How to Reach “Pagans” Without Participating | When Do Contradictions Hurt Testimony?

About this sermon

Greg answers questions from callers about participating in “smudging ceremonies” at a pastor’s training session and whether an apparent contradiction could reach a level where it became evidence against that Gospel being an eyewitness account. 0:00 Introduction 2:57 Should Christians be participating in “smudging ceremonies” to release our bad energies (as we were asked to do in a pastor’s training session), and how should we be reaching out to indigenous people in places like Canada? 37:39 If apparent contradictions offer evidence of authentic eyewitness accounts, is there a level of contradiction that would hurt the case, like Matthew 8 contradicting Mark 5 in the number of demoniacs helped by Jesus? #StandtoReason #Apologetics #Christianity #ChristianLiving #ChurchLife #BibleQuestions ––––– MENTIONED ON THE SHOW ––––– Smudging Protocols and Guidelines for Schools: https://www.sd73.bc.ca/en/schools-programs/resources/Aboriginal-Education/Documents/Smudging-Protocol.pdf “Cold-Case Christianity: A Homicide Detective Investigates the Claims of the Gospels” by J.
