I tried. I tried everything with the unsaved ones on the board and to no avail. I am on the verge of just giving up witht he nocnhristians on the noard and just sticking to the section where I communicate with fellow brothers and sisters in Jesus here. I do nto want them to go to hell. How could anyone call himself or herself a Christain and want that for anyone!But these people seem to WANT to go to hell!I do not want to give up on them, but...............

Matthew 7:6
"Do not give dogs what is holy, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you.

Look, get it through your head I am NOT a calvanist and I totally do not agree with this concept . Stop saying this message over and over ro nme as I am sick of it!
Under your logic just how are we supposed to witness to people at al l
Plus when a nonbeliever sees a post like yours it just gives them more ammo.

fs, What do you think the verse means? When does this verse ever have application to you? What is the "dog" and what is "holy"? Calvinism doesn't need to be mentioned here. All I have tried to do in talking to you is help and encourage you, and perhaps save you some pain and hardship. It is my hope that even though I am young in the faith myself I could help you out and try to build you up. We are supposed to witness to people because Jesus commands us to and this is how God's people are called to Him. The fact that Jesus preached to unbelievers in His earthly ministry tells us that He did not mean by this verse, "never preach to unbelievers, ever". But what you are doing by denying that you should ever stop giving what is holy to the numerous "dogs" and "pigs" on this forum makes this verse meaningless. So we have to ask the question - when does it count? It has to count sometime. If there is never a point when you stop casting your pearls before hardened, blasphemous swine and move on to others, then you might as well white out this verse. Edit: P.S. Please take a look at the various versions and commentaries here: bible.cc/matthew/7-6.htmAlso, from a site that is definitely not Calvinistic, see www.bible.ca/ef/expository-matthew-7-6.htm .

"I'm not a Calvinist! Don't quote Scriptures to me!"
The dog here is the Calvinist and that which is holy is Arminian theology.
Hi Tyler ;D

Too bad my wife can't see how funny I am. She's got my two year old daughter saying: "Daddy, you're a dork!"
