This application is a division of application Ser. No. 08/076,367 filed Jun. 14, 1993, pending, which in turn is a continuation of application Ser. No. 07/787,945 filed Nov. 5, 1991 and now abandoned.
The present invention relates to a method of fabricating an endodontic instrument adapted for use in performing root canal therapy on teeth, and which is characterized by high flexibility and high resistance to torsional breakage.
Root canal therapy is a well-known procedure wherein the crown of a diseased tooth is opened so as to permit the canal to be cleaned and then filled. More particularly, a series of very delicate, flexible, finger-held instruments or files are used to clean out and shape the root canal, and each file is manually rotated and reciprocated in the canal by the dentist. Files of increasingly larger diameter are used in sequence, to achieve the desired cleaning and shaping. When the canal is thus prepared, it is solidly filled with a filling material, which typically comprises a waxy, rubbery compound known as gutta percha. In one procedure, the gutta percha is positioned on an instrument called a compactor, and the coated compactor is inserted into the prepared canal and rotated and reciprocated to compact the gutta percha therein. The dentist thereafter fills the tooth above the gutta percha with a protective cement, and lastly, a crown is fitted to the tooth.
Endodontic instruments of the described type are conventionally fabricated by permanently twisting a o stainless steel rod of triangular or square cross section. The apices of the triangular or square cross section thus form cutting edges which spiral along the length of the instrument. More recently, such instruments have been produced by a machining process, and wherein a cylindrical rod of stainless steel is moved past a rotating grinding wheel, and while the rod is slowly rotated about its axis so as to impart a desired helical configuration to the ground surface and form a spiral flute on the surface. The rod is thereafter indexed and again moved past the wheel, and these steps are repeated as many times as are necessary to form the rod into a triangular or square cross section. By appropriate control of the process, helical lands may be formed between the spiral flutes as illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 4,871,312 to Heath.
It is well-known by clinicians that inadvertent errors can occasionally arise during root canal therapy as described above. These errors can include the formation of a ledge in the wall of the canal, the perforation of the canal, and a separation or fracture of the instrument. Many of these errors which occur during the therapy of a canal have a common genesis, i.e. the basic stiffness of the stainless steel instruments, particularly with the respect to the instruments of larger size. Efforts have been made to improve the flexibility of stainless steel instruments based upon different cross sectional shapes, but without significant success.
Recently, a series of comparative tests of endodontic instruments made of nickel-titanium (Nitinol) alloy and stainless steel were conducted. The results of the tests were published in an article entitled "An Initial Investigation of the Bending and the Torsional Properties of Nitinol Root Canal Files", Journal of Endodontics, Volume 14, No. 7, Jul. 1988, at pages 346-351.
The Nitinol instruments involved in the above tests were machined in accordance with the procedure and operating parameters conventionally used in the machining of stainless steel endodontic instruments. More particularly, this standard procedure involves the following parameters:
1. Feed Rate
The rod from which the instrument is to be formed is moved axially past a rotating grinding wheel at a feed rate of about ten inches per minute. The rod is slowly rotated about its axis as it is axially advanced so as to impart a helical configuration to the ground surface.
2. Depth of Cut
The depth of each cut is sufficient to remove all of the material on a given surface without over grinding a previously ground surface. For example, in the case of an instrument triangular cross-section, the rod is moved past the wheel three times, once for each surface, with about 25 percent of the diameter being removed on each cut.
3. Speed of Wheel
An aluminum oxide grinding wheel is provided which is rotated at a surface speed of about 6000 feet per minute, and the wheel has a grit size of about 220.
The above tests demonstrated that the Nitinol instruments produced by the described machining process exhibited superior flexibility and torsional properties as compared to stainless steel instruments, but the cutting edges of the instruments exhibited heavily deformed metal deposits, which rendered the instruments generally unsatisfactory for use.
It is accordingly an object of the present invention to provide a method of fabricating an endodontic instrument which is characterized by high flexibility and high resistance to torsional breakage.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a method of efficiently fabricating an endodontic instrument which is composed of a titanium alloy, such as a nickel-titanium alloy, and which exhibits high flexibility and high resistance to torsional breakage, and which is also characterized by sharp cutting edges.
The above and other objects and advantages of the present invention are achieved in the embodiments illustrated herein by the discovery that when an endodontic instrument of titanium alloy is machined under certain specific operating parameters, a totally satisfactory instrument, having high flexibility, high resistance to torsion breakage, and sharp cutting edges, may be produced. The specific operating parameters are not suggested by the known procedure for machining stainless steel instruments as summarized above, and indeed, the parameters which are effective in producing a satisfactory instrument are directly contrary to accepted practices for machining titanium alloys as presented in authoritative literature, note for example the brochure entitled "RMI Titanium", published by RMI Company of Niles, Ohio.
