This video was interesting, though pretty sad in a way. The end was true though, they are just excuses not to tell others.FFC wrote:Cool. I was finally able to watch it on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTyv1RwL3WM

Don't you think it would be hard to have any non-religious friends though if we were expected to preach to them. I'm sure you would eventually get one of those responses.

He wasn't calling to always preach, merely to not be afraid to share one's beliefs. In Christian circles, often we let our fears of other's reactions keep us from sharing the good news. IN the video, you see the most commonly used excuses to avoid discussing our relationship with Christ with others. And we do have good news, and if you do have good news, you share it.
Hey, after all, you're the one who wants us to discuss things and be willing to discuss. That means both Christian and non-Christian should be willing to talk about faith
Doesn't mean you get in people's faces....but it also means to we should not let our fear of rejection to define our positions.

I think the IN YOUR FACE Christians do turn away people from Christianity. I feel a more subtle method should be approached. Christians do not need to be obnoxious to be heard.
Definition of a Veteran. A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including his life." That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

Re: 8 Reasons Why I Don't Share My Faith
This is true. I think for the most part It's not Christians who stir up that anger it the message. It just rubs non believers the wrong way. It's also insulting to them to hear that there is a way that is right and it is not their way. Jesus was pretty patient and meek with the message...unless provoked by the religious leaders...and look what happened to him. I'm just saying it' really not us they hate but God.JCSx2 wrote:zoegirl wrote:Doesn't mean you get in people's faces....but it also means to we should not let our fear of rejection to define our positions.

Lol. #1 was hilarious!
