Engel Scale


The class started out with the Subway bread issue that has been taking spotlight. The bread was filled with a chemical that is found in yoga matts and other types of plastic. I thought that was weird and i wanted to scream because they narrator said that there is almost no difference with how Subway cooks and prepares their food from McDonald's and BurgerKing.

The class discussion is on "The Journey" of how someone becomes a Christian. The example used was the tattoo palor the made a Jesus Characture with two thumbs-ups that says- it was ok to get a tattoo. The tattoo palor owner had a huge recientment toward Christians because of his past with them was not  a good one all together.

The professor asked the tattoo palor owner, after have a wonderful and healthy conversation with him, of what type of church would he would want to go to. The response that the tattoo palor owner gave the professor was the church where he can be hugged and embraced.

The following topic was the Engle Scale of Evangelism and where the people who do not know Christ, are in the back slidden position, and a new believer would be placed in this scale.

There are some arguements that suggests that AA is not Gospel of Christ focused.
There are some folks that argue Joel Olsteen is positive attitude toward the Gospel of Jesus Christ but he does not give his flock the meat of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

I talk gave my own confession of what i am going through with my lady who is a believer but does not believe that Jesus Christ of Nazareth is the only way. I wanted to walk away from her but the love that I have for her is strong and I am willing to give her a chance but she has to step up and be willing to go further in Christ. By reading the Word, having a prayer life, and walking by faith in and with Christ. Also, being connected to by a local body of Christ.
I would say, from the scale, she is a negative four, which is a positive attitude towards the Gospel but does not see that she has a sin problem that Christ died for and sinful-nature that has to be circumcised off her heart.
Colossians chapter 2, would be helpful for her to see.

I am still praying that the Lord is working in her life and my own and to show me how to handle her correctly. Not to judge her but to be understanding to her hurt and weakness. And have the Holy Spirit minister to me and to her. We both need the grace of God in Christ and through Christ Jesus our Lord God and King.

The challenges that i see is that i have to be patient and seeking the face of God.