More particularly, the present invention involves the steps of (a) providing a cylindrical rod of metallic material which is composed of at least about 40% titanium and which has a diameter less than about 0.06 inches, and (b) axially moving the rod past a rotating grinding wheel at a feed rate of not more than about 5 inches per minute, while rotating the rod about its axis, and so that the wheel removes at least about 25% of the diameter of the rod at the point of maximum removal and forms a helical surface on the rod. The grinding wheel is rotated at a relatively slow surface speed of not more than about 3000 feet per minute, and preferably not more than about 2200 feet per minute. Also, the grinding wheel has a relatively fine grit size which is greater than about 200 grit, and preferably greater than about 220 grit. In the preferred embodiment, the rod is composed of an alloy comprising at least about 40% titanium and about 50% nickel.
It is often preferred to form the rod into a triangular or square cross sectional configuration, and in such embodiments, the rod is rotatably indexed about a rotational axis of not more than 180 degrees, and specifically either 120 degrees or 90 degrees, and step (b) is repeated so as to form a second helical surface on the rod. The indexing and grinding steps are again repeated as many times as are necessary to form the desired number of sides on the instrument.
Some of the objects and advantages of the present invention having been stated, others will appear as the description proceeds, when taken in conjunction with they accompanying drawings, in which
FIG. 1 is a cross sectional view of a tooth have two roots, with an endodontic instrument manufactured in accordance with the present invention being positioned one of the roots;
FIG. 2 is a enlarged perspective view of the lower portion of the instrument shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a transverse sectional view taken substantially along the line 3--3 of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIG. 2, but illustrating a second embodiment of the instrument;
FIG. 5 is a transverse sectional view taken substantially along the line 5--5 of FIG. 4;
FIG. 6 is a schematic side elevation view of a machining apparatus which is adapted to fabricate endodontic instrument in accordance with the present invention; and
FIG. 7 is a top plan view of the apparatus shown in FIG. 6, and illustrating certain of the steps of the fabrication process.
Referring more particularly to FIGS. 1-3, an endodontic instrument 10 is illustrated which comprises a shank 12 which is composed of a titanium alloy as further described below. The shank 12 typically has a length of about 30 mm (1.2 inches), and it includes an outer or proximate end which mounts a conventional handle 14. The portion of the shank immediately below the handle is cylindrical and has a diameter of between about 0.5 and 1.6 mm (0.02 and 0.07 inches), and this shank portion includes calibrated depth markings 15 of conventional design. The shank further includes an opposite distal or pilot end 16, and a working length 18 is defined adjacent the pilot end 16. The working length may be cylindrical as illustrated, or it may be slightly tapered toward the pilot end 16 at an included angle of about one degree. The working length 18 may have a length of about 2 mm (0.08 inches) up to the full length of the shank 12, i.e. about 30 mm (1.2 inches). However, in the illustrated embodiment, the working length 18 has a length sufficient to extend substantially the full depth of a tooth root canal as illustrated in FIG. 1, which is about 16 mm (0.63 inches). Also, the cross sectional configuration of the working length 18 is triangular and is composed of three linear surfaces 19, as best seen in FIG. 3, and so that the apices of the triangle form cutting edges.
FIGS. 4-5 illustrate a second embodiment of an endodontic instrument 10' which may be fabricated in accordance with the present invention. In this embodiment, the outer peripheral surface of the working length 18' is tapered at an included angle of about one degree, and the working length 18' includes two continuous helical flutes 21, 22 formed in the peripheral surface. The flutes have an arcuate curvature as best seen in FIG. 5, and they have a pitch so as to define helical lands 24 on the outer periphery of the instrument. An instrument of this general construction is further described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,871,312 to Heath, and pending application Serial No. 07/679,628, filed Apr. 3, 1991, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,106,298.
FIGS. 6 and 7 schematically illustrate a machining apparatus for practicing the method of the present invention. As will be further described below, the method involves a unique machining process which has been found to efficiently produce endodontic instruments of the type described, from a rod 30 composed of titanium alloy. Such alloys typically have a titanium content of at least about 40 percent. Nickel-titanium alloys are preferred, which typically consist of about 40 percent titanium and about 50 percent nickel. In one preferred specific embodiment, the alloy consists of 44 percent titanium and 56 percent nickel and no appreciable amount of other ingredients which could adversely effect the purity required for endodontic instruments.
The rod 30 from which the instrument is to be fabricated is conventionally supplied from the producer in a selected diameter, which closely conforms to the diameter of the instrument being produced. In this regard, endodontic instruments are sized in accordance with established standards, which range from a diameter at the pilot end 16 of 1.4 mm (0.062 inches--size 140) to a diameter at the pilot end 16 of 0.06 mm (0.0024 inches--size 06).
In accordance with the illustrated embodiment of the present invention, the continuous rod 30 is positioned to extend through an axial feed block 32 and an indexing block 34 of conventional well-known construction. A work holding fixture 36 is positioned to support the forward end of the rod 30 adjacent the periphery of a rotating grinding wheel 38. The two blocks 32, 34 are then advanced so that the rod 30 is axially moved past the rotating grinding wheel 36 at a slow feed rate of between about 3 to 8 inches per minute, and preferably not more than about 5 inches per minute. Concurrently with this axial movement, the indexing block 34 serves to slowly rotate the rod 30 about its axis at a controlled speed, Which causes the ground surface 19 to assume a helical configuration as described above with respect to FIGS. 2 and 3.
