Does preaching turn people hostile.....

Too bad.. He was one hell of a funny guy.. Used to be a preacher before he became a comedian!

 

Both go very well together....

 

Wonder if he thought comedy was a better way to make people realize things. Thanks.

 

So very trueeee Nate. I believe that preaching should be downturned a bit by christians. I feel the best way to preach is to show people how you treat your fellow human beings and how people care for each other. This is the best way of preaching and you dont even need to say a word to anyone about it. They will see gods love radiating from within you.

 

Some interesting things here.

This is why everyone gives up on you. No one can have a discussion with you since you think you know it all. The thing about a "know it all" is that is all they will know. (Once you know everything you can't be taught anything.)

Probably won't understand that, but I figured I would throw it out there.
I think the OP was talking about people like you when he says "preaching"

 

i agree debunked, but Christians oughtta reevaluate how they do things. judging someone else is not godly and I've seen it done many times by Christians..

 

STox was probably talking about people who try to preach before they hardly start to practice. Thanks.

 

Not in my experience. I agree with debunked on this one. The sad thing about Stox is that while he appears to have at least some capacity, he squanders what he does have available with the pastiche and not the substance of intellectual rigor, and he has no desire to learn beyond his limited ken. It doesn't generally amount to a good deal, in my opinion.

 

Yep...It's a lonely old merry-go-round he plays on

Care to explain why you linked to that?

Every one is interested in preaching but how many are ready to follow? Hardly few

 

It is true that most people would prefer to preach than practise. The number of people who hate preachers and those who don't too seem to be divided. Thanks.
