He does not force, push or antagonize people. OAP needs to consider this when shouting offensive statements at passerbyers whom they are trying to evangelize. And if you get things thrown at you, hit or spit on please don't youtube it as "beaten for Jesus". More than likely you yourself provoked it. Also the Lord is a ‘perfect’ gentleman.

It's not like every person you get saved is another notch on your belt. It's how one relates with people, the quality in which they can become transparent seeing themselves 'first' as a sinner. What I find with OAP is that they lack wisdom at times.... Also it isn’t the amount of people that one leads to Christ that matters.

If you challenge one of these do gooders they become defensive and obnoxious. I have been alerted to one coming in the city in which I will notify all my street youth NOT to venture near him. Other ministries have done the same for the protection of outreach programs the Lord has blessed us and many others with. Open air preaching is a public nuisance.

If you are zealous to observe those Scriptures as "commands of God", you need to do what Jesus and Paul (or whoever the author of Hebrews was) were saying - go to synagogue and listen to what they tell you to do. Were the Pharisees Jesus was commanding them to obey Christians? (no) Didn't the early Christians the author of Hebrews was writing to go to Jewish synagogues to meet? (yes) So, take the plain and simple meaning of these scriptures and put them into practice yourself, before telling others "Ur doin' it wrong". I think you’re missing the point, republitarian.

You have a right to post whatever you like, but in choosing to prosthelytize, you undermine the purpose of the Hburg news site. This article was not about the content of the open-air preachers' message, but look how it's purpose has been subverted. Many of you have chosen to put your religious beliefs on display. Ask yourselves, what have you accomplished by doing so? Like the open-air preachers, I would say that you have made an impact. I doubt, however, that it was the impact you intended.

They place themselves in high traffic areas so that they cannot be easily avoided. They exercise anti-social behaviors (like shouting) in order to draw attention to themselves and to their message. They create controversy in order to generate discussion. Although I believe that they are well within their rights to behave that way, they undermine their own credibility with their actions. They undermine their own best intentions by failing to understand the broader impact of their behavior.

According to the bible one must believe that Jesus was the Son of God, confess with the mouth, and be baptized....remember that one must be born again? That would indicate that a Jew who does not do those things may encounter a problem. Oh Jeremy,

1 Corinthians 12:13

13For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.

According to the bible one must believe that Jesus was the Son of God, confess with the mouth, and be baptized….remember that one must be born again?

That would indicate that a Jew who does not do those things may encounter a problem.

If I still considered myself a Christian, maybe I'd be worried about that responsibility. But I don't, so I'm not. “Emmy, don’t use other peoples’ shortcomings and an unbelieving heathen’s quote to absolve yourself of the christian responsibility to go to church”
