Some fallacies <strong>of</strong> Friendship <strong>Evangelism</strong> and/or Relationship <strong>Evangelism</strong>:<br />
Fallacy #1: James made an overstatement when He said that friendship with the world is enmity toward<br />
God, James 4:4; furthermore, He was not speaking <strong>of</strong> people in the world, He was speaking only <strong>of</strong><br />
materialism and capitalism.<br />
Fallacy #2: Paul was overly pious or pietistic when he discouraged being in fellowship with those who<br />
walk in darkness, 2 Cor 6:14-18<br />
Fallacy #3: There will be no pressure to participate in deeds <strong>of</strong> darkness when one seeks to establish a<br />
friendship with lost people<br />
Fallacy #4: Friendship with lost people will never result in mocking or persecution for not participating in<br />
their deeds <strong>of</strong> darkness, cf. Lot in Sodom, Gen 19:6-10<br />
Further Question for Thought<br />
1. How can non-judgmental separation from the world be followed, while keeping doors open for<br />
evangelistic relationships, à la 1 Cor 5:9-13 or 1 Cor 9:19-23?<br />
2. Is there a difference between being friendly and friendship?<br />
3. In what way is friendship developed through mutual interests and activities? And when does nonparticipation<br />
in mutual activities prohibit friendship?<br />
4. In what way are the subtle issues involved in Friendship <strong>Evangelism</strong> or Relational <strong>Evangelism</strong><br />
being discussed in Leviticus 10:10-11, the making <strong>of</strong> a distinction between the holy and unholy,<br />
between the clean and the unclean?
