Reaching Out To The Unchurched by itstpia1(op): 1:31am On Oct 08, 2014
a question for practicing Christians:

the internet is teeming with all kinds of things these days, anytime you browse you are immediately exposed to various forms of unclothedness and all types of perversion. Not to mention SDM and all that comes with it.

Are any Christians reaching out to these people, or are we just passively watching (or cowering) as they display their God given assets.

The Christians who are into IT and such, do they have any plans in this area? huh

or nobody knows whats going on?

Unchurched?
Everybody is expose to this great development from Satan, and unfortunately he is winning!
Do you have a plan?

how is he winning?

or you mean he has won already.



Do you have a plan?
no, i dont.


what plan is available preaching to someone who is naked and possibly exposing all their private parts at the same time?

has anyone ever been in this type of situation before? Outside of the early missionaries who met our forefathers with no clothes on, and preached to them anyway, but its still not the same as what we see now on/in the net.


and also, how do you preach to someone whose job it is to watch you unclad?

Yea, he is winning. Youths don't read their bikes again but always online.. Only in this 21st century will you see someone that can spend 10 hours gaming, browsing without sleeping,, immediately they lay hands, n the bible, give them 10 minutes, they are gone..
Satan also use this distractions to pull some youths into pornography, which is becoming a norm now, it's only a matter of time.

hmm.

lets assume most youths are already in the net.

How would you pull them out?

just theorizing here.

Seriously, I don't think that's possible..
The best we can do is to do awareness about the danger, organise seminar both online and offline.. I think this will open their veiled eye!

warnings are in order, but most folks who are in the system wouldnt consider the warnings as applying to them. Or they just ignore them outrightly.

however, i suppose there's only so much one can do.

at the same time, eleran ara na ni everybody, nobody possesses jet propelled wings, they still are human regardless.


There was a lady who went to preach to some naked tribes back in the olden days, she had to take off all her clothes before they allowed her to talk to them.

very extreme, but the gospel MUST be preached to all nations (including naked ones), and then the end will come.

That's true, ignorance is a major setback..
Yes, we are all flesh, but We can subdue flesh if we don't play with fire.
That's lovely of her, it shouldn't be a big deal since others are unclad too
Re: Reaching Out To The Unchurched by itstpia1(op): 4:47pm On Oct 09, 2014
basically, what i'm asking here is how do we minister to the n.aked?


most of who have already heard the gospel at some point.

is it expedient, advisable or possible for a bible believing Christian to enter their enclave in the n.ude (ie as a n.ude) in order to preach to them?

With the full understanding the nudie bible believer will be photographed, marked and also ostracised by all who know them? It represents a totally different lifestyle, value system, and you are not even sure whether or not you will come out alive.


The other option is for the preaching to come from within, ie from among the nudies themselves.

how to minister to those who are already playing with fire?

The way is evangelism..
Sideline? I don't get!

someone is playing with fire by choice, compulsion or error.

all entreaties are ineffective.

yet you still have a burden for the person and do not want to leave them.

What would you consider a more effective way of preaching- evangelize from a safe distance so you dont get caught up in fire, or join the person and you both play with the fire while you preach?

remember the topic is about the unclad culture on the internet which is the lifestyle of actual people.

You have to risk everything for evangelism,
Like the common proverb, you behave like a roman if you are in Rome. An evangelist will try everything like dressing like them to gain their attention, even through the evangelist they can learn to put on cloth.. I am close to some missionaries, what they do to win souls for christ is really more than been unclad..

Before you can become an evangelist, you have to be a strong christian. It is just like someone is trapped in the pit, an evangelist must be careful so as not to fall in the pit too..
Re: Reaching Out To The Unchurched by itstpia1(op): 5:21pm On Oct 09, 2014
My emphasis here is not on a position of evangelist, since preaching the gospel is not restricted to only one office but rather its a responsibility assigned to every believer.


So, let's assume the context here is that of someone who is looking for ways to minister to people who can probably quote the bible better than them, but are stark n.aked on the internet.

However, I do see your points.
