I don't suppose you have a scripture verse that says that the church building should not be used for evangelical purposes?

This verse by the Apostle Paul CLEARLY endorses doing evangelism in church. I challenge you to show even ONE New Testament verse with the theme: "Thou shalt not evanglize in church."

My answer of a moment ago applies here just as well: So? That has nothing to do with what we are saying. I could put up a picture of a straw man here. A non-seeker sensitive church does not equal unloving or dour. Sigh...

You are trying to say that if A does NOT = B, then B = C or A = C and that is poor reasoning -- math and otherwise. :) The key word is centered. Nowhere did anyone say that evangelism does NOT take place in a building! For crying out loud, of course evangelism happens in the building. (insert straw man picture / )

But we as individual are to be centered on Christ Jesus and when we are, then His love and His gospel will flow out of us like Living Water. We went down this same road earlier that you never addressed. When you do, then perhaps we can continue, but I don't see any Godly reason to do that again until that happens.

In the meantime, I pray that all will come more and more to a better knowledge of Christ Jesus our Lord in their lives - yielding their will unto His.

I show you a verse that says evangelism is more than acceptable in church and you can't show one that says it cannot be done, and all you can say is:

So?....straw man

Sorry, Lupie, but that is irrational. The verse directly addresses the issue you raised.

You are wrong, biblically, and should stop holding to the opinion that evangelism in church is inappropriate.
