telling people about God

no I am not doing that on here. I only ask my friends. and yes for now I think prayer is all I can do. and I never force someone to hear about him ever. it is always there choice. always.

I’m sure God sees your effeort, and I bet that he’s pleased =] but you’ve got to understand, not everyone wants to believe! - that’s why God gave us the choice of free will, instead of trying so hard to bring them to Christ, pray for them instead! or pray for yourself so that God may use you to save others in his own ways (:

dear god…your giving Catholics and Christians a bad name everywhere… pray for yourself and leave the rest of us out of it…

not everyone wants to know about him and I hope you arent doing it here…

I dont like people trying to change others or trying to tell them there is or isnt a god… its a personal choice to believe, and it should stay personal…

you go, what you do will pay off, maybe not now but soon and very soon- I think you know what I mean keep it up

well I totally get what your saying. people believe in so many different things. but that doesnt change the truth. they choose not to believe in it and that’s fine.The point of telling people about him is to let them finally know the truth. of course I know people dont believe or I wouldnt be witnessing. telling them there going there does do nothing but telling them they have a choice of God does something.

well saying how some people are clueless really isnt helping you some people dont beleibve I god they dont beleive in heaven and they really couldnt give a damn about what religiouse people belive in there not going to waste there life or time on the subject other people beleive in other religions and other gods ones that have nothing to do with cristianity aand ones that worship something completely different so dont assume that cristianity is the only thing people want to beleive in because its not

yes there is. that just happens to be a big one becasue he saves us from there. He died from the cross for every person. that is a big thing to do. no that is not the only reason. I dont know how I would get through a day without him in me. He answers all my prayers and helps me through the big challeneges in life. He is a loving God and is alwasy there. When no one else listens he is there.

ok yes I completely understand that people don’t want to hear about him but so many need to. I will never force it on them but I am sick and tired of knowing that so many people die and aren’t in heaven with me. maybe I dont know but I am pretty sure they dont want to go to hell. God gives everyone a choice all I want to do is live a chirstian life style and peoole want to know about him then I will tell them. I wont force it on them just tell them if they ask. I just want them to be happy and if making people get aggrivated at me helps them be happy forever then its worth the risk . I can only do so much. I am not forcing it on any one of you answering this question. I only asked a question your the ones who wanted to come answer it. I dont really know what I mean. But God is who I live for.

summerjones you must take what silverwings says seriously. If you really want any help on anything the better thing to do will be to check some of the postings here from which you will be able to locate the believers like silverwings (or even me) and send them email and ask them. As Silverwings said there are mostly ignorant unbelievers here who will arrogantly tare you apart. Because these people here does not know how to discuss. All they know is to badmouth and to fight.

You’re thinking in black and white, and it’s not that simple. Many Christians see life as coming down to a choice: do I follow God, or do I not? They think either a person chooses God, or they choose to reject God. Any choice other than their brand of Christianity is rejecting God. It’s not that simple, especially when you look at the complexities and influences facing billions of people throughout the world.

Had you been raised in a different environment, your religion and way of life would be radically different. God had nothing to do with it. You can’t expect people to take you seriously, when you claim such reasoning as truth.

just remember that not everyone beleives in god or heaven and hell so saying that there going to hell does nothing, because they dont beleive in it people belive in a lot of other things that can happen when they die reincarnation, we stay here as spirits/ghosts, go to another planet, just die, ect there are many different veiws on what might happen heaven and hell sre just 2 choices in a list of hundreds of others many of which arnt related to and “god” or religion

keep up with the good work & may god bless u:) just keep praying for them & ask god to work within their hearts so that they ll want to love and know more about him:) STAY BLESSED:)

Yeah, Don’t push it. Don’t look like a bible thumper.and just wait. You can’t push them to do it.

Why does an omnipotent god need your help? Have you ever thought of it like that?

ok I understand all your replys but I never push it on people. I guess my question was stupid. but throwing at people is not smart. I understand that it is there choice always. I usaully talk to my friends aboiut it if they bring it up or we have been friends awhil. I never just blurt it out to random strangers. so some of your replys are pretty negative though I should of been more specific. as far as before it is to late, the bible says to be disciples. I just want to help people know him before its to late…as in they die and go to you know where. some people are just so clueless. the only thing I can really do is pray and live life showing others God’s love,

Truthfully, we are to do what we can to tell others about Christ. And yes there will mountains of opposition to that end. We are not called to live a comfortable life but are told and commanded to go and tell anyone who’ll listen about Christ. The best way though is to live out your faith on a daily basis to show others that your life resembles the One in which you tell them. People don’t care about how much you know until they know how much you care. Think about this statement. Keep on.

from my perspective telling people about this “god” is viewed as typical “cult” behaviour. something we can experience at “peace” rallys, airports, we can find literature in motels, etc. there are a few reasons why organized religions want someone to “witness” to others- MORE MONEY topping the list. someone telling me about a “fictional” god is the same as me telling you I saw a leprecaun stealing my dogs food this morning- most people do not want to hear about something that can not be proven. so if it were up to me- I would say keep the “god” thing to yourself- you said you never force anyone to hear it- but you do not give them the choice if you just pop in and say something about being saved- that has been my experience, christians just drop it on you, and then say “your blood will be on my hands if I don’t tell you”

I am so tired of this- I don’t want to hear it- it is not my beliefs, and I say this RESPECTFULLY- please keep it to yourself- unless approached by someone- or asked for your opinion.

yes BIGFOOT loves all of you!!

Your answer shows why a lot of people think religion is nonsense. Is there really any reason to believe in your god other than fear of hell?

you should learn to respect other people how can you ask for respect in what you beleive in if you dont respect other people for what they beleive in, or dont without respect you will get none in returne

Just don’t push it on people. I can understand you wanting to share your beliefs however many have had it constantly throne at them. I know I have. And the simply have different beliefs or don’t believe in anything and that’s okay. Study into the history of your religion and how it developed so you can have Better understanding of it.

Silverwings why is it so hard to see that there are other people that don’t believe what you believe. Religion and spirituality does not mean Christianity only. Its for all religions spiritualities even atheist. She asked and we gave our opinion just like you do. We are not evil and are not sent by the devil. We simply don’t believe in the same thing you do. Its that simple.

People need to know about him before it’s to late.

Too late for what?

By any means tell anyone about the love of God and what he did through his son Jesus. Everyone needs forgiveness whether they like it or not. God loves all of you dearly so that he sends his own Son like it or not. Its not about how good you are but just saying you are sorry. Looking back, it’s ASTOUNDING what has done in my life. God forgave us of our sins so we could be reborn again in him. God can do his work by himself but will use us because he loves you and wants to share the new world with you. I beg anyone who will listen to accept Christ as saviour or at least think twice about your own beliefs if you don’t believe in him. God bless.

Summer… welcome to the board !!! I haven’t seen you here before, so you must be new. I guess you have figured out by now, that it does not matter that the title of this section is religion/spirituality. One would think it would be a place where you could share things pertaining to these topics, however, the truth is, that the board is full of unbelievers, and they attack anything that is shared in a positive light. They care nothing of the gospel, or of God. or the bible, what they do care about is ruling this board, so that faith will not grow. They swoop down on every nugget that appears here, at least 10 to 1 ratio of unbelievers, compared to believers. If you plan on staying here, you will have to get a very tough exterior, because these guys will tear down anything you hope to build. They have been well trained, and are here to do battle… they intend to dominate the board, and run off any and all believers.

Just a heads up… so you understand what you are up against :)

God bless…
