"If no one here can be used by God I’m sure you could tell us why scripture tells us to “exhort”, “teach”, “spread the gospel” and all of that?"

That is a false premise and not at all the one I made. My statement is that no one on FR converts anyone, that is done exclusively by the Holy Spirit. All we can hope to do is to prepare the soil and plant some seeds through our words and our example.

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

Well then. That fits right in with what boatbums said which generated you comment that “No one on Free Republic converts anyone” doesn’t it? After all, she simply said “a few will come to Free Republic and read these dialogs for themselves and the truth of the gospel shines through to those who sincerely seek it”. Seems to me that what she said we were doing is something along the lines of “prepare the soil and plant some seeds through our words and our example”. I guess I’m not sure than why you thought to tell her we don’t convert anyone.