The rod preferably moves past the wheel only once for each ground surface 19, and thus the rod is positioned with respect to the wheel 38 such that the full depth of the cut is removed in a single pass. As best seen in FIG. 3, the wheel preferably removes at least about 25 percent of the diameter of the rod at the point of maximum removal, which is along a diameter which extends perpendicular to the surface 19 being formed.
As a further aspect of the present invention, the grinding wheel 38 is rotated at a relatively slow surface speed of not more than about 3000 feet per minute, and preferably not more than about 2200 feet per minute. Further, the wheel 38 is composed of a relatively fine grit, which is greater than about 200 and preferably about 220 grit. A wheel of the above grit size and which is fabricated from silicon carbide has been found to be very satisfactory.
To produce an instrument of the construction illustrated in FIGS. 1-3, the grinding wheel 38 is oriented to rotate about an axis generally parallel to the axis of the advancing rod 30, and the wheel 38 thus forms a generally flat surface 19. Also, by reason of the slow rotation of the rod about its axis, this flat surface assumes a helical configuration. Where the instrument is to have a tapered working length, the axis of the index block 34 is slightly inclined with respect to the rotational axis of the wheel 38, so as to provide a controlled and variable depth of cut along the working length.
When the rod 30 has advanced past the rotating wheel 38 a distance sufficient to form the first surface 19 along the desired working length on the instrument, the table 39 supporting the feed block 32, the index block 34, and the fixture 36 is moved laterally, then axially rearwardly, and then laterally back to its original position as illustrated schematically in FIG. 7. Concurrently, the rod 30 is rotatably indexed about its axis. The angular extent of this rod indexing will depend upon the number of surfaces 19 desired on the finished instrument, and where three surfaces are to be formed as seen in FIG. 3, the rod is indexed 120 degrees. The rod is then again axially advanced while being slowly rotated, and so as to form the second surface 19. The table 39 is then again moved laterally and rearwardly in the manner described above, and the rod 30 is rotatably indexed another 120 degrees. The grinding process is then repeated to form the third surface 19 of the instrument. The rod 30 may then be severed by conventional techniques, such as by axially advancing the rod and then moving the grinding wheel laterally through the rod. The severed rod is then further processed in a conventional manner to form the completed instrument as illustrated for example in FIG. 1.
As a modification of the illustrated process, the rod 30 may be initially severed into appropriate lengths, and each length may be separately mounted in a collet at the forward end of the indexing block 34, and then machined in the manner described above.
The process as described above has been found to produce instruments of consistently high quality, and at commercially acceptable production rates. Of particular significance, the process results in the formation of cutting edges at the apices of the triangular cross section, which are sharp, and substantially free of burrs and rolled edges which characterized the early instruments of titanium alloys as described above.
While an instrument of triangular cross section is illustrated in FIGS. 1-3, it will be understood that other configurations are possible. For example, the instrument could have four sides which form a square in cross section. In the embodiment of FIGS. 4-5, the working length 18' of the instrument is tapered and is composed of two helical flutes 21, 22 of arcuate configuration. To fabricate this embodiment, substantially the same procedure as described above is followed. However, the taper of the working length 18' is preferably initially formed on a separate grinding machine, and the tapered blank is then mounted on a machine as shown in FIG. 6, and the axis of the wheel 38 is oriented so that the wheel lies in a plane which follows the desired helical configuration of the flutes 21, 22. Also, the outer periphery of the wheel is curved in cross section as opposed to being flat, and so as to form the desired arcuate configuration of the flutes 21, 22. Since the instrument as illustrated has two flutes, the rod is indexed 180� between the two machining operations.
In the drawings and specification, there has been set forth preferred embodiments of the invention, and although specific terms are employed, they are used in a generic and descriptive sense only and not for purposes of limitation.

Private lessons with Chris Bradford are held at Silver Creek Sportsplex. Golf balls are provided, and clubs are also available for those who need them.
Bradford Golf Academy
Ten-year teaching veteran and PGA professional Chris Bradford analyzes his students' strengths, weaknesses, and styles of play in order to craft individualized plans for golf-game improvement. His lessons center around three core tenets of instruction: personal strengths, which help golfers make the right on-course decisions; swing knowledge, which helps them understand their own mechanics; and quality practice, which teaches players to train effectively and abstain from combining golf and foxtrot practice. V1 Pro video software captures in-lesson swings, allowing for frame-by-frame analysis and side-by-side comparisons.
100% of 18 customers recommend
"My husband was very happy that I purchased the first lesson for him. He is signing up for more lessons."
"Chris at Bradford Golf Academy is great. Easy going guy who is patient with you as you learn with him."
"I've only taken 1 lesson so far, but I like Chris' teaching methodology and his ability communicate. I'm looking forward to more lessons and improving my golf game...."
"I've only taken 1 lesson so far, but I like Chris' teaching methodology and his ability communicate. I'm looking forward to more lessons and improving my golf game. If you want to improve your game, give Bradford Golf Academy a call."

