One word (if it is a word):
Pwned!
I know it is probably different for each situation, but how confrontive do you think Christians should be in debating other religions and/or cults? With Mormons and JW's, I think it is important to let them know that they DO NOT represent Jesus Christ. They often us His name in sharing their faith, but are CLEARLY wrong on their interpretation of Jesus and the Bible. When dealing with Muslims, my approach is often been helping them understand Abraham with Issac and Ishmael. Once this is fixed, it is easier for them to understand Jesus Christ IMO. From my understanding it often takes 5-7 years of building a relationship with a Muslim before they are ready to convert to Christianity. That relationship needs several years of baby steps. I've been friends with a Muslim, gas station owner, here in the metro Detroit area for several years now. My pastor became friends with him first and we all became friends a few years back. He completely trusts us (so much so that we sometimes work his cash register). He has a GREAT knowledge of the Bible and we have been able to help him understand Christianity. I truly believe the only thing that holds him back is the fact that his family would disown him if he became a Christian. I feel one day he will have the courage to accept Jesus Christ. I've had little interactions with Buddists, Hindus, and most other religions/cults.
What do you think? I have no problem with the guy in the above video. I'm not sure I would have been as harsh with my words, but what he said was truth. He knows the Word, and I felt like he used it correctly.
