Perhaps you could show me in Scripture where one's "walk" is not a valid witnessing tool. I may have missed that....I am prepared to be deluged with a veritable avalanche of totally irrelevant Scripture on how loving people is really screaming in their face that they're going to Hell. I know you must post those, so carry on. But humor me and throw in at least one or two that are relevant. I wait with bated breath.

Seeing that one does not want to waste his time reading "irrelevant " scripture, we would not want to bore you...so I tell you what ..you show me the scripture that says God will use your walk will bring anyone to a saving knowledge of Christ

I wait with baited breath .

BTW I can not see how the screaming in your face could have any worse a result than this thread has had

You already know we are a den of iniquity. So why are you still here? We know giving offense is your idea of preaching, and you do it well. But we are unreceptive. Please, just shake off your sandals and return, smug in your own election.

"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven."

All them heathens giving "glory to God" eh?

Colossians 4:5 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.

6 Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer each one.

1 Peter 3:1 In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives,

2 as they observe your chaste and respectful behavior.

1 Peter 2:12 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

1 Peter 3:1   Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; 2  While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.

And a negative example:
1 Corinthians 10:31So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. 32 Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God--

followed by an interesting positive....

33 even as I try to please everybody in every way. For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved. 11:1 Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.

Matt. 9:10ff While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew's house, many tax collectors and "sinners" came and ate with him and his disciples. 11 When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and 'sinners'?" 12 On hearing this, Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 13 But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

Seeing that one does not want to waste his time reading "irrelevant " scripture,"

Are you asserting that all Scripture is relevant to every situation? I know you're not. You needn't respond to this point.