Nathan J. Johnson
|This article relies too much on references to primary sources. (March 2009)
|This biographical article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2010)
Nathan Johnson is a British martial arts instructor, researcher and author;[1] he is notable for his controversial theories on the origins of Karate and Kung Fu.
Johnson was born and continues to live in the south of England.
Johnson has researched the use of traditional kata and forms,[2] contending that many of those central to the practice of Karate and Kung Fu are not for empty-hand fighting, as is commonly believed.[3]
Johnson's research has evolved over the years and this evolution can be categorized into three periods "Chan Tao Wing Chun", "Zen Shorin Do Karate" and "Kodo Ryu Karate".
Chan Tao Wing Chun[edit]
During this period Johnson focused on the applications of the Wing Chun forms with respect to the idea that both the forms and their applications were an extension of Buddhism. Tim Crook, an ex-student of Johnson during this period, states in and that his self-published book, "The Buddhist Way of Wing Chun" (1998)[4] would not have been possible without Johnson and his Chan Tao group. This combined with the fact that Johnson holds a 4th degree black sash in Wing Chun and that Zen Shaolin Karate was published in 1994 suggests the existence of the Chan Tao group sometime prior to 1994.
Zen Shorin Do Karate[edit]
During this period Johnson focused on the applications of three karate forms Sanchin, Tensho and Naihanchi once again with respect to the idea that both the forms and their applications were an extension of Buddhism. In 1994 he published "Zen Shaolin Karate" explaining Sanchin (modified Uechi Ryu version) as a pushing hands kata and Naihanchi (modified Shōrin-ryū version) as a double hand grappling kata. In 2000 he published "Barefoot Zen" explaining Sanchin (modified Goju Ryu version) as a double hand grip escape kata, Tensho (modified Goju Ryu version) as a single hand grip escape kata and Naihanchi (modified Shōrin-ryū version) once again as a double hand grappling kata (applications differed slightly from those in Zen Shaolin Karate).
Kodo Ryu Karate[edit]
During this period Johnson re-examines the application of Sanchin (Uechi Ryu version) and examines the applications of two more Uechi Ryu kata Seisan and Sanseirui; however at this point he appears to abandon the idea of kata being an extension of Buddhism and instead adopts the idea that kata show methods of both armed and unarmed civil arrest. In 2006 he published "The Great Karate Myth" in which he re-iterates the applications presented in Barefoot Zen as well as asserting that the Uechi Ryu kata Sanchin, Seisan and Sanseirui are sai forms done without the sai. A few applications are shown but nowhere near as much detail as his previous books.
Published works[edit]
Johnson is the author of nine published books.[5] In 1994 Zen Shaolin Karate was published, which outlined his initial research into the Naihanchi kata, arguing for and showing its use as a grappling rather than a striking form. The 2000 book Barefoot Zen: The Shaolin Roots of Kung Fu and Karate furthered this work and delved into the philosophical background of the oriental martial arts, with particular attention to the apparent Buddhist and non-violent origins of the fighting arts.
In The Great Karate Myth the information on Naihanchi and Sanchin was updated, contending that Sanchin was created as a weapons form (using sai) and only a weapons form. A DVD enclosed with the book demonstrated Johnson's research conclusions clearly.
Ko-do Ryu[edit]
Johnson is the most senior instructor of the Ko-do Ryu Karate Renmei.

The VU7AG QSL cards for OQRS direct requests received until Feb 15, 2014 have all been sent out and should soon be received world-wide.
QSL preview
DXpedition of the year @ DX-World.net
VU7AG was voted the 5th most popular DXpedition in 2013. A great reward. It was an honour to be in the running with some first-class efforts to places like Wake Is. (K9W), Clipperton Is. (TX5K), Myanmar (XZ1J), Banaba Is. (T33A), Bangladesh (S21ZBB) to name a few.
We thank the DX community for their appreciation.
VU7AG is now QRT
As of Dec 10 2013, 18:29z, VU7AG went QRT
The team had a lot of fun making QSOs and providing a new one to DXers world over.
We hope you all had fun chasing the new one.
Until next time… signing off the air on behalf of the entire team
73 de Krish
Update from Agatti
The team reports that all is going well barring the internet connection which has been a real let down. Log uploads to Clublog are proving to be very tedious. All the logs are intact but not all are on the Clublog server. Seems some 30m QSOs are missing and these would be looked into. The team would be setting up the 160m top-loaded vertical today. The last of the antennas to go up would be a Spiderbeam which will be used for the third station. VU2PAI and VU3DMP join the team tomorrow. All three stations should be QRV from tomorrow afternoon, approximately 1200z onwards.
The team continues to focus on NA and alternates between working EU and NA, especially on the short path. They request co-operation from EU when they are working NA and SA which has the largest population of hams requiring VU7 for a new one. The feedback received so far has been passed on to the team and they will pay closer attention to certain band openings.
