Street Preachers And A B Evangelists

[nailit]

Just why?

See so many street preachers bangin on about needing jesus etc (same with AB evangelists).
Do these people honestly think that they are going to change anyone's life view by quoting a book (actually shouting it) that no one believes in anyway?
Makes it especially hard when these people are challenged to defend their book and wont...because anyone who doesn't subscribe to that belief is hellbound anyway)
Any chance of a decent conversation is stilled. Because unbelievers are doomed anyway.


What a carp way to live your one and only life. That's all I can say.
Personally, I like to appreciate everyone that has been in my life. Not condemn them to eternal torture for not believing the same things as me.

What a sick belief system!

//I listen to street preachers. No one learns by not listening//
Agree, but it does get a bit 'samey' after a while...

Recently, I went into a Vodafone shop in town. We could hardly hear what each other was saying and all the surrounding shops had closed. There were a group of hare Krishna singing in the middle and although the police had been called, they had said they were not able to do anything as it was a "religious group".

They are good people trying their best.

Hmmm... these were people shutting down businesses...

No they're not Theland, how would you like it if I came round to your house once a week and used a loudspeaker to blast you with music you don't like for an hour? The evangelist's around here do the equivalent of that, usually around the time that parents are trying to get their children asleep.

[Theland]

Then they should have more consideration for the residents.

You say that no one believes the book eg the Bible, well I believe it.
Nobody, not even street preachers can covert anyone. Only the Holy Spirit can do that.
However street preaching can be one tool amongst many others of at least making people aware of the Good News of Jesus.
You seem to suggest that no one will ever change their mind. Any study of evangelism will show that to be wrong.

Bit pointless preaching then?

[Theland]

Now then, now then Nailit!
You are aware of the great commission aren't you?

[naomi24]

Theland, don’t you think ‘the great commission' is contradictory?

Sometimes I chat with them. I approached one gentleman street preacher and told him that he had a beautiful smile and that he should be on TV. He really did have but he just wanted to talk about Jesus.
