Actually, you have misread his reaction.
When he saw my (written) distress over the situation,
Ryan publically apologized. He had sent my messages to the other teen for his debating feedback and posted his answers back to me (at least the first time) because he learned a lot from debate.
The other boy then offerred to have the thread pulled but I declined.
Please don't rush to judgemet.
Go get em!
Prayer bump!
I've been thinking about you and Ryan lately, as well. This must be why. The Lord walks with you as you battle for their souls.
The Lord will speak directly to newberger's heart and let him know when to walk away.
I don't believe he is lost yet. Based on the chain of events and the insecurity and immaturity of the young man, I think he joined for social reasons and not out of any strong message of faith.
I will continue to pray - the guy converted two weeks ago.
Dear Lord, please be with Paul in his efforts to bring this young teenage boy to You. Please bless his efforts, and multiply them as You see fit.
Dear Lord, please give him the words he needs. Please open the minds and hearts of those who read them.
We ask this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
Thank you, Lord.
Prayer for open ears and heart for this young man .
Paul , God sees your efforts and will bless
Heavenly Father, please continue to give newberger wisdom and give him the words to say and please quicken those words by Your Spirit as on the islam web site.
Send Your Spirit to search out amongst those reading the ones who are ripe for Your harvest, convict them of Your TRUTH, woo them, reason with them, hover over them, and send Your servants across their path to continue witnessing for the sake of the Lord and for their souls' sakes. Please continue pouring conviction over them and into them; pour deliverance and salvation into them in Your perfect time and according to Your sovereign will.
In the mighty Name of Jesus, AMEN
