No what I am saying is most on here in response to the OP think its ok to break the law to preach the gospel...which goes against what the bible says in Romans about following the laws of the land...YET if a Muslim or anyone else breaks the law preaching their religion we think they should be in trouble, (but not us). I am talking about legal stuff here along with what the bible says about following that legal stuff...not who's faith is correct.Originally Posted by andrew_no_one

What will you do when they make it illegal to preach on the streets? Because that day will come.
Please could everyone pray for Mieke and Charles.

I don't preach on the streets myself...I use the internet...we can reach a wider group of people all over the world and I think trying to stop that (image trying to censor IM chatting? emails, etc...) would be nearly impossible...plus trying to clear out all the millions of Christian video's all over the net, the songs, the messages...they are everywhere...
God bless

I love what you said here. It reminds me of how the Israelites held on to the bronze serpent. But it was "neshutua" or something like that. It means "just a piece of brass". I've seen churches hold on to sunday school even though it wasn't near the blessing it once was... but tradition can be hard to break. We need to listen to the Lord to find out how he's moving today. He might not use the same thing today he used yesterday.

There are also some people who break the law and are punished. It is a great way for the government to pay for your prison ministry...
That's just how Paul rolled....

That's why when a certain Pastor said before the Olympics in China that it....I'm paraphrasing....."it's not the time to preach the gospel and stir up a whole bunch of trouble".
I couldn't believe that's what I had heard. Now I have considered that it's possible that he was misquoted and I've taken that into consideration. But along with other "clear as a bell" "heard it from the horses mouth" quotes from him, I tend to lean towards the side that it was probably spot on.

Or illegial to pray in schools.

Go to jail and preach the Gospel there, I suppose. Works in China, Burma (Myanmar)...worked in the Soviet gulags, in Nazi extermination camps, in the prisons during apartheid in South Africa...
Works just about every time.

What are you implying? I am for a more active approach to learning in SS, rather than just the preach/lecture approach that many Fundamental, conservative, and traditional churches use. SS should be a time where people can learn, not be preached at. Many top educators are going for more active learning methods.
As righteous as Christ.
I am just saying we need to see if the Lord is still working in something before keeping it going based only what has happened in the past. God still uses SS in some areas. For some churches, they need to let it go. That's all.
2 Kings 18:4
4 He removed the high places and broke down the sacred pillars and cut down the Asherah. He also broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made, for until those days the sons of Israel burned incense to it; and it was called Nehushtan.
NASU
We don't need to let SS, or 5 day traditional revivals, or Sunday night services, or visitation or any other thing the Lord has used in the past lock us in to what he is going to do now or in the future. The bronze serpent was valid at one time. At a later time it became an idol. It was just bronze. God used it. It was powerful. But it was always just bronze. If God is still moving in SS at a church, then it needs to stay around. But to keep it around because "we've always done it this way" is not the right reason to keep it.

Paul, the other apostles, and most of the Martyrs in Christian history obviously disagree with you.
They were not obedient to the law; thus their execution.

What laws are ok to break in order to evangelize then?
