I feel like we ought to record our entire conversations, edit them, and put them on here because otherwise there are too many questions at once and I can’t process it in my brain. Although that might be really long. But I’ve forgotten all the relevant questions now. Except for I still think you need to put something from the Old Testament too.

Pretty much all the non-churched people in Jesus’ day loved him and followed him everywhere, but the Pharisees hated him. John 9:41 – Jesus says the Pharisees claimed they could see, so their guilt remained. That’s probably why Jesus was hardcore about them – he wanted them to wake up, and they were leading people he loved astray. You’re right, telling Joe on the street everything that’s wrong with him isn’t a great idea – he is hungry for a bigger truth. There are some key ways demonstrate this, and I’ll be expanding on it more in the next article.
As for the “Mennonite mentality” – the root problem of it is turning a relationship back into rules. When people truly know who God is, they won’t want to do anything else but please Him! It simply takes a glimpse beyond the box…

The things you said on your last post, about nice guys versus loving people, that only works with Christians? Because if you straight up told someone who didn’t believe in Christianity, you’d probably turn them off believing. At least, with my non-Christian friends, I can’t straight up tell them they’re wrong because then they’ll never listen to anything else I say because then I’m just another judgmental Christian and I’m no different from everyone else. Maybe in small towns we’ve been burned by the small-town “Mennonite” mentality, where if you do something we consider bad, we’ll get after you. And then you won’t want to be a Christian. So how does this work?
