchor-10 Someone might argue, "If my falsehood enhances God's truthfulness and so increases his glory,http://www.christianforums.com/#cr-descriptionAnchor-11 why am I still condemned as a sinner?"http://www.christianforums.com/#cr-descriptionAnchor-12 Why not say--as we are being slanderously reported as saying and as some claim that we say--"Let us do evil that good may result"?http://www.christianforums.com/#cr-descriptionAnchor-13 Their condemnation is deserved.

and again: Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways;http://www.christianforums.com/#cr-descriptionAnchor-3 we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God.http://www.christianforums.com/#cr-descriptionAnchor-4 On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to every man's consciencehttp://www.christianforums.com/#cr-descriptionAnchor-5 in the sight of God.

and finally:
We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise.

I say confidently that Paul would never have attended and participated in an orgy of Roman lust and degredation, blaspheming and cursing the Lord, as a means of spreading the gospel. I also am an evangelist and have shared the gospel in many similar places as you have, but never having degraded myself in order to do that which the Lord has asked me to do. You will not find agreement with me in your methods. I'm confident that you will neither find agreement with anyone who wrote to us in the Scriptures for your methods. Jesus sat and ate and shared with tax collectors and sinners, but I'm confident that he would not have become like them in order to bring about a harvest.

As to your harvest, is it producing a crop of good fruit or bad fruit? Are the people who you claim to be bringing into the kingdom really born again? Or are they rather those who look at you and say, "Oh way cool man, I can be like you. Sure I can believe in the god you're showing us. A god who allows me to do anything I want and allows me to continue in the way that I am living now. Sure, sign me up!"

God bless you.
In Christ, Ted

Please read Matthew 15:1-20. Although Jesus is discussing Talmudic law, he is addressing the hearts of the Pharisees and all people. It is the heart that Jesus speaks to and the heart from which people yearn and speak to Jesus and the Father. Perhaps what you need to do is learn to accept what has convicted your heart and consider too, Jesus words as found in Matthew 12:24-28, "But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, 'It is only by Beelzebub, the prince of demons, that this fellow drives out demons.' Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, 'Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand. If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand? And if I drive out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your people drive them out? So then, they will be your judges. But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.' " (NIV)

you need to "relate"... but do not have to get down in the gutter with them...
some times the truth, softly spoken.... some times a blunt question....will convict

arguements don't work, just offend.... rebuke the spirit of evil, speak the truth of Jesus, invoke the power of the name and the blood, speak of love, mercy, grace, restoration.... the dinner bell to the lost
