It is strange that this thread won't get any amen from anyone.
Evangelism is the center of Christianity.
Jesus commanded His followers to spread to the world.
And main theme of evangelism is to teach all nations to observe all He commanded His followers.
Jesus' evangelism has been disregarded by most churches.
It is so sad.
Everyone:
Jesus commands or teachings are in the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
If we strive to honor and observe all Jesus' commands or teachings, we don't have to worry about whether we will be saved or not.
God is merciful that He will take good care of all His sincere followers.
God is seeking into our sincere and pure heart to honor Him.
Jesus teachings are not popular because He teaches us unselfish love, which sacrificial love.
Jesus was faithful to His Father unto death. And He commands His followers to do the same.
Faithfulness will not accomplish if we are not willing to change our ways.
It is narrow gate but only people who are willing to follow His way will inherit God's kingdom.
Who wants to follow Jesus' way?
He is inviting everyone to God's kingdom.
God's kingdom is nothing like this world where there is war, hatred, disease and all kinds of unloving things abound.
A summary of this thread, according to Mess-hak:
The Lord Jesus Christ, whom she, in disrespect, addresses as "Jesus, died for nothing, died in vain.
I challenge anyone to ask her the purpose of the dbr, and what happened 2000+ years ago, and why.
Matthew 28:18-20King James Version (KJV)
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Jesus is the center of Christianity, so we ought to take heed of what Jesus says.
I urge everyone to focus on Jesus' word.
If Jesus was for the whole world, why did he forbid his disciples to take the gospel of salvation to the Gentiles? If you are right about him, don't you think he was contradicting himself?
Amen!We can find all kinds of scripture to justify against Jesus' simple evangelism, if we don't like to follow Jesus.
I urge everyone to focus on Jesus' word. Then you get to know heart of evangelism and true Christianity.
