gag me with more head knowledge coming out of the mouth

true believers live out their faith, faith is found in the life and in the words, in the trials and in the joys, the challenges, etc.,

the gist of this article is “we have the Bible, now we need a representative to inpertret it for us.” Evangelizing is not an intellectual contest.

Spin – 8

You boast – “I do – in fact, I led scores of people to Christ that way in the 70’s, and they’re still “in the faith,” much to my chagrine.”

I don’t believe one word of what you say – the reason? – you are unlearned, have little knowledge of the Word of God, you make claims about the Bible even a non believer wouldn’t make. You don’t even realize the mistakes you make when it comes to Scripture.

“So I’m wondering if it might not benefit a good many churches to get back to basics.”

It’s just the basics that Maher finds especially funny. To wit, his spiel that re-tells the gospel candidly rather than in credal theobabble sounds ridiculous on its face.

e.g., “God decided to impregnant a young Palestinian girl with Himself …” (inexact quote)

None of us would be surprised if footage of Christians ably explaining their faith ended up on the cutting-room floor when Maher’s film was edited,

Yes, and why? Because that’s not very funny, and Religulous is a COMEDY, not a theological/metaphysical documentary!

Although, I confess that what most Christians think is “ably explaining their faith” is likely to have a certain comedic element to it!

Victoria – “I wonder how many really know how to explain Salvation to another person in a normal conversation,…?”

I do – in fact, I led scores of people to Christ that way in the 70’s, and they’re still “in the faith,” much to my chagrine.

Tony’s “Thoughtful atheist” revised:

“I think of [evangelicals] and [their] stupid [smug] face[s], and I see a m[ob] who wields [a delusion] the way a [monkey flings crap].”

I would agree with you on some levels, but when it comes to the Word of God, anyone can study and share the Gospel with others. The Holy Spirit works through each Believer if they are willing to share the wonderful Salvation we have through Christ Jesus, it isn’t an intellectual thing at all, its a heart change –

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
2 Timothy 2:15
