Comment on How not to get involved in every verbal street fight… by Carina

Carina — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 10:25:34 +0000

Hallo Stephan
Sjoe, wat ‘n goeie stukkie raad, dankie!
My 62jarige Pa het vandag ‘n e-pos van een van sy broerskind af ontvang wat nou al vir jare vervreemd is van die familie. Dit was in reaksie op ‘n Christelike e-pos wat hy via e-mail met hom gedeel het.
Dit krap hom geweldig om omdat dit sy broerskind is en nie weet waar om te begin om so iemand te help nie…wat van sy siel…?
Ek het die e-pos hier onder probeer insit vir maklike verwysing maar moes van die goed uithaal omdat die sisteem dit as spam beskou. Het jy dalk vir hom raad?

“Hallo Oom

Dankie vir jou positiewe sentiment, ek waardeer dit.Ongelukkig werk gebed eenvoudig nie.

Hier is n paar oulike plekke op die Net wat dit goed verduidelik en jou posisie kan verlig:
godisimaginary.com
anamericanatheist.org/2010/11/06/breaking-news-prayer-does-not-work/
ethanwiner.com/prayer
skepdic.com/prayer

Ek stel ook voor jy kry twee boeke vir jou bedkassie.

Richard Dawkins se God Delusion en Christopher Hitchens se God is NOT great

Daar is ook soveel wonderlike TV series wat enige rasionele persoon behoort te sien:

Enemies of Reason
The Root of All Evil

Ek reken emails soos die een wat jy aan my gestuur het sou skaarser wees as meer mense op hou om elke oggend brons-eeuse dogma met hulle post-toasties te meng.

As jy steeds informasie soek oor hoe onsamehangend en absurd die Christen geloof is, geniet Aron Ra se Youtube series Foundational Falsehood of Creationism.

Hier is n link na die eerste van omtrent 15 episodes xxx

Angus Bachan is n onderwerp vir n ander dag.

Mooi bly en baie liefde.
Douw”

Sal waardeer om van jou te hoor!
Groete Carina

Hi Stephan

I agree with you that sometimes foolishness doesn’t need to be responded to, however the Bible gives us all we need to assertively and verbally strike back in standing up for what we believe in. Sometimes I get the impression that us Christians hide behind our faith. Lastly, if the insults go too far, why not even consider a punch in the face?

Regards

Werner

1. I knew about it for some time.
2. To share with fellow ‘new covenant grace believers’.
3. Only started recently.
4. Current.
5. I read both, but no preference.
6. More about the ‘gospel of grace’ that Paul proclaimed. Most believers in the world are totally ignorant about this new revelation that is setting the world alight – and rightly so!

1. Ek was bewus van echurch en het op die net gesoek tot ek dit gekry het..
2. Die onderwerpe is baie relevant en was selfs ‘n paar keer asof dit spesiaal vir my bedoel was die
Here gebruik mos baie keer mense om vir jou ietsie te sê.
3. Ek maak dit oop en lees dit sodra ek dit ontvang.
4. Omtrent 1 jaar.
5. Ek lees die Engelse artikels ook maar dit sal wonderlik wees om dit ook in Afrikaans kan ontvang.
6. ‘n Reeks Bybelstudies kan wonderlik wees.

Oh, let us bring the whole house down so that all who are outside can see Him and touch Him and receive healing.

1. Some of the people in our cell group spoke about it and I checked it out, and loved it
2. I like the different perspective with which Stephan looks at Christianity
3. Once every few weeks, but then I read almost all the posts in the same session, so I need to let time lapse to accumulate enough reading material
4. Almost 2 years
5. I read mostly the English articles, but don’t mind either.
6. More posts by Stephan
