    You are correct here. That is exactly what we should do. Let others make up their own minds and be ready to assist if and when they need us. "Be ready to give an answer" should really be the watchword here.

    God has commanded those of us who know and love Him and are receiving the benefits of being His child, to preach the gospel to every creature so that others can benefit also.

    Everyone in the world is born in the wrong kingdom. We are all born dead in our trespasses and sins, in Satan's kingdom of darkness and cut off from God. Therefore, everyone needs the Saviour but everyone doesn't realise how to link up with Him and that's why we preach - not to upset anyone but to be loving and kind and considerate.

    I am not forcing anyone. If someone asks a question I answer as best I can. I can only tell about my own relationship. Some actually ask how they can have a relationship with God. If they ask we tell. That is not force.

    one cannot be "forced" to believe Christianity or anything else. you can kill my body but you can't change my beliefs, not even by force.

    now, if you mean why do Christians tell others the good news of Jesus Christ, permit me to explain.

    1) we are commanded to by Jesus Himself to tell the nations what He has taught us, baptizing new disciples in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

    2) if you had the greatest treasure on earth, a treasure that could save mankind, would you hide it under a bushel? certainly you would not. you would shout it from the rooftops!

    God bless you.

    christians say that jesus is son of GOD or god,, that doesnt make sence at all,,,i can proof it,,

    i believe that the creator is 1 only and he is the all knowing ,, the most powerful ,no limits to his powers, he needs nothing ,, the word "NEED" is not there for the creator ,,,

    so lets see mmmm jesus ,, he needed to eat, he needed to sleep,he needed his mother virgin mary to take care of him at birth,, jesus needed many many simple things to survive to live ,,he died anyway on the cross thats what the christians think,,, so this proves that jesus was not that powerful,he can never be GOD,,

    they say jesus is son of GOD because he has only a mother,,well what about ADAM he is created of no father no mother,, so i think adam should be considered to be a greator son of god,,,, so proof that jesus is all not a son,,

    ALLAH said in quran ' the similarity of JESUS is like of ADAM we created them from dust and said BE and it was""

    for ALLAH its easy he only says be and it simply is,,,

    the human beings have no right to call ALLAH father because he is nothing like his creation,, all what he created are nothing but his servants slave,,,but the human being have a father and mother,,, ADAM and EVE are the father and MOTHER of all mankind they are the right to be called father and mother its from adam and eve that many many human beings were born by the Grace of the the mighty ALLAH who created us

    ALLAH said in quran" they say that i am the father,, tell them then why have i caused them earthquakes floods tornado,(natures disasters),,,

    never a father would do that,, this proves that we human beings and all the other creations of ALLAH are nothing but his servants and slaves

    You have to witness. There has to be someone to spread the news. After all Christ's disciples were told to spread the news. How can someone form a relationship with someone they've never been introduced to and never known about in any way shape or form?

    I am not sure who forced you to do anything unless of course you are still referencing that one time your mother foolishly asked you to make your bed when you were a child.

  • I am of faith and my faith is a personal airtight relationship with the One Who IS God.

    I do believe in "Live and let live". Whatever means of faith one chooses to find their way, is okay with me. I believe there are many ways "Home". :D

    Peace and Blessings

    Relationship does not imply sex. Someone might have a relationship with their dog or postie.
