Internet Prosthelytism

. . . is stupid, and The Bible agrees:

quote:
Mark 7:6

Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.

Wow. Even Mark is contradictory.

I vote for the 7:6 passage.

But this forum is not for prosthelytism. No one should be preaching the gospel on this forum.

Should I be shakabukuing people here?

There is a differnece between debunking anothers argument, and preaching.

So, clearly Mark was uncertain about what to do in this case. Normally in such situations it is best to err on the side of caution and respect the other side.

This would likely involve not preaching at them, and perhaps realising their faith has value and is equally as deserving of respect and consideration.

All of you cause me considerable pain.

On the plus side, those agreeing with the first posted passage are acknowledging themselves as lesser beings, the equivalent of animals.

Or, we could say that we're all humans, equals, and that the act of preaching the good news is not the equivalent of giving pigs jewelry.

Please forgive those who cause you pain. I do all the time.

Which should imply that a balance should be struck.

In other words, STFU.

My take on Mark 7:6 is that it is referring to going in depth and into points of doctrine that are irrelevant to increasing the Christlike nature of the individual, if the individual is not willing to hear/understand it. So, if doctrine does not increase a person's ability to become a better person, it will be wasted on such an individual if he/she is unwilling to hear or understand it. It does not refer to discussing religion in general with another, it only cautions against discussing the finer points of doctrine with someone that would not benefit from these finer points.
