Christian to Catholic Q: Would like some input and prayer about something. One of the member of our church is defecting to Rome. He’s been buried in an echo chamber and is convinced the reformation was wrong & that Protestants don’t have the “full bible”. It’s been a long ongoing attempt to sway him back. He’s planted firm in his “convictions” on the matter. The last we spoke he tried using Hebrews 6 as an argument to refute perseverance of the saints. I have seen more examples of Christians (even reformed brothers) falling away and running to the RCC lately... and would like some guidance.  A: Be aware of the real issue here 1.  explained  here, and here 2.  Avoid being lured away by buildings & liturgical worship  Here's more info on Catholicism (and basically is the same with Orthodox too) that discusses church history. You may or may not know about it. You can read the page you're on first then pop over there (as it has the same links below as that...

Faithful "front line" evangelism here in America.  Out on a sidewalk I stopped an IT student with some questions about his beliefs. Although it was very windy and cold out, Abhishek, a Hindu from India, very patiently answered my questions.  As a Hindu, Abhishek believes in many different gods and in reincarnation into another living creature in the next life, based on his actions in this. He agreed that this implies belief in a sort of judgment day based on his actions and an ultimate spiritual authority or judge much like the biblical judgment day.  I asked if he would like to hear the Christian perspective on this, and affirmed that for him to understand it doesn't mean that he has to agree with it. He appreciated this approach and listened while I showed him his guilt according to the Ten Commandments and how a just God holds us accountable for our sins.  When I explained how Jesus has atoned for our sins on the cross, Abhishek said he was familiar with this, hav...

Q:  2 JW'S come to my house, and I witness to them about the divinity of Christ.  Pray for them bc they are hard headed. I invited them back to talk again...so that I am more prepared instead of feeling like I am ambushed (by these well trained cult people).   Any topics I should talk about next time? I'm thinking about the Holy Spirit being a Person and not a force to continue the Trinity talk. A: These will help prepare you but they're very good at decieving people... so until you study this well, i highly suggest you don't engage them. They may have put you on a blacklist anyway already... cuz you know the Bible enough. They might not return.  *They only target the uninformed pew sitters they can lure thrm away in deception, to their cult. On witnessing to cults  (1) Evangelism resource for reaching JWs online, but is material you can learn from. Also go through these.... 3 Questions for JWs  @ the door *Idk who these folks are but they offer 3 t...

Q:  I need some advice. I go out with my girl friend a few times a month for many many years, usually Friday or Saturday night to our small town legion or one other place. It’s usually a very chill atmosphere. They have meat raffles and fundraiser dinners, etc. I have one or two drinks for the whole night and I never get drunk. I don’t like being drunk at all. This past Saturday night, my girlfriend was talking to a couple of men that were sitting a couple seats down from us. I wasn’t really part of the conversation until they started talking about church, talking bad about it, and my girlfriend pointed at me and said “I don’t go to church but she does”, and all I said was “yes! I love my church!” then one of the guys started talking very disrespectful to me about church, God, and Jesus. Then my girlfriend was talking to the other guy and kind of walked away. This guy was YELLING at me for a solid 10 minutes. I couldn’t get a word in at ALL. He was cussing Jesus and I stayed as ca...

Q: What should my response be when someone out right rejects a Gospel tract?   Many that have say “If this about God or Jesus, I don’t want it.” A: If you're interested in having conversations, that's a great opening! THEM: Is that about Jesus? I don't want it!  YOU: Actually, it is. I'll save it for the next person, but I'm curious, why don't you want something to help you think about the importance of Jesus?  Listen to them and that may open the door for you to share the Gospel. If they refuse to open up though, wish them well and move on. Do try to probe. It may open doors to talk. Have ready some answers ready to top 5 expected rejection reasons the person has about religion or Christianity, or Jesus, and you might be able to chat & swing to the Gospel. Put the focus on Jesus not the people who claim to be his followers or religions that claim to be Christian. Use if questions like If God is real or if Jesus is God and if he went to great expense and le...

Q: What is your evangelism routine after evangelizing to a new person?  What is a good practice to do before we move on to the next person? A: After the convo you can give the " will think about it " person something free like Scientific facts in the Bible or Why Christianity tract if you didn't give a tract. Then leave them with God.  If they say they realize they were a false convert  & got saved today, then they have been in church before and likely have a Bible. Direct them to a biblical church nearby [that you have on a list in the area you are evangelizing and in that county]. If they don't have a Bible you can give them this  https://livingwaters.com/store/books/bibles/the-bibles-four-gospels/ probably avail on Amazon if out of stock.
