From: "Arsene Lupin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes in part: ...Because adding my two cents isn't enough for the lot of you!! Since there is a heavy discussion over me and my "Salvation" and intents, I feel that now I should speak out and plainly concerning the methods used on my fellow heathens and unbelievers. What has annoyed us over the past few decades is certain aspects of evangelism and the OUTRIGHT ARROGANCE of some. My heart does harden, but bare in mind that you have only yourselves to blame on many of your approach. I will take a few examples that have been uttered just on this very mailing list and do pay attention to my own impressions from it. I will ask for you to LISTEN and PAY ATTENTION.
jt: My, my, how things have changed TPW - At first you appeared to be not entirely humble but at least respectful and willing to dialogue because as you've been telling us heathens do not proselytize. But we've progressed from that to taking up an offense over the arrogance of the street evangelists along with a list of complaints and some advice on 'how to do it better'. TPW you need to understand that we spiritually represent two different kingdoms and although you have read some of the Bible you do not understand the "Mystery of godliness" This is why it is called a mystery. God in His foreknowledge hides things also and this mystery is only revealed to those who are willing to walk in it. Also at work in this world is the "Mystery of iniquity" and I daresay you are more familiar with how this works. I say this in love but will not apologise for speaking the truth. The methods of the street evangelists may not be perfect but they are out there with the desire to represent the one they serve. You don't have to worry about being stabbed in the back or shot by any of them (if you're not an abortion doctor which is sad) and they will not harm your family. Also genuine Christians are a minority because we are definitely living in a pagan culture. So what's the beef? If you don't want to get saved, noone is going to force it on you, God won't and neither will his people. To me it is ironic that you think youself qualified to instruct God's people how to do their job.
