How do we reach these four categories of "secularists"? 1. The Secular Intellectual - the scholarly type who doubts the Bible is inspired, the existence of God and organized religion. 2) The Secular Hard Hat - the working...

lena2000 My thoughts are:Be real. Be transparent. Be "Christ with skin on". Jesus was what he taught. If Jesus is living in and through us, then He will do the teaching. There's an expression "faith is caught, not taught". Jesus was also highly educated - whether...

lena2000 I understand we can't but the Holy Spirit can convict their hearts. However, we are to witness and share what we know. I don't think we can win them to Christ by trying to out argue them. I'm thinking that we need to be a friend and get a sense of their need....

lena2000 1. The Secular Intellectual - the scholarly type who doubts the Bible is inspired, the existence of God and organized religion. This one can be "a tough nut to crack", but presenting the facts is not impossible. Be prepared to deal with "Mr. Yowbut" and "Mr....

lena2000 Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. Matthew 28:18-20 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth....

lena2000 The WORD of God says that No man comes unless the Holy Spirit draw him. I think you wait and pray until the Holy Spirit tells you to do something, and then follow that. Live your life before then praying for them. You can have all the game plans you...

I'm a firm believer Of Christ but sometimes wonder why certain things don't make since... Like Why aren't dinosaurs or their period of time in the bible? We have proof they existed but they are never mentioned??

lena2000 There are a number of places where it appears that dinosaurs or other similar creatures are mentioned in the scriptures. Remember that the Bible was translated into English long before the word "dinosaur" was coined. However, the word "dragon" appears 21...

lena2000 Certainly we shouldn't expect to see the word 'dinosaurs' in the Bible since the word was only invented in recent history. There are animals/beasts that are described like dinosaurs in Scripture.

lena2000 I've heard that before the flood, reptiles lived for many years and didn't stop growing, which resulted in dinosaurs. I can't back that up...just heard it somewhere, I think History Channel? Some believe that there is a 'Gap', or indeterminable about of...

lena2000 I've heard some strange reasons like, they were just overgrown reptiles because they lived for hundreds of years back then. I don't believe that though. But it's the only explanation anybodys ever given me besides, "I don't know."

How important is it to take the book of Genesis as literal truth? For example, do you have to believe in a 6 day creation and Noah's flood? What are the consequences if you don't?

lena2000 As a Christian, one needs to take the Bible as truth because it's the foundation of our entire faith. However, not all truth in the Bible is literally true, and only context will determine if something is literally true, or if it's metaphoric or figurative, or...

lena2000 I think one must accept the Bible in its totality as the inspired word of God. Or, one must reject the Bible as a work of fiction. However, I don't think that accepting the Bible as God's word means that we totally understand all that is written. There...

Is it necessary for people to like you? Are you a person who yearns for acceptance amongst the masses? Or do you not care? Are you happy having only a few close friends?

lena2000 I'm happy with having a few close friends. I can't stand popularity. (even on the internet!) Too many people to keep track of.

I know the Bible gives a physical description of heaven, but does it talk about what we DO in heaven? What does an eternal soul do all day?

bible

eternal

lena2000 I have been reading "Heaven" by Randy Alcorn and can honestly say that I have never thought of Heaven in the terms that Mr. Alcorn lays forth. I too once visualized Heaven as one big church service and felt guilty that I feared Heaven would be...

I'm very keen on hymns and I like to sing praises to God. But in the New Testament we don't find much teaching about praising God through the singing of hymns. Now days in most churches a lot of time and effort is spent on...

lena2000 You mean this?Happy those who do not follow the counsel of the wicked, Nor go the way of sinners, nor sit in company with scoffers. Rather, the law of the Lord is their joy; God's law they study day and night. They are like a tree planted near streams...
