Preaching the Gospel at My Reception

rudybork diyorki:

Jul 28, 2008 - I was just stating before-- put yourself in the guests place. You're at a good friend's wedding, and at the reception, the groom starts to talk about Scientology for a half hour... you wouldn't like it either. But since he is your friend, you are obligated to sit there while someone pushes their religion on you.

No evolutionist would tell you they have conclusive evidence for evolution. They don't. Evolution IS religion, my friend, whether you agree with it or not. What they taught 30 years ago regarding evolution is DIFFERENT from what is taught today. And yes, they force this teaching in schools today, one of the many reasons I will homeschool my child.

grasshopperjax diyorki:

Jul 28, 2008 - You are not forced to stay. No one is FORCED to stay at a wedding. Anyone can leave at anytime, and the door was open to many of them in that room- and you probably didn't hear the faint "halelujahs" in that room as I was preaching. There were few who got it, and some who came up to me and told me the message helped them. So really, Rudybork, what you're saying is a bag of baloney.

rudybork diyorki:

Jul 29, 2008 - Yes, all evidence points to evolution, and I think every evolutionist would tell you that. Evolution is a theory. Not sure if you know what a theory is in the scientific world, but it is a belief with evidence backing it up. Gravity is only a theory-- care to jump off your house and test that belief? By the way, any evidence for creationism, besides the bible?

Jul 29, 2008 - To preach at your own wedding, son, I must say that you are on fire!

Jul 29, 2008 - actually if interested you should check out creationist scientists. There is no evidence to support evolution. I repeat there is no evidence. The most important thing that is missing is the transition species - there are none. All the supposed links they thought they found were in fact either ape or human. There are soooo many holes in evolution but the fact is that many people don't know about them because it was taught to them as if it were not a theory but a fact.

Iamfreeryou diyorki:

Jul 29, 2008 - but that isn't the point at all. The point seems to be that you are an atheist. I once was an atheist - it wasn't that I didn't believe in GOD it was more that I wanted to live a life of sin and the only way I could justify it was to convince myself that GOD wasn't real. The devil has done a lot of things to deceive the minds of people. To many he has convinced them that he doesn't exist and they like this lie.

Iamfreeryou diyorki:

Jul 29, 2008 - I liked the lie too. And I won't give you proof of creation for if I did that would not change anything about you. Instead what I am going to do is pray for you and I ask all those who read this to pray. I do this not to win some argument but I do this because I love you.

Iamfreeryou diyorki:

Jul 29, 2008 - I have never met you - so you may wonder how it is possible that I could love you. It is because GOD is within me and I do not desire any souls to be lost. I rest not in my ability to argue and convince others - but I rest in the power of GOD almighty. You may reply to this message with whatever you have to say but I won't come back and argue against your statements. I love you. May GOD be glorified by what starts here today.

rudybork diyorki:

Jul 29, 2008 - Creationist scientist? Oxymoron. Again, in science, you don't start with your conclusion and try to find evidence to support that. But getting off subject. Don't know why I'm getting all the hate on this video-- all I'm saying is preach to those who want to be preached at, not to those who are trying to be polite and just came for a wedding. If I started preaching atheism at my wedding, I'm sure a lot of my friends would be very uncomfortable with that.

Aug 11, 2008 - Congratulations for having the guts to do this. The young waiter to your left and a girl were listening very intently to your message. Perhaps only they were supposed to hear the Gospel that day. Also amazing that people patiently and politely sat and listened for over 20mins.

XSC3 diyorki:

Aug 11, 2008 - Sad to hear about your friend, but let's face reality for a second... the Catholic Church (along with Orthodoxy) is original Christianity. You wouldn't even have a Bible without it, so don't be dissin'. ;)

grasshopperjax diyorki:

Aug 11, 2008 - Please do not start this "Catholic Church gave us the Bible" myth. The Bible was canonized BEFORE Constantine created the Catholic Church by the 4th century. There already was a complete OLD TESTAMENT when Christ was on earth. And the Orthodox church would take issue with you anyway regarding who came first. Talk to an Orthodox and they'll tell you the Catholic Church apostasized from them.

grasshopperjax diyorki:

Aug 11, 2008 - Thank you, brother James. I feed off the zeal of men like yourself and Brother Steve of Faithful Word Baptist Church, men who have their hearts on fire for God's Word being preached.

