Default Re: "The Ministry of the age."

If we are talking about how to respond generally (not addressing specifics of the actual topic), the first thing I would do is just ask some questions:

1. What do you mean by that?
2. Can you explain a little more?
3. Can you give me some examples?
4. Why is there no way for xyz to happen without Lee's ministry?

Things like that. Don't let anyone make a claim without supporting it. The burden of proof is on the person making absolute claims like that.

Asking questions like that does a few things:

1. Shows you are interested in respectful dialogue.
2. Forces the person to back up their statement.
3. Forces them to actually think about what they are saying.
4. Gives you more information as to where they are coming from.

Trying to break down a general claim like that is hard because there is a lot behind their ingrained viewpoint. It's certainly possible, but it requires a lot of building on top of things that would just take time. If they can provide specifics as to why they believe it, then it gives you something to actually address.

If you have any specifics you have been told that you can post here, that would help with specific ministry and Word-related responses for how to address their viewpoint.
