(PROVERBS 27:5) "Open REBUKE is better than secret love"

-It is more loving to Rebuke (Show disapproval of sin) than it is to secretly love some one, by not correcting them and letting them burn in hell. It is loving to warn your neighbor of hell and their sin, so they can have a chance to repent & turn to Jesus before it's everlastingly too late.-

(1 Corinthians 1:18)
"The preaching of the Cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are saved, it is the power of God"

(Proverbs 12:1) "Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish."

(John 3:36) "He that believeth on the Son has everlasting life: and he that believeth NOT the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him."

(Luke 13:3-5) "Exept ye repent, you will all like wise perish."

(Psalm 119:165) "Great peace have they which love thy law and nothing shall offend them."

-If you loved God's law, you would NOT be offended by his laws being preached-

(Proverbs 28:4-5) "They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them. Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the Lord understand all things."

(James 4:4) "Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God"

(1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
"Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God."

(2 TIMOTHY 4:2) "Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine."

(EPHESIANS 5:11) "Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, rather REPROVE them."

(John 7:24)"Judge not according to the appearance, but JUDGE RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT."

(Luke 7:43) "Thou has Rightly Judged"

(Proverbs 31:9) "Open thy mouth and Judge Righteously, heed the cause for the poor and needy." (Heathens NEED Jesus)

(1 Corinthians 2:15) "But He that is Spiritual Judgeth ALL THINGS..."

(Mathew 7:1 & 5) (1)"Judge not, that ye be not judged-(5)Thou hypocrite, FIRST cast the beam out of thine own eye; AND THEN you can see clearly to cast the mote out of thy brother's eye."..
......(ie: Don't judge as a hypocrit, first cast out the hypocrisy from yourself - ..It doesn't say to never judge, if it did, that would mean you couldn't vote and we'd have to remove all judges from our court systems)

(Psalm 119:13) "I have declared all Judgments of my mouth"

Here is what I have to say to those who don't like street preaching/Open air preaching:
----
We open air preach so that God's word can be projected.

Was Peter was wrong in Acts 2 for open air preaching?

Is the scripture in Isaiah 58 wrong? Where it says "Raise thy voice like a trumpet and shew my people their transgressions"

Was Paul wrong in Acts 17?

Most of the people that Paul preached to scoffed & ignored what Paul was saying.

We don't cause people to reject God. Jesus said they are ALREADY condemned because they do not believe.

Jesus said they love their sin more than God (John 3:19)......And when we preach, the truth is revealed to them they they are Sinners, God Hating, and so on. Do you know how much love it takes to talk to people who hate you with the hope they'll repent?

Was Jesus wrong when he called people children of the devil in John 8:44?

Or how about when he told people that if they are not born again they will NOT inherit the kingdom of God? (John 3:3)

Jesus warned that those who don't repent, would perish (Luke 13:3-5)

Jesus warned many times about sin, hell and told wicked people to repent. So did paul, John the Baptist etc. We preach the same message, if you have a problem with that, then you have a problem with the Bible. Repent and Believe (Mark 1:15)
