Thanks, wmfights. I agree to some extent that we need to keep trying (in love, however) but in the end it’s the Holy Spirit who guides them and us into all truth. I find that people of other faiths really believe in what they’ve been taught (like we have) and it’s tough to reach them. I know I don’t have the words or the knowledge to rebuke their teachings. I only have the ‘basics’ and hope that’s enough but I don’t have faith in my own ability to do even that. I can only agree with those who do. Love, Mxxx

"I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase." -- 1 Corinthians 3:6

When I first began posting to the RF, a FRiend advised me to simply rely on the word of God because it is best rebuke, rebuttal and resource on earth.

If the Holy Spirit decides to open someone's eyes, praise God. If not, we've still done as He commanded us to do -- preach the word in truth in season and out.

Don't be intimidated by those with the seminary degrees, or the long wordy answers. It's real simple. If something is being stated as a fact ask where is it understandable in the Bible. If you can't find it in the Bible, guess what it's probably not good.
