Most people hate JESUS and hate the APOSTLES , the messengers of GOD THE CREATOR .... Everywhere they went, then, and since then, the messengers sent by GOD are universally rejected, though accepted by a few who believe and are saved. There's no city on earth known of that welcomes the Apostles or the true teachers of God's Word and Plan and Salvation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people in our world today will not listen. But if they are called to do street preaching then I can respect that. As long as what they are preaching is biblical. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't want to say anything bad or critical about them....if that is what they feel called or led to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and the reason being, is like the disciples, apostles, and those who by example followed them, the spirit of the church is literally taken to the streets. You don't see people glorifying God in those pics, because they're probably not members. Edited June 19, 2019 by BeauJangles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like any street preacher. I was not saved then and hung around folks who mocked them. I laughed along with my friends. In that way, I was a mocker myself. Jokes on me now lol. I look back and wonder, did they do any good? The word was preached. How can that not be good? If only one person was saved, is that not a good thing? They were faithful to the command given by the Lord, to spread the gospel. How is that not good? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, what do you think Jesus and the apostles were doing? In addition to teaching the Gospel in the synagogues, a lot of the evangelism work and performing of miracles were done in public places. While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he was greatly distressed to see that the city was full of idols. So he reasoned in the synagogue with both Jews and God-fearing Greeks, as well as in the marketplace day by day with those who happened to be there. - Act 17:16-17 When Jesus came down from the mountainside, large crowds followed him. A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.” Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy. - Matthew 8:1-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So glad to know hearing the witness of the Word fulfilled the Lord's wonderful purpose for you. God bless those ministers of the streets.
