Jesus says in John 15, "If you love me, keep my commandments." One of the commandments he gave us as believers is to "let our light shine before men." Besides the great commission which CLEARLY instructs his followers to preach his message, the apostle Paul confirms this in 2 Timothy where he exorts young Timothy to "teach and preach". If the point is, "no man can preach God's word", then why are the spiritual gifts listed in Corinthians, some of which include "teaching, evangelism, prophesying, preaching...?" This is a moot point because there are countless examples of God calling and even REQUIRING man to "teach his word".

D.P. Chapter 6 -

77. Let him admonish, let him teach, let him forbid what is improper!- -he will be beloved of the good, by the bad he will be hated.

Did it ever occur to you, that those spiritually gifted preachers are few and far between? Ever hear of a religious profit, or a great spiritual philosopher? Notice... Jesus asked his WORD to be preached.

"Ask and it shall be given you, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you. For everyone that asketh receiveth, and he that seeketh findeth, and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened."

ALL or NOTHING baby.

If an apple was rotten half the way through, why would I eat it?

Edit: What of Christianity is there to disrespect? I spit on Christianity, I would burn down a church. Does that bother you? Maybe you should stop concerning yourself with worldy things.
