Apparently this is a thing.

Nothing makes me more worked up as a Christian when I see this kind of idiocy being masqueraded around as "witnessing." How does they help anyone? How does this promote God's love to sinners?

Ok so one picture is an arm on a guy working out to make him strong and the other picture is of his fist flying straight at my face... And on the back it brags about him being a man (implying females are inferior, I guess?) Yeah, great witness.

 

[Knotical]

The main thrust of this "witnessing" campaign is to hand these out to people that are supposedly to be gay. Though, no matter how you look at it, still a horrible way to witness.

I think we might be missing the forest for the trees.

I can see this approach working at muscle beach or a biker bar. It might have made this macho man "think" in my younger days. Because, down deep inside, I believe I honestly knew I was not all I thought I was.

But, would it have made me think ENOUGH? I dunno.

Welcome to our world.

I don't see this as being too much different than the stuff Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort have been peddling for years....... trying to scare people into conversion by showing them they are little better than pond scum.

It's just Legalism in a different presentation package.

But is it really a good idea to play up someone's pride as a part of witnessing?

What would Scripture say about this?What does Scripture have to say about pride?

Pride is the root of many sins.

Pride is the root of many sins.

Right on....that is what got Lucifer kicked out of heaven
Proverbs 8:13
Proverbs 16:18-19
Psalm 10:4

I don't think they are... not really. I think they are saying "This is what we, in our legalistic reading, claim the Bible says you SHOULD be doing as a male and the head of a family, but are you?

Well, the answer, of course, is "No." So, then I think they are trying to say to turn to Jesus.

im not against Us as men being the head of home. I think tis more of a way to connect to the lost, but the audience would have to be the right type.

Ohhhh. Yeah, that is how not to witness to homosexuals.

Romans 2....(NKJV)
24 For “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” as it is written.


That was the first thing that popped into my head when I read this. Sorry if I come off as a little judgmental. I couldn't get past the third line.

This is insane!
