Emile, I absolutely agree with you on this, and I saw something more. Hopefully you will read this mindboggling brother's personal testimony of escaping throughout Polish and Nazi germany, as a very young Jewish boy with a strong belief in Jesus Christ. That is a powerful story in itself, and I would like to learn how such a miracle was possible. I personally saw in the post you quoted a man who was putting "wise as the serpent, but gentle as the dove." He was using the old Paulian approach, when in E[phesus, the heaven of the satanic worshippers in the form of the idol of Diane. He came in almost buttering them up by complimenting them on how MANY varities of satan they actually worshipped. Then sneaked the conversation over to the True God in Heaven. And it worked rather well. Using that example, I also used the same ploy among people who would be written off by everyone. And the way I sneaked into their dark and godless world was by always turning the conversation over to how their lifestyle reminded me of the plains Indians in many ways, and would start with the Sioux, and beginning long tales on how they loved the Father of Jesus Christ, and how Sitting Bull ended up as Christian as he needed to be to get into heaven. From there you can bring in scripture, and the spider is trapped for time enough to plant a good seed. Of course, being likened to the Sioux warriors was the finest compliment you can give such a man. It is being wise as a serpent. So, after reading this very precious brother's story of his life, of course it was very sad that you did not know what you were missing, so I thank you for looking again. I do refer you to his testimony on the same web site. (Truly he enters a dangerous realm, the Talmud. And to go in blazing away at the evils therein would have been totally fruitless as you know.) Many people could and should look again at many things, indeed. Myself included, of course.
