Logic,<BR/><BR/>I have no desire to once again go step by step and repeat myself in what I said earlier. You missed the entire point of what I said. You have picked apart my answers and searched for mistakes in them rather than trying to see what I was saying. This is wearisome, brother. Do you not find this wearisome? I have no desire to argue like this, it is completely meaningless and you have

Despite requests, I will not identify myself because it serves no purpose. My arguments are best understood coming from an objective source.<BR/><BR/>1. I will concede that Wesley and several others had an impact on Christianity. I fail to see why this is relevant to the argument, and I also fail to see where I objected to this. In fact, my original argument was: “I believe God has used many

Dear Anonymous,<BR/><BR/>Thank you for writing back. Allow me to answer your new comments. I pray we can come to an understanding, after all, we are both believers and should be on the same side... I would also like to know who you are.<BR/><BR/>1. Of course God has used many more men than Wesley. But no one can deny the impact that the Wesley brother, George Whitefield, William Black, Henry

This is in response to Eli's response to "Anonymous 3"<BR/><BR/>1. God has used many more men than John Wesley to shape Christianity as we know it today. That is a "great-man" approach to history that virtually all historians regard as falacious.<BR/><BR/>2. I admit that street preaching may have had positive results in the past (although i am unaware of them, i could do more reading on the

You've turned yourself off. You've chosen to do what you want. I presented Biblical truth, you've rejected it by your own free will. Your blood be on your own head.<BR/><BR/>I weep for you because you don't weep for yourself.

If you've been wondering why I haven't commented so far, it is because I have been waiting for everyone to fully say what they feel they need to say. Now it is my turn.<BR/><BR/><BR/><I>"The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil."</I> - Jesus (John 7:7)<BR/><BR/>I must now defend myself against four different comments, all under the safe

You are using the verb "to convict" incorrectly.

To begin with, I must respond to the ridiculous positive responses and encouragement you received for the schizophrenic baracade you placed around the tannery (on what might have been a pleasent afternoon i should add).

While your sincerity is clear, you may want to examine the basis for your methodology. Although there have been several people throughout history who have taken this approach, I fail to see how any lasting fruit results from such efforts. I have talked to several Christians. However, I have never met anyone who had a conversion experience due to a preacher on the street, and then after this

Dear Adam, Eli and whoever else,<BR/><BR/>I understand the gospel is not "fluffy." It has been warpped into an intolerant extreme of black and white. There are no grey areas..without the "blood of the lamb" we will all perish and burn in an eternal hell. Do i believe this? Nope. First of all, our souls are not made of physical matter...meaning we will probably not physically feel pain after we

I am so sad for all of you. The dispair you feel for those you see as living without God, I feel for you. A careful balance - an interesting design.

Eli, I'm proud of you. In fact, it is nice to see that my labours as a youth leader weren't in vain. As for anonymous' comments, please brush them off with the others who scoff at the Word of God. Continue to speak boldly.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the encouragement. It is time that I get back out on the streets of Guelph, proclaiming the Good News.<BR/><BR/>In Christ,<BR/>Luke

Be encouraged Eli. I have been following your blog for some time and have been incredibly stirred. The Atlantic is a sleeping giant and I pray the Holy Spirit will be poured out apon you and this generation (young and old alike)as never before, convicting all (includng the church) of sin, righteousness and the coming judgement.

I don't even know where to begin with the countless decrepencies and judgements in your self rightoues account. You have obviously reached a delusional extreme that some would term borderline psychotic but then again that probably doesn't phase you because you would love nothing more to make a mayrter out of yourself. How dare you make judgements about supposed goths, and homosexuals. God made

Thank you Eli for being bold enough to step out in Faith and preach the truth to our hurting generation. You have given us an example that we (the youth of this generation) need to STEP IT UP! and become a NO COMPROMISE GENERATION! <BR/><BR/>Bless you brother as you continue to trust the Lord and follow in His plan for your life!

Praise the Lord Eli! That is awesome! I really thought that that kind of preaching was not effective anymore because people have so much information now. You've really challenged me (and a movie about David Wilkerson preaching to New York Gangs), I think I'm going to have a lot of thinking to do. I've never liked arguing with people about issues because it seems to get so intense and they get

I'd amend the phrase "obvious gothic and homosexual persons." That would likely come across to an external reader as highly, highly, judgemental.
