The first problem is that he seemed almost incapable of letting anyone else get in a word. That is a telltale sign of a man who is not used to not having an influential authority over others.
The second problem, notice his body language. He was in your faces, with his finger in your faces, putting his hands up in your faces to silence you, even though you guys were listening to him. That's major red flags right there of a con artist, that's all about preeminence.
Maybe I missed it, but you didn't tell him he was a drunk; I thought you just said that drunkards don't love anyone but themselves, and he took great offense to that, likely because he was with his children, and his children know that he gets drunk. (I'm guessing at who the other two people were who were with him; seemed like his children.)
We haven't even gotten to Scripture yet, and there's already a lot of problems. At the start, he asked what Galatians says, and I would have taken him right to 3:24, which says that a man is brought to Christ by the hearing of the law.
Then he denies being prideful, when he won't let you guys get two words out of your mouth. HA HA HA HA!!
I went back to get the quote, and you said "
Drunk people don't love anyone but their own flesh."
You NEVER called him a drunk, but he got prideful and didn't listen.
Great preaching, and great job continuing to preach despite the distractions. I'm terrible about distractions, so it was very impressive to me. But what was mind boggling is that this guy just kept arguing and arguing and arguing, and yet, he claims he's not prideful... HAHAHA!!
I'm laughing so hard right now... at 22:00 min, his wife was telling him, "alright, let's go," hahaha!! He was so prideful, his wife had to try to shake him back into reality.
You were right, he was ashamed of himself, which is why he wouldn't leave. Oh, his daughter's face... 22:31... she did NOT want to be there for that, and her mom is looking back at her with the same face, that's saying, "
*sigh*--that's your dad."
You answered him well on 2Co 7, but he just came up with this excuse that they were trying to keep the law. If they had been trying to keep the law, then Paul would have addressed them on that problem and NOT their sin because they would not have sinned in the manner which they did.
This guy was SO desperate to justify himself, and I bet it is on one of two things (or both).
1. He drinks, and he wanted to justify that.
2. He was not willing to stand on a street corner and preach to people, and you embarrassed him in front of his family.
So it's either drunkenness, or pride, or both. Personally, I think its both, but we'll never know. The devil always like to send his ministers to distract you guys from what you're doing.
