Honestly, I’m still confused as to what “evengelizing” is, but I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt…

Four Corners Community Church exists to win people to Jesus Christ and bring them to his eternal family through membership, tosee them grow to Christ-like maturity, and equip them to effectively fulfill the mission of evengelizing the world and ministry to the Church to use whatever means necessary to fulfill his mandate for us in order to magnify his name.

This is a direct copy and paste from Chris P’s church website.

Despite the fact that it is very purpose driven and clearly advocating contextualization of the Gospel to fulfill the great commission, it also stands in contrast to the words he always writes here.

Chris P is the text book example of a double minded person. I used to think he was only a hypocrite. No doubt he still is, but it is clear he’s also deeply confused about what he believes.

Maybe he’s taking on a persona while on the internet and just playing cyber-dress up…

who knows?

chris,
What an odd thing that for some people (like Chris P) to have “former friends” is worn like a badge of honor.

I once had some former friends

The double negative not withstanding I certainly have no doubts after that rant why you have “former” friends.

and I could care less if you accept or not

Wow, Chris P. Thank you for offering such a stark contrast between yourself and both Jesus and Paul who wept over those who rejected the gospel.

Jesus said: They will know you by your love.

Sorry, what’s wrong with being friends with a Muslim?

My purpose in writing or speaking here is usually not to engage in “conversation”, it is to proclaim truth, and I could care less if you accept or not.

Sooooo…. if you ever end up wrong (unknowingly, most likely, it happens to all of us) and you don’t care if other people accept or reject it…. then how would you ever know if you’re wrong?

In my hermeneutics class today, we covered Proverbs 26:6-12 as an example for interpreting Proverbs. The message was resounding loud to me once I got it, and I’m the new guy (junior in undergraduate work). I wonder if I’ll still hear it when I get older.

Proverbs 26:6-12
———————-
6He cuts off his own feet and drinks violence
Who sends a message by the hand of a fool.
7 Like the legs which are useless to the lame,
So is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
8 Like one who binds a stone in a sling,
So is he who gives honor to a fool.
9 Like a thorn which falls into the hand of a drunkard,
So is a proverb in the mouth of fools.
10 Like an archer who wounds everyone,
So is he who hires a fool or who hires those who pass by.
11 Like a dog that returns to its vomit
Is a fool who repeats his folly.
12 Do you see a man wise in his own eyes?
There is more hope for a fool than for him.

Chris P, can you please explain to me which of the 297 words in your longer comment have any relevance whatsoever to this post?

Or would that constitute a conversation?