The team spent the better part of the weekend installing antennas. They now have phased verticals for 80, 40 and 30m apart from a Hexbeam, a 2el Steppir beam and Butternut verticals. They reported working NA on 40 and 75m SSB last night (which is a sign that they RTFM and got the antennas installed right…hi ). More pictures awaited whenever they are able to get a stable internet connection.

I think this is an extreme elaboration of the accusation that Jesus was a friend of drunkards and gluttons. Jesus never flinched or hesitated to declare the message of repentance.
Jesus also never flinched at telling Pharisees that they were wrong about how sinners should be treated. There is nothing in the video that says that a call to repentance would be inappropriate. But, unlike Jesus, many church members forget that love comes long before (and must be part of) such correction.
And Jesus never flinched at telling sinners "go and sin no more" either. Is the WHOLE church to be blamed for a few, as you say, Pharisees in their midst? If so it could never speak into the lives of it's people. Clearly this video had the Church in mind not a few Pharisees. Christ died for the church, we should honor it!
We should love and honor the Church. But, at the same time, we should be aware that others are looking at the Church from the outside. We need to be mindful that those "few" are the ones getting the attention of the lost. The only way to change that perception is to return good for ill. But, we will never do so if we bury our heads in the sand and ignore the problem.
I agree, the Church, being the body of believers we should let our love for one another be without hypocrisy. We should Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor; not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord not running around trying to be PC with every complaint made against brothers/sisters in the faith. Should a brother/sister act in a manner that is inappropriate toward an unbeliever we should correct him/her. And remember that we too were once lost.
Having said that, this video is no where near what you and I are saying, it is a blatant attack on the Church and it's members with a broad brush meant to shame and silence
This is just more Christian and Church bashing. I grow weary of the Christian critics who think they are :"edgy" with their insights. Enough please.
Sounded more like modern-day Pharisee bashing to me. There is nothing "edgy" about their insights. To deny that churches have members that treat their fellow sinners poorly would be either naive or intentionally false..
Let's face it the easiest group and institution to go after is the Christian faith and His Church. I agree with you there is nothing edgy about the video.
This video is CRAP! This video harps on what an un-regenerated, unborn again person "resents". In other words this group that the narrator is speaking of is a groups that despises and resents any form of authority. And lets face it, when people come into a bible believing church there is the expectation of CHANGE! How is it that we preach a Jesus that will change you but still tell you there is nothing wrong with you? How can we teach regeneration and allow you to remain the same? This group hates to be told to repent, put away, forsake, be like Christ which are all of the instructions in the New Testament epistles. I reject the thought that churches are unloving and mean because they instruct and advocate godliness. Not all churches fight about foolishness. They fight for the causes of Christ. Sadly, the sedition within the church has caused the church to look like the world just to fill seats and accomodate the need to feel significant.
This guy is doing what the liberals are doing to America, they keep saying negative things about our country, some of them are true but, they harp on the exception to the rule causing people to hate our system of government, which is the only way to over through it and get us to embrace socialism. Our system is the first system in the world that hated and ended slavery, gave poor people a chance to climb out of poverty and decide there own destiny, I feel like alot of these guys hate the church and really just want to destroy it's foundations and they keep attacking people who preach repentance and right living and dying to self. If you can get the preaching of repentance out of the church it's dead. If you want to destroy something, feel it with leaders who tare it down repeatedly and make the believers start to hate and doubt it's teachings and they will leave and go were sin is celebrated. I know 1000's of christians and only a hand full of real angry pharisees. Enough, preach the word, if someone is preaching some added doctrine like, women can't wear pants or some such nonsense, rebuke them and specify, but this continued assault on the church and the preaching of the word, needs to stop. If someone does not like the thou shalt not of scripture, they need to stop calling themselves christians and go do something else.
I have been a soulwinner since 1988, I have lead hundreds to Christ, one on one. I am not including from the pulpit. I have only met maybe a hand full of people who even thought about church or living for God, I was raised around the church and never thought about God until I left it, I don't see anybody except victims of some type of abuse who have anything against the church, and most people who talk bad about the church, have gotten it from a video that talks bad about the church or the secular media that constantly try's to make Chrstians look bad. I have preached in gang parties and preached on repentance and had the gang members over my house for pizza and to watch pilgrims progress and they loved it by the way. We don't have to get repentance out of the gospel, it's necessary and it produces true conversions. People surrendering to Christ, rather than just adding him to there sinful lifestyle which is what religion and being a pharisee is. We just need to love them while we are preaching repentance. I started explaining to a young man recently, how we are all sinners and what sin was and and how Jesus took the punishment for it and he started crying and was truly touched by GOD. True conversion starts with conviction of sin and repentnace. We should be lead by the Spirit, sometimes I preach a hardcore repentance message and talk about hell and judgement, have lead people Christ that way and other times I talk about love, I lead a large portion of my family to Christ that way. It's time for these guys to stop bashing Christians enough, this was not as bad as some, but I have had enough Christian bashing from people who are supposed to be Christians.
I will start off by saying that what I am about to write is not easy to write. But, after reading several of the comments here, I did some soul-searching and decided that I should not remain silent.
