Watch Your Attitude-What is Your Primary Mission?

This is in Reference to an Article From www.Darwinsdemise.com
Evidence Against Evolution By Nicholas Comninellis, MD

In the article, Watch Your Attitude, the author gives some great tips on a creationists interaction with evolutionists. The authors thoughts are in quotes.


  1. "Be very clear about what you wish to accomplish." Sometimes we get so caught up in the facts and debates that we easily forget that not only are we trying to communicate the truths of our Creator but we desire for evolutionists to have a relationship with their Creator as well.
  2. Attitude is essential. Our objective is to ultimately point people toward Jesus - not simply to win an argument." We need to how we are presenting ourselves to our listeners. They can tell if there is a genuine kindness towards them or not. "If they believe its the latter, they will often dismiss the speaker - in spite of his or her skill. For this reason, Peter reminds us: "

    "But sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence" (I Peter 3:15)
  3. "Gentleness and reverence is particularly essential, for some people's strongest passions are kindled through debates over creation and evolution. By maintaining a content, honest, and caring attitude - in spite of others arguments and accusations - you will earn respect and credibility. "

Dr. Nicholas Comninellis, the author of the referenced article, does well to remind us of these things. More then that, I think he has done a great service.

We are not hunters out for "the kill" but hopefully we are children of the living God, the Creator of the universe, who seek to present the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. For it is He alone who can save them from their sin, shame, and spiritual bankruptcy.
