Everybody knows there are Fords and Chevys...why advertise.
Everybody knows smoking may kill you... why remind people?
Everybody knows exercise is good for you... why promote the lifestyle?
Everybody has heard of Christ...why witness to others?
Because Jesus told us to...He further offered us His example. And no...not everybody has heard of Christ. And many that have heard of Christ don't know Christ.
Being fishers of men is an analogy Jesus gave to Christians... and anyone else that may come to follow Him. In that line of thought, I used the word bait. We don't really need bait... but some people have been disenchanted by those that proclaim to be Christians, when in fact they are not... not in the teachings of Jesus Christ.
As such, we offer people an opportunity to re-examine who Chritians are.... again, it may be a function, an activity, a meal, a social gathering. Some do come and some decline. That is their choice.

I couldn't agree with you more by what you have just said...now see, we do agree on some things... faith is personal, I have nothing to do with the decisions you anyone else makes...and we do have freedom of speech.
Oh, by the way...our church is having a BBQ chicken dinner next week...and home-made ice cream... You are invited. Hope to see you there.

That's cool bogomil man... maybe I can put some baked beans, slaw, and new red potatoes on dry ice and over night it to ya. Maybe even some banana pudding... do you guys have banana pudding in Europe? I know they don't have pimento cheese up in New Jersey...so I guess they don't have banana pudding in Europe...
Heck, if I couldn't get banana pudding..I don't suppose I'd believe in God either.
