Justin86 Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 I'll still like the idea of the Marines kicking his butt better. Plus Father wouldn't get in trouble with the bishop.
Brother Adam Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 I remember a preacher who came to Grand Valley State Univ when I went there for a semester. He would scream at people on the sidewalks, call girls who wore shorts "silly sallies" and "whores" and insisted that only he and his family were saved. He drove the Baptists crazy (myself included) in the number of people he turned off to hearing the Gospel. No, this is not effective preaching.

We had a group like that come to our campus-- Brother Jim and Sister Pat. They attracted quite a crowd. They would X out (in the air) anyone who was saying something they disagreed with (kinda like my four year old does when he doesn't like something)... Pretty soon, everyone caught on and we were all X in the air simultainiously (with added sound effects). They referred to the girls as "whores" and the guys as "whoremongers" regardless of what they were wearing or how they behaved. My friend Brad was actually quite good at "dialoguing" with them (until he was Xed out).... what a fun afternoon. This group (there was another woman, too... but I can't remember her name) also claimed that they never sinned anymore now that they were saved. Ah college-- the freeflowing exchange of ideas.
123 Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 [quote]cast you out, unclean spirit, along with every Satanic power of the enemy, every spectre from hell, and all your fell companions; in the name of our Lord Jesus +Christ. Begone and stay far from this creature of God.+ For it is He who commands you, He who flung you headlong from the heights of heaven into the depths of hell. It is He who commands you, He who once stilled the sea and the wind and the storm. Hearken, therefore, and tremble in fear, Satan, you enemy of the faith, you foe of the human race, you begetter of death, you robber of life, you corrupter of justice, you root of all evil and vice; seducer of men, betrayer of the nations, instigator of envy, font of avarice, fomentor of discord, author of pain and sorrow. Why, then, do you stand and resist, knowing as you must that Christ the Lord brings your plans to nothing? Fear Him, who in Isaac was offered in sacrifice, in Joseph sold into bondage, slain as the paschal lamb, crucified as man, yet triumphed over the powers of hell.[/quote] Ouch...He would act differently. On the other spectrum, he also may think that the priest stating this exorcism was on his side.
S][N Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 What an idiot. I like the way the church handled it at the end though lol. He must've been spewing.
LouisvilleFan Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 [quote name='slushpuppy' post='1401935' date='Oct 13 2007, 08:57 PM']Take a look at this [url="http://youtube.com/watch?v=NoEfp2eEA1c"]http://youtube.com/watch?v=NoEfp2eEA1c[/url] I found this video on youtube and wanted to bring it to the attention of my friends here. Does anyone think this is effective preaching? Do you think anyone in this church took this guy seriously?[/quote] I didn't even watch the video. The fact that we're talking about him here is proof of his effectiveness.

[/quote] Yep, Brother Jim is all over the place. He would stop by the University of Louisville once or twice a year, but I haven't heard if he's been there lately since I graduated. A friend of mine who was in Intervarsity with me once talked to him in a one-on-one conversation (when he wasn't preaching) and she said he actually seemed more balanced than she expected, like all this preaching he does is more for the theatre and stirring things up than for communicating his honest beliefs. The cool thing was, you'd often have opportunities to share the Gospel with people in the crowd that you never would've talked to otherwise if Brother Jim hadn't caused all these people to interrupt their routine. Another friend of mine even got to do a little preaching of her own and when she went back the next day, someone in the crowd told everyone to shut up and listen to her! There are some things about college that I miss...
LoneYankee Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 For someone to be so disrespectful like that is sinful in itself. I have no idea who that man thinks he is to interrupt a service like that. Do they have son sense of dignity?

Are you implying people here are easily swayed to 'false beliefs' by people running around and yelling? :|

He might just want attention, in which case, he's obviously done very well for himself. Although, I read in the previous post that he interrupted a service... that's not so cool.

Well he has my attention for now I don't have a problem with it.