You used the word "I" over a dozen times. You used "God", "Spirit", "Jesus" and "Christ" a total of 9 times. You reject how other people feel, tell them why they feel that way (without knowing them at all), and then tell them that you preach repentance while you love them. Jesus Himself told us that the world will hate us. And, that was before videos existed.
You say we need to be led by the spirit, but then you suggest that we preach a hardcore message about hell and judgment while ignoring that God IS love. You say that you have had enough Christian bashing from people who are supposed to be Christians in a message that you wrote that is designed to bash those Christians. And, you see nothing wrong with that.
I wonder why you are accepted by the groups you describe. It seems that you want everyone to be just like you. How does that make you any different than a gang member? The difference between a gang member and a Christian is love.
Christians were commissioned to go and make disciples. They were commissioned to teach those disciples what Jesus had taught His disciples. They were commissioned to baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. It is a very serious matter. But there is an even more serious matter.
We were not commissioned to love our neighbor. We were COMMANDED to love our neighbor. We only have two commandments as Christians. And, when you ignore either of those commandments, you are making people YOUR disciples, not Christ's disciples.
So, you should ask yourself who you are winning their souls to.
As I read your comment, the first thing that struck me was the anger. This was not a post filled with the peace of the Holy Spirit. I believe that should give you pause. If you cannot lead off with love, you probably shouldn't be preaching at all. Perhaps you should take a short break from soul-winning to do some soul-searching. I believe that your intentions are good. But, your gospel message seems to currently be in conflict with the Bible. You can't choose which parts of the gospel to present to whom.
There is only one gospel.
WOW Jim, should have followed your first instinct. Broilerroom, I believe is a brother in the faith. At least show him the same love and honor you would show an unbeliever!.
I did, Paul. My first instinct was that something needed to be said. And, you misunderstand me completely if you think I do not give the same honor and love to Broilerroom that I would a nonbeliever. I may not always express myself well in writing. But, I would gladly sit down to that cup of coffee and time of fellowship with him. I think that we would find ourselves to be much more in agreement than disagreement about the gospel and its presentation.
Really? Your use of the "boney finger" word "You" 16 times
in your response to Broilerroom's post, appears to me you want him to be silent. In fact at the end of your response you encourage Brouilerroom to take a "pause" because he is NOT preaching the Gospel, and that what he is preaching is in conflict with the Bible! For a Christian not much harsher unloving words can be said
Wasn't John the Baptist's, whom Jesus called the greatest man on the earth, entire ministry an as you say "in your face" call to repentance, should he too have taken a "pause"? There are lots of things worse than a call to repentance; like silence!
As for your "initial instincts": You started off by saying: " …what I am about to write is not easy to write. But, after reading several of the comments here, I did some soul-searching and decided that I should not remain silent." Implying that
you initially would be silent to Brolieroom's comments but AFTER some soul searching you decided that you should not remain silent. Clearly your first instincts was to be silent.
Where's the love and honor brother?
I guess words are in the ear of the beholder. What I hear in
Broilerroom's post is a passion for the lost and what you hear is anger.
Back to the bigger point; I would recommend that you take another look at the video that prompted all our comments, listen to the narrators comments carefully to see if the narrator is speaking of a "few pharisees" or if it a sweeping indictment of the entire church body.
The narrator is speaking of the view of those who have been hurt by
those inside the churches. Those who have been injured DO view the
entire church with that lens. So, they DO indict the entire church
based on the actions of the Christians with whom they have had contact.
And, such injuries can only be overcome by love. It is important that
the entire church be aware of those injuries when they reach out to a
lost person.
In public speaking, that is known as considering
your audience. Speaking the gospel accomplishes nothing if you do not
consider the audience. And, ignoring who the person is and the baggage
that they carry does not show them the type of love that is needed to
overcome past hurts.
You see the video as a church bashing. I
see it as a reminder that nonbelievers do not have the inside
information that Christians do. They don't understand that people who
hurt do not represent the churches well. They just understand that they
have been hurt by people who DO represent the churches. And, they
remember that hurt. Everything they think about churches is colored by
those hurts. They define their relationship with churches by those
hurts. Therefore, they define their relationship with God by those
And, the narrator reminds us that those hurts are real.
Those hurts affect their interaction with us. And, those hurts MUST
affect our interaction with the injured party.
We need to stop
complaining that we are being attacked and take a step back to hear what
they are really telling us. Until we do that, we are no good to them
or to the gospel presentation.
In a perfect world, we would not
need to take such factors into consideration. But, in a perfect world,
spreading the gospel would not be necessary at all. That world is
coming. But, until the Lord returns, we need to be treating these
hurting people the way Jesus would. We need to meet their needs without
worrying about what other people say about us. And, we need to have
ears to hear what the people we are commanded to love are telling us.
Even if they use the narrator of a video to do so.
The narrator after only 56 seconds of this 5 min. video stops reporting on what this young ladies feels and moves into his own diatribe about the "arrogant, self assured and smugness" of the church body today. He is now giving his own opinion of the church body not reporting what this young lady was saying about how she was made to feel.
