VTSmitty. The scriptures tell us exactly how to share the Gospel. In Acts 17 Paul gets a chance to speak in front of the Aeropagus. Where all the "brilliant thinkers" gathered in that day. Paul didn't meet them where they were or honor their life experiences and up bringing.
He said, "To the unknown god.’ pWhat therefore you worship qas unknown, this I proclaim to you. 24 rThe God who made the world and everything in it, being sLord of heaven and earth, tdoes not live in temples made by man,3 25 nor is he served by human hands, uas though he needed anything, since he himself vgives to all mankind wlife and breath and everything. 26 And xhe made from one man every nation of mankind to live yon all the face of the earth, zhaving determined allotted periods and athe boundaries of their dwelling place, 27 bthat they should seek God, cand perhaps feel their way toward him and find him. dYet he is actually not far from each one of us, 28 for
e“‘In him we live and move and have our being’;4
as even some of fyour own poets have said,
“‘For we are indeed his offspring.’5
29 Being then God's offspring, hwe ought not to think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination of man. 30 The times of ignorance God overlooked, but know he lcommands all people everywhere to repent, 31 because he has fixed ma day on which nhe will judge the world oin righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and pof this he has given assurance to all qby raising him from the dead.”
32 Now when they heard of rthe resurrection of the dead, ssome mocked. But others said, t“We will hear you again about this.” 33 So Paul went out from their midst. 34 But some men joined him and believed, among whom also were Dionysius uthe Areopagite and a woman named Damaris and others with them."

Like I said LOSNOLEs.
Mich&RedWingFan you and I have already discussed the gospel. We both agree you stand in opposition to Christ. Whether you want man to judge you or not the Bible clearly states God will judge you upon your death. Do not wield scripture because in it it professes that you are, as of now, a vessel of wrath for God. Pray that God would save you. He may well do so.

You believe Christ is the Way, Truth and the Life and there is no other way to be reconciled to God accept through Him? And that a life in Christ is one of self denial, utter change from your sinful past, and service to the will of God?

God is glorified by everything. Namely sin. It is on the pitch black backdrop of human sinful nature that the Light of Christ shines brightest.
God made man for unadulterated fellowship with Himself. Man sinned and the results pain God as evidenced in Genesis 6. However He is glorified and that was the Chief end of creation.

I would say you would be more against the teachings of Jesus than myself .... Do not judge others lest you be judged. Those without sin throw the first stone. Treat others the way you would wish to be treated. Turn the other cheek. The way you treat the least of us is how you treat God.

This is how the first thread went. You started posting these singular scriptures pagans memorize to combat Christians preaching the gospel and despite my readily disproving their stand alone validity you will just lead me down another rabbit hole. Here is my link from earlier, you won't read it.

Did I just imagine you judging and attacking all the other religious posters in this thread?
Edit: I will read your link tomorrow
Double Edit: Even if the link tries to prove a point, I guess it is up to interpretation whether Jesus would agree.

You're just another unbeliever who has about 25 verses memorized that form a certain picture of Christ that fits what you want. You have to take into account the entirety of the Bible which is all about Jesus.
It's like the pagans on news channels saying they think Jesus would accept Gay people because of how he acted towards certain sinners in the Bible.

And equally as quick do people ignore let he without sin throw the first stone and treat others the way the would want to be treated and the story of the good samaritan where how you treat the least of us is how you treat God.
