The bible doesn't teach street-preaching. It teaches disciples of Christ spread the gospel one on one. Only in the beginning died the Apostles teach by witnessing to a crowd, and only because it was new to them so it was an effective way to spread the good news to the masses interested in hearing it. There wasn't enough people trained in the gospel to witness one on one. Otherwise we were told to do otherwise.

We witness the good news one on one. No shouting or rudeness necessary.

Just for your info, you are off on both of your points here. Be careful of being a pharisee making up your own rules taking the place of GOD.

Very dangerous stuff.
Interesting that your Jesus told people to do what the Pharisees instructed...

If you believed the Bible, then you wouldn't have to ask.

1 Thessalonians 5:22
Abstain from all appearance of evil.

You're off base, and don't recognize the signs of the times. The hour is late. Have you not read Jesus' Revelation?

Revelation 11

3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.

Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they said to him: “We are not blind also, are we?†Jesus said to them: “If you were blind, you would have no sin. But now you say, ‘We see.’ Your sin remains.â€
if we really want the truth, Jehovah God will help us to see if. if not then we will remain blinded by satan ,(2Cor.4:4). some who believe they can see, because of their arrogance they are the ones who's blind.

It's plain to see those who worship a god because he scares the **** out of them.

How sad.

If you were sure and could prove it you would share the chapter and verse..

Halloween is not evil..Share chapter and verses where God or Jesus proclaims Halloween evil?

The problem I have with Halloween is that I do not understand why it has become such a big deal for adults? I ignore it, and will continue to until Easter becomes more of a big deal than Halloween is.

1 Peter 2

[22] Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
[23] Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
Do you honestly believe that they are really accomplishing any good there?