XSC3 diyorki:

Aug 11, 2008 - Haha, sorry, but Constantine had nothing to do with the foundation of the Catholic church. It was going by that name hundreds of years before Constantine was even born, much less Emperor. The Old Testament canon wasn't "decided upon" by the Jews until around the year 90. Remember how Martin Luther threw out the Apocrypha? He was going by what the Rabbis did (and probably Jerome's objections in the 4th century). Several of the apostolic letters & Revelation were still disputed after Constantine.

XSC3 diyorki:

Aug 11, 2008 - It doesn't matter what an Orthodox Christian would think, because the schism didn't occur until AD 1054. Prior to that there was ONE CHURCH (and no Protestants or non-denominational "bible Christians" or fundamentalists to be found). The Baptists came along after the 16th century... The Catholic church settled the canon, preserved and even translated the bible for you. You're welcome... But I welcome a civil debate over private message over these issues of history if you would like.

XSC3 diyorki:

Aug 11, 2008 - Also, officially Catholics and Orthodox recognize each other as Christians, with a common heritage from the Apostles. They regard one another thus not as heretics or apostates, but separated brethren. Sure, you might have some individual bigoted members of either church who would call each other "apostate" but those are extreme. I wouldn't judge the Church based on the opinions of some uninformed and prejudiced individuals.

grasshopperjax diyorki:

Aug 11, 2008 - xsc3, this is not a forum for your revisionist history. Yeah, we can discuss the TRUTH behind the Catholic and its false history if you like, but I am not interested if you're trying to "convert me' to the Mother Whore. Facts are facts, my friend, and there were Bible believers ALONGSIDE the Catholic Church BEFORE the Reformation. That is a historical fact you CANNOT deny, nor can you deny the fact that the Bible was translated OUTSIDE the Catholic Church LONG BEFORE the reformation.

plwk diyorki:

Aug 12, 2008 - Apparently, some Christians cant even kneel at the same altar and pray but spent hours with fired bellies and end up debating wat ancient men have or have not done or shld have. Is this wat the Great Commission abt? Since the time i was in Church til i left, the same tiresome ego battles rages while the world wonders abt Christ's Love. No wonder Gandhi could only recognise Christ but not the followers. The day when u guys stop disparaging each other is the day Christ is recognised.

Aug 13, 2008 - I've seen some of your videos refuting Calvinism, in which you bring up many good arguments, BUT there are (as here) inconsistencies - I'm speaking of your espousal of "Once Saved always Saved". I'm not a Calvinist, but if 1 of 5 points are false, they all are, and they are interdependent. Also on Calvinist series you reference Irenaeus on Free-Will. I appreciate, but Irenaeus also espoused Infant Baptism. I believe therefore that apostolic history does not support (all) of your tenets.

grasshopperjax diyorki:

Aug 14, 2008 - Calvinists don't believe in eternal security, they believe in perserverance of the saits, which i like to refer to as CONDITIONAL eternal security. They don't believe in osas, they simply believe if you have no fruit, you were NEVER saved. "but Irenaeus also espoused Infant Baptism." No he didn't. Quotes attributed to him as endorsing infant baptism were proven false. Ch. 22, para.4 of Against HEresies Book 2 is used as proof text, but it doesn't even mention baptism, so it's false.

wuebbsco diyorki:

Sep 1, 2008 - Grasshopper, congrats to you sir. I applaud you for letting God use you to share the Gospel at your reception! That was awesome. Though I did want to comment on your comment that Calvinists do not believe in eternal security. You say they believe in Perseverance of the saints. Sir, that is like saying I am not a Rebublican, I am "red"! It means the same thing Grasshopper. Calvinists Do believe in eternal security becuase it is God who keeps us secure! Eph 1:13-14, John 6:38-40. God bless.

Sep 16, 2008 - Give praise to the Holy One! May the Lord bless you for doing this. Actually,I know he already is. The Lord is so Good and Merciful and it is SO reassuring to know that we are not saved by good works but instead by THE GRACE AND GLORY OF THE LORD! AMEN, this really touched me

grasshopperjax diyorki:

Sep 16, 2008 - God bless you.

Sep 19, 2008 - Praise God! That was so awesome! Who knows what other time some of them will ever hear the gospel? Now they have that seed in their hearts and it is up to them...
