And, we also generally see the great commission not as orthodoxy but orthopraxis - show the folks the way of Jesus before teaching about the way of Jesus. MCC - giving a glass of water in the name of Jesus is right on as far as I am concerned.<br /><br />You are right about us old farts and mortality! :-)hoosierdaddynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33475986.post-7377096421086761832012-02-17T10:05:38.211-07:002012-02-17T10:05:38.211-07:00Hoosier, getting back to the dunk tank, Matthew 28...Hoosier, getting back to the dunk tank, Matthew 28:18-20. "Then Jesus came to them and said, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, BAPTIZING them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." <br />Have always thought the Anabaptists were more into The Great Commission (orthodoxy), than giving stuff to people (orthopraxy). Get their minds right first, then good works will follow. If not, then their minds ain't quite right yet.<br />I do very much appreciate the interesting stories about interesting people doing interesting things, however, older people (me) are much more aware of our own mortality and naturally curious as to the spritual condition of our fellow earthlings and where they might spend eternity.Just Wonderin'noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33475986.post-3570889344438575692012-02-16T11:16:50.517-07:002012-02-16T11:16:50.517-07:00JW - a better question from your preacher would be...JW - a better question from your preacher would be "how have you treated your fellow humans regardless of their station in life?" a la Matthew 25 which is the only time Jesus talked about judgement. And don't give me the canard that Jesus was talking about countries - biblical scholars agree that all nations refers to all of the people of all of the nations. Besides, would God curse the righteous of an evil nation because of the actions of the unrighteous? One would hope not. Many who proclaim Lord, Lord will not be heard - talk is cheap and actions count, as in orthopraxy trumps orthodoxy.hoosierdaddynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33475986.post-67950246336447070712012-02-16T06:26:23.063-07:002012-02-16T06:26:23.063-07:00An interesting and fulfilling life, but as my prea...An interesting and fulfilling life, but as my preacher would say, "Zuma, if you died right this minute, where would you be five minutes from now?"
