Because when presented with it, I would choose a slightbit of each. Our God, as seen in the Bible, is multi-faceted, so to describe Him with one word would of course cause descrepency and dispute. But yes, I do believe that we should spread His truth and the number one way to do that is through our actions. If, through our actions, we distinguish ourselves from others, then people will wonder what we have that they don't. Lecturing turns people away. Seeing a gift that is with in reach is a whole different story... I believe that the God question is slightly difficult. Because when presented with it, I would choose a slightbit of each.

I don't think I could agree any more. It's sad to look around and watch people blinded by Satan and not know who the real God is. Because the God that I know is the one that will be able to fill that hole in there heart and bring them from darkness into the light. And unless they realize that the real God is not who they think, they won't be able to have that amazing relationship with Him. May God bless you both in your ministry. I love the post.

But there are many times when you cannot speak out and the only way to witness is through words and deeds. The problem with that is that it is over a long period of time and meanwhie it can get a bit discouraging. Also, what if you're not around many unbelievers except ones who refuse to listen or notice? Perhaps, then the only was to help is through prayer. I too am looking forward to this series. Thanks for doing this. I understand it is very important to witness.

It reminded me of Romans 10:2-3, 14-15: <blockquote><i>For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God. How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!”</i></blockquote> Thanx for bringing this to our attention! It reminded me of Romans 10:2-3, 14-15:

For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God.

How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!”

Alex and Brett, did you guys have an article in there or where you talked about in there? Because I keep reading comments about it on here and on the forum.

I've been devouring the rebelution, as well as other bloggs. It's so nice to know that others exist and care to the extent that I do. I will be emailing you and Brett soon becuase I have some comments. But I couldn't help but comment on this now. Everyone, or close to everyone believes in "God". I played basketball for a public high school...all of the girls go to church. None of them know Jesus. The biggest key to knowing God, is Jesus. So many millions of people create a god that they want. They don't like all of the Bible...so they take half of the Bible. But the key thing to if they really know God, is if they know Jesus. My classical piano Doctor is "at perfect peace with herself" becuase she knows God. The god she serves is herself. The awesome thing about the Truth is that it stands so brightly compared to all of those people who claim they know God. In some ways it's easier debating with my sister who is an Egnostic. Keep searching, keep studying. All of us are bonded together by the one thing that sets us apart...Jesus. May His name be praised! Jesus wept... John 11:35 So must we weep over the blindness that these people are in. The one way that they will know us apart is by the love of Jesus in us. Only a reborn heart, full of love can pierce through the darkness that surrounds these people. Sorry...didn't mean to get too dramatic! You'll be hearing from me again! C Alex,

Jesus wept…
John 11:35

So must we weep over the blindness that these people are in. The one way that they will know us apart is by the love of Jesus in us. Only a reborn heart, full of love can pierce through the darkness that surrounds these people.

Sorry…didn’t mean to get too dramatic!

[quote]For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. Romans 1:20 (NIV)[/quote] That pretty much explains it all. Why can't we see God? Because he is invisible. God can't take away my sin because it is too great! Nonsence what about His Eternal Power and Divine Nature?. However I think that many people lie to them selves that there is no God because it makes them feel better. I mean if there is no God then there is no right or wrong, then the fact that they just "obtained" a new stereo isn't wrong. Some people take this lying to the extent that they cannot even speak the truth that there is a God. and other people only believe that there is a God because their parents and grandparents believe so. well i will stop now before i take up all of the comment space :D Joshua I have to agree with Damien everyone must know that there is a God. just take a look around you and explain how this could all come about by chance.

I really respect the distinctively biblical perspective you exhibit on this site. It's a breath of fresh air and all too rare. It's frightening and wonderful to encounter the message from the Book. Thank you for taking the time and care to get that message across. First of all, we don’t have to ask people if they believe in God to know that they do (according to Romans, chapter one).
