You had to google that, didn't you. *smirk* Btw, we're all going to be judged.
Yes, you have. Often.
Why would you want to do that?
Being facetious, are we???

Actually, only to make sure my spelling was right. I remember that word from my Greek class since our instructor made a really big deal out of it and wanted us to spell it "ev" rather than "eu". Don't recall why. At any rate, if you had ever studied Greek, then "evangelism" jumps off the page. It's a transliteration.
Find it. I have never said, "to raise one's voice as fundies are wont to do with their bullhorns and shouting into the faces of those they consider lost and doomed to eternal hellfire," or anything close to it. I don't use a bullhorn or shout into faces. I don't suggest others do.

No. I am interested in your moral (or practical) reasoning for trying to lead women, in whatever manner, away from out of wedlock births. Why do you do that?

Your post #306: "It starts with me raising my voice."

I almost fell off my chair when reading this. Why indeed!
I've also led many workshops to help people job hunt, fill out job applications and put together resumes, and be comfortable during job interviews (by roleplaying and with skits).

Post 306 read, "It starts with me raising my voice. It could continue with you raising your voice. We could try and sway public opinion. That's where this kind of thing always starts." We were discussing social policy, not the gospel. You know, that is perilously close to flat out deceit. You know full well I was not talking about preaching with a bullhorn. Shame on you. Very disappointing.

Did you almost fall off your chair because, as usual, you are afraid to answer the question?

I commend you. Really.
I wonder if the ever declining membership of your Lutheran Church has to do with your rejection of evangelism?

The declining membership is because it's too literal and conservative, stuck in its ways, and outdated in its approach to younger people. For those reasons and more, I long ago left it.

So you are no longer a Lutheran? You've been saying you are a Lutheran, but now you're saying you're not.
Just out of curiosity, what are your principles of hermeneutics when reading the Bible, in particular as it relates to when to take a passage figuratively or literally?

Occupy Wall Street was confined to trespassing and vadalizing a public park and that was bad enough. These people are violating the rights of citizens who have their homes and their businesses in the occupied zone . It is completely different . They also have a right to have their life liberty and property protected . That is the primary function of government . Seattle has abdicated it's responsibilities as has the state .

I wonder if your response would have been the same if this had been handled by "Mayor Trump"?

Then there is this .... Dr. Deborah Birx, on a conference call with the nations governors disclosed that 70 c-19 testing sites had been destroyed during the Floyd peaceful protests, and there had been a resultant drop in testing. She said there will have to be a "scramble " to replace those sites because she believes cases of infections will spike in areas where the protests occurred .
What ? You didn't hear that as the lead story ?I bet you would've had this happened a week earlier when real peaceful protests by business owners who wanted to open up had destroyed the testing sites .

Those darn criminal elements.

Leaked to the Daily Caller is all I know, but for sure if it was business owners doing criminal acts we sure would have heard about it.

no concern then that the loss of the sites in the minority communities, and the risks the protests have as stated by both Birx and Fauci ,will give the virus a boost in minority communities ? More deaths will result from that than police brutality .

The only minority deaths that count are the ones lost at the hands of the police. Otherwise, no one seems interested.

Is it a subtle form of racism at work when a completely innocent white woman is shot and killed by a black police officer in Minneapolis (2019) and not a single person turns out to protest the shooting or burn a building, but when a black man is killed by a white officer the protests are large and turn violent?
