"If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead" (Luke 16:31). That Scripture should put an end to so much of the nonsense we see in churches today.Ron Livesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10685550197231995860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6043971967398769903.post-56597292038094365712014-09-04T15:43:37.096-05:002014-09-04T15:43:37.096-05:00In my humble, but correct, opinion, if Jesus, thro...In my humble, but correct, opinion, if Jesus, through the Holy Spirit, does not attract people to Him, they cannot be attracted by any superficial means.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09693381971064363612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6043971967398769903.post-26812974790919274642014-09-03T15:27:00.667-05:002014-09-03T15:27:00.667-05:00Amen, Ron!Amen, Ron!Glenn E.

That runs counter to the Scriptures and to common sense. If unbelievers "feel comfortable" in church, there is something wrong with the church. I guess we should look at how "comfortable" Jesus made the Pharisees feel.Ron Livesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10685550197231995860noreply@blogger.com
