I believe there are different approaches to getting the message of salvation across to people and that God alone knows the heart of each one of us and what words will best speak to our hearts. I have used various 'soul winning' methods like the 'Way of the Master' and 'Coral Ridge Method', etc. and I believe what is the most needful in any method use is the guidance of the Holy Spirit. He may lead us into using a certain approach for one person quite different from another or take us into certain areas beyond the packaged approach.NedFlanders wrote: ↑Wed Apr 03, 2024 8:45 pm And furthermore treating something that God sees as an abomination as wrong or calling it a sexual perversion might not “feel” compassionate but it can be much more compassionate of an action than most anything else. If someone doesn’t know they need to repent wouldn’t we be as Christian’s excited to let them know?!
When it comes to what all God sees as an abomination there are a variety of sins that scripture refers to in this way. Seems to me we can get hung up on some far more than others and it would seem those having to do with sex are given far more discussion. If we are going to get into what God hates then perhaps a good start would be Proverbs 6:16-19 where 7 of these sins are listed. God is very focused on the sins of our heart where we can even be guilty of murder. Here is a link to the Proverbs text and some explanation of those sins God hates. Perhaps we should have some discussions on these and consider what Jesus said about casting stones at the sins of others.

Perhaps someone here could share their experience of pointing out a sexual sin of an unbeliever and it has resulted in them being born again. In the Way of the Master method it uses a variety of sin examples taken from the 10 commandments to assist people to recognize what God calls sin. The Coral Ridge method begins with finding out why a person thinks God will allow them into His heaven and then takes it from there to address our self righteousness using scriptures. There are many suggested ways to lead people to Christ, that is not the main problem. I believe the main problem is our lack of real concern for the souls of others.
