Your preaching cannot save anyone but it is God that saves. So all we do is to preach it and let God save it. But the issue is this, let them hear the true gospel. If the true word is not preached, then what will save them? Pick up your New Testament and preach it. Then all your fears will be gone. Because you care so much for people that's why you are bothered and it's a good thing. It is called compassion. If you keep up that compassion you will go greater works than Jesus bcos almost every miracle He did, they were done out of compassion. Keep up the spirit. And if you are not yet born of God, don't worry God will visit you very very soon. Stay blest.it is people like you that will carry the true gospel of Christ with their life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've both done open air preaching, and were so blessed by it, hopefully we will get the chance to do more again soon! To clarify, I'm not afraid of the world, but I do fear for them, and that's why I want to share the gospel with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know God is awesome, so I rejoice in the strength of my Father. I am proud of my Father, so why should I fear Him? That word fearing God is a mixed up of tradition from the Old Testament. Why, bcos God was dealing with man in a fallen state. But we have the spirit of God living in us. Why fear or fall sick? God never changes, but how we see Him is the problem. I will always fall before His majesty, it's not in fear but in respect, honor, submission, knowing that all I am and will ever be comes from Him. Sin is not a problem anymore, bcos I carry the spirit of God in my inside. The dead cannot sin, so I am a dead person it is not I that live but Christ that liveth in me. What can sin do to a dead man? When sin comes, Christ is me does not battle but simply moves my dead body away from sin. Bcos we have held a very wrong perception about God that is why we are not getting what we want. that is why we are not getting what we want. Please elaborate on this statement? and you have not answered my first question yet? (post #14) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to say "a joke" or "fake", but that Christianity really did start as a way to control the people and it took off on its own. But then again, there is so much historical and archeological evidence that events and people of the Bible existed. That's what I fear ... that when we die .. there really isn't a God or heaven. And I hate that fear so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
