I still think praying the best action plan though.

Yes, praying is a good strategy. But you also need to be ready to confront the false teachings with Scripture. And sometimes you may have to be confrontative about it.

In the book of John the Lord showed us a number of different witnessing techniques. The one He showed us with Nicodemus was one of confrontation. Nicodemus knew the Scriptures and should have known what Jesus was talking about so Jesus used a confrontational style with him.

I would say that most of the people on this thread, and this forum in general, could be considered in the class of Nicodemus and should know better. So a more confrontative style is called for.

And the role of Jesus will be played today by Kevin...