If you doubt this listen to the closing words of the narrator, "…it's time for the churches to be filled with such again." Clearing implying that the churches are not filled with such today.
I guess one only hears what they want to hear. When one is locked into a paradigm that the church today is unloving, arrogant, smug about who is in and who is out that how they view anything said from it's body members. For those who's minds are made up that the church today is hopelessly condemning and judgmental no words or arguments can alter their view.
With regards to your comment about the Gospel "… Speaking the gospel accomplishes nothing if you do not consider the audience" is not Biblical.
Isaiah 55:11 says "So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it."
God's word spoken through imperfect men/women will have it's intended affect.
Clearly, we will have to agree to disagree about the purpose of the narration. And, we will have to disagree as well about the difference between our words (the presentation) and God's word. While His word will always accomplish His plan for it, our words can (and, if we fail to consider the audience, will) fail to accomplish our purposes or God's.
And, you seem to know that. Otherwise, you would find a sentence like "For those who's minds are made up that the church today is hopelessly condemning and judgmental no words or arguments can alter their view." to contradict what God has said about His word.
We are not called to draw people to our churches. We are called to tell people about Jesus. The rest is up to the individual and the Holy Spirit.
Thanks Jim for a good exchange. I've never seen anyone argued into the Kingdom. May happen, but I've not seen it. Only the power of God can change hearts.
Churches are not buildings, churches are bodies of believers. It is within these "bodies of believers" that we are call to live out our lives together. To "encourage one another", to "love one another", to "help one another", to "honor one another", to "instruct one another", to "carry one another burdens", to stop passing judgment on one another" and on occasion to "admonish one another". It's hard to do these "One Anotherings" as I call them, without coming together on a regular basis. Sometimes we use buildings, sometimes our homes, sometimes a park but we should never forsake coming together.
While we may and do disagree on most of the issues we discussed, it's good to know we are still Brothers in the Lord!
In His Grace,
Always will be, Paul.
You said I suggested preaching a hardcore message about hell and reject the message of Love. So, preaching repentance is not love. Preaching repentance is the most loving and important thing we can do, those gang members let me into there circles because, I told them why I am sharing the gospel with them is because I love them and do not want them to go to hell, I used I because I was using my own life as an example, proving that you don't have to change the message to reach people. And I said in the same statement that I preached sermons on love and lead people to the Lord that way also, I wrote this because I am tired of hearing people say you have to stop preaching on hell and repentance to get people saved when it's a theme through out the bible and we are instructed to do so. My point is, as christians we are supposed to be lead by the Spirit, I had a young man throw me up against a wall when I was witnessing to him and said, " don't talk to me about Jesus, I told him, I love you and I am going to tell you about Jesus, he became one of my best friends because he understood I loved him enough to tell him the truth. It bothers me that everytime someone says repentance, some christian accuses them of ignoring God's love. I told you when I wrote the post that it angers me when people continue to say preaching on repentance or on hell is some how off, when Jesus preach frequently on it and the disciples, is Jesus off, in the book of Revelations he preaches that message to the 7 churches. There is righteous indignation and that is what I feel when I hear people attacking a legitimate expression of the Gospel. If I met you I would probably invite you to a cup of coffee and fellowship with you, but I would still ask you to please stop attacking the gospel.
You misunderstand. I am not attacking the gospel (and would never do so). It is the method in which it is presented that must be done in love. I agree that repentance must be preached. I believe that hell must be preached. But it is the in-your-face presentation of that gospel without the love accompanying the presentation that turns many lost people away from God.
It is the misrepresentation of God as an unloving, uncaring being who is just waiting to send each person to hell that nonbelievers react negatively to. And, it seemed to me that the people making such misrepresentations are the subject of this video.
I may have missed the part where the video attacked all Christians (or even all churches). It never occurred to me that there was any objection to a proper presentation of the gospel (i.e. ALL of it, not just parts of it). It is the people who leave the good news out of the gospel that seem to be under fire here. And, the video seems to have touched raw nerves (as, apparently, did my comments).
There are far too many people who call themselves Christians and have no understanding of the gospel. And, these same people often deal with others (particularly nonbelievers) in a very legalistic and non-scriptural way. As presenters of the gospel, we cannot realistically ignore that such people do exist and do have the effect that the video portrays.
You seem to see it as a call to water down the gospel. I see it as a call to put the rest of the gospel back into our gospel presentations. We may have to agree to disagree on that point.
Gospel means "good news". We need to emphasize that good news to those who have been beaten up and beaten down by Christians. In no way does that mean we should not tell them what they are being saved from. But, by and large, nonbelievers have already heard they are going to hell. (Whether they believe it or not is another matter.) They need to hear about how Jesus has paid the price so all that changes. They need to hear about grace, the grace of God.
Jesus died for them. He loves them. We should, too. And, we should let them know that Jesus loves them, and we love them. And, THAT, is the most loving thing and important thing we can do. That is why Jesus Himself commanded us to do it.
