What Would Jesus Think?

[MikeMcK]

Yes sin IS a mistake

So Jesus died for a mistake? I would think God would be a little more understanding. After all, nobody's perfect.

The mistake can be intentional

A mistake, by definition, is not intentional.

I contend that saying ALL members of God's body ought make evangelism their top priority, even among the top 10, is sin. It is sin because it goes against the explicit instructions of Paul. It is well meant, it is lofty sounding, and it may come from (humanly speaking) a "pure" heart. But it is still sin.

I'm sorry. I don't think I'm understanding you. Are you saying that it is sin to suggest that all Christians should follow Christ's command to present the Gospel to the lost?

Lastly, I made it very clear that no Christian should use the above verses as an EXCUSE not to evangelize the lost. Only that it need not be every Christian's TOP priority. That many Christians are called to exhort, teach, heal, discern, ect ect,

Yet you chose to ignore that and write

I didn't ignore them. You're talking about gifts to believers for the edification of the church.

I'm talking about Christ's commands to share the Gospel with the lost.

There is something wrong in the heart of someone who says they're a Christian, yet does not feel a passion to share the Gospel with the lost.
