I am gentle where it is called for. I don’t excuse saltless ‘lets all just get along’ surrender, which drips from your posts.
More projection...”...saltless ‘let’s all just get along’ surrender”. ‘Surrender’ in living as Jesus instructed? “If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you. You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbour and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” FWIW, those are Jesus’words in Matthew 5. I’ll take His words at face value, whether you choose to or not.
In speaking of evangelism, Francis of Assisi said, “Preach the gospel at all time and if necessary, use words.”. Perhaps it is a good idea that you ‘contend’ for the ‘pre-trib rapture’ ‘faith’ on FR and let others do the actual outreach to the unchurched. Those of us who see the errors in Pastor Darby’s theory are not apt to walk from the faith when confronted with your arrogance and sarcasm, like a baby Christian might.