Jesus also told us that no man had greater love than to lay down his life for another. Jesus laid down His life for those you are preaching repentance and hell to. You need to tell them about that. Otherwise, your "gospel" is all bad news. And, giving just the bad news seemed to me to be what the video was really all about.
I read in a study, that only 59% of Americans believe in hell, 74% believe in heaven. I understand what your trying to say, but one of the problems, I believe we are having in America is the lack of preaching about hell, I very seldom meet people who even know about hell and even christians tell me, a loving God would not send a person to hell. We seem to be forgetting about the God of justice who will deal with the unrepentant. I have been to conferences all over the USA and have not heard one sermon on hell in about 10 years except on the radio. How can people be pushed away by something that is not being preached, which is also what I believe is at the root of Americas decline. When I was a child, I stole some money, my mom found out about it, and told me if I stole, people would not trust me and she would not be able to trust me. I did not steal again after that because I loved my mom and wanted her trust. She taught me right and wrong and price I would pay if I chose wrong, I did not want to pay that penalty, so, I stopped doing the wrong thing. When I heard I was a sinner and the penalty for my sin, eternity in hell and how my sin grieved God. I started weeping like a baby and asking God for forgiveness, I knew I was saved because I wanted to do right and I knew I was forgiven. When 74% of the people believe in heaven and 59% believe in hell, That means they have not been taught about it. The good news is that my sins are forgiven and I will go to heaven instead of hell for eternity. The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord. No, one fears God, they mock him like he has no power, I feared him when I was doing wrong and fell in love with him when I was forgiven and when bad stuff comes in my spam and I am tempted, I say no, and that is because I love him and I know he loves me enough to spank me when I'm a bad boy. Whom the Lord loves he chastens! He is a daddy who spanks his kids and a Judge, who judges the unrepentant wicked and if the world does not know that, we have not done our job. I would hate hear someone on judgment day say, Lord, no one told me I would go to hell for rejecting you. The bible says that people who don't want to repent will be offended by the gospel, should we be surprised when a unbeliever who does not want to repent, gets offended. I submit to you, that is what's supposed to happen.
WOW I cannot tell you how disappointed I am. Another video which could be used on social media to reach the lost – to soften a heart towards The Lord and once again… I cannot use it because Christians need to argue back and forth their stubborn personal opinion. So very sad that Christians person agendas get in the way of reaching the lost, hurting world. Shame Shame Shame

About Me
CONGRATULATIONS!! You just won the chance to read my profile!
My name is Nuno Jesus (JESUS yes that's my name, cool right? I also think so), I'm 30 years old and I just moved to London. I would describe my personality as shallow, conceited, arrogant prick. I can also be the most sincere, thoughtful person you meet. I believe life is all about taking chances and meeting new people, experiencing new things, and having your perceptions altered. I'd rather look back at my life and say "I can't believe I did that", rather than saying "I wish I did that" (someone said). Will you be surprised if I say I love travelling? well...I do! I also like to go out to bars, museums, restaurants, everything related with nature as beach, mountains, parks, etc. I like to have a good time wherever I am and I love to laugh and make others laugh.
I'm on here to meet people and share travel experiences. Take a chance and message me.
ICELAND- (2 - 8 February)
STOCKHOLM - (12 - 15 May)
SALZBURG, HALLSTATT, ZELL AM SEE, INNSBRUCK - (18 - 25 May)
SOUTH AMERICA - (Oct 2016 - ...)
If someone would be around that time or would like to join on my trips message me.
Since you know a lot about me tell me something really COOL about YOU for example...what's your blood type?
The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, he said:
Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money.
Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health.
And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present;
the result being that he does not live in the present or the future;
he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived."
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Because travelling is the most amazing thing in the world, AFTER ME!
I like crazy stuff, fun stuff, good stuff, nice stuff, everything with stuff, understood? besides all that stuff I also like flying, traveling, gym, photography, diving, clubbing, playing guitar, xtreme sports, movies and music.
Music, Movies, and Books
Book : The monk who sold his Ferrari
Movies : Schindler's list, Hangover, Dark Knight, The Shawshank redemption, The green mile, Edward Scissorhands, and so on and so on and so on...
Music : Mumford & Sons, Michael Jackson,...
One Amazing Thing I've Done
- When I flew a plane alone for the first time and DIDN'T CRASH.
- Camping on a desert island and watching a storm forming and some ants were eating me alive meanwhile (that wasn't that amazing, CRAZY ANTS)
- Watching a volcano in eruption (I'm still asking myself if it was a volcano)
- Swimming in a warm sea and feel the cold rain during a storm (Awesome feeling)
- Trekking star mountain for 3 days in Portugal
- Backpacking in Europe and Asia (EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME)
- Overnight in a fishing vilage in Thailand
- Overnight with the Philippines Coast Guard (Thank you Coast Guard)
- Overnight in a lighthouse in Portugal (Yeah, the westernmost extent of mainland Portugal and continental Europe, Cabo da Roca)
- Camping on the best beach I have ever been, 7 km of White sand and clear water in Koh Rong, Cambodia (maybe not the best anymore, my friend just found a half of human body there!)
