There you go......the rest of it is between that person and the Holy Spirit.....not you.To love my neighbors, and to spread the Gospel.
Yeah, same here, but it just reminds me of End Times stuff, where people turn away from Christ.Yeah, I doubt hearing a single prayer as an aside at a political convention is going to cause somebody to convert.
True, but it is up to us to try and spread our faith, and tell others the Good News.There you go......the rest of it is between that person and the Holy Spirit.....not you.
And that is all....it is not to 'convert' anyone. That job description belongs to God.....not us......True, but it is up to us to try and spread our faith, and tell others the Good News.
Bro... Remember what Matthew 28 and Mark 16 said?And that is all....it is not to 'convert' anyone. That job description belongs to God.....not us......
Why is religion (of any sort) “allowed” to be part of a political party‘s ethos?
That's a better question.Why are Christian prayers at a Party’s National Convention “okay”, but prayers to other deities frowned upon?
Like when things don't go your way tou take the ball away and go home?This is a good a reminder to Christians to be less invested in an America which doesn't reflect them or their values.
Disciple:Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,
I have no doubt that there are a number of atheists in that crowd.....unless you think atheists can only be liberals?Why is religion (of any sort) “allowed” to be part of a political party‘s ethos?

No doubt, but that has nothing to do with either of Pommer's questions.I have no doubt that there are a number of atheists in that crowd.....
They don't have to be there if they don't like it. I have no doubt that there is a program printed beforehand that describes what occurs and when it occurs.....maybe even a very short description of what is to occur. If someone objects to something, they don't have to be there.No doubt, but that has nothing to do with either of Pommer's questions.
Yes, so we can spread the knowledge of Christianity to others, hoping that others may convert on their own volition.Disciple:
1 : one who accepts and assists in spreading the doctrines of another: such as Christianity :one of the twelve in the inner circle of Christ's followers according to the Gospel accounts
Definition of DISCIPLE
Nothing about converting anyone; only about spreading information/knowledge.......
The rest of that sentence and the next is covered.......
With the help and guidance of the Holy Spirit not simply on their 'own volition'......and don't think that means that other Christians simply turn their backs as if to say 'You are on your own'. We are all responsible to help those in search of God. And if you are in someplace where they don't do that....you are in the wrong place.Yes, so we can spread the knowledge of Christianity to others, hoping that others may convert on their own volition.
Or rather you recognize the political reality and act accordingly. Christians don't intrinsically owe America their devotion, only a baseline political loyalty that is purely practical.Like when things don't go your way tou take the ball away and go home?
It is a combination of the two. We must be in the proper state of mind to accept Jesus.With the help and guidance of the Holy Spirit not simply on their 'own volition'......and don't think that means that other Christians simply turn their backs as if to say 'You are on your own'. We are all responsible to help those in search of God. And if you are in someplace where they don't do that....you are in the wrong place.
So what is, IYO, the proper state of mind?We must be in the proper state of mind to accept Jesus.
I will get back to you on this, but the best state of mind is one that is open minded, and has heard the forgiveness part of the Gospel instead of the Old Testament stuff which can be a little dark.So what is, IYO, the proper state of mind?
But you do understand that one cannot be understood without the other? The OT explains the NT as the NT explains the OT.and has heard the forgiveness part of the Gospel instead of the Old Testament stuff which can be a little dark.
Hopefully this doesnt mean all the OT law applies.But you do understand that one cannot be understood without the other? The OT explains the NT as the NT explains the OT.
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. KJV
