Ciara, It's not a cheap shot. You and I just don't quite see eye to eye on this matter. But that is OK. I think somewhere along the line, you have decided that I said not to tell people they are lost. And that is not what I said. I said I think ACCUSING [insert the word 'judging' here if you'd like] them of being lost by yelling it from rooftops and our journals is not right. But when sharing the Gospel with them in love, then we obviously need to explain to them what being lost is and why they need a Savior. It's about the approach and whether we accuse 'the lost' or love 'the lost'.
We can all take verses from the Bible to support our views and do it until the cows come home. But your quote is from Cornelius Van Til. While respected, his is but another human opinion. It's not scripture. :)
But with this said, it's probably best to move forward from here. I don't want to endlessly debate this with you because perpetual debates tend to breed hostility and frustration. I don't think either of us wants to get to that point!! LOL.
