Uuh??? Christians and Atheist misunderstood my last question.?
Uuh, I think Atheist and Christians misunderstood my question... As for conversion and what not we should still do it but in Spirit and in truth.. We have to be lead.. The bible says to be an example with your life, and use words if neccesary... I was simply saying we don't need to have arguments... I wasn't saying an intelligent debate was bad.. Petty arguments are. Which most people on this site aren't looking for..
Sorry I met which most people are here to have.. Which is petty arguments.. And @ Ashley.. yes I'm a true Christian... But I'm sorry if it seemed like I was trying to sound better or anything.. But I wasn't I'm a just person still learning..
@Alex.. that's your opinion and I respect that... But to say the you can't have an.intelligent convo because someone believes in God is illogical thinking... Hows about you actually go and met some intelligent Christians.
@ ROBERTA, Yep I gave some great thought.. In fact thinking too much is my downfall..
@ Football I totally agree man...
Lol.. @ Alex... No I don't follow every single little thing that the bible says.. We follow The ten commandments from the old testament, and Jesus' words in the New Testament.. and how is the bible barbaric because of a few supernatural things.. I agree Christianity is not logical to unbelievers.. Most of least.. It's foolish and faith worthy.. But I'd rather be a fool for.God than be wise for fools.
@ Karl you're right... Thank you.. We should go by what God put inaide us instead going by what we think we have..

We ought not argue, fight or push Jesus. The bible tells us to tell of Jesus then let them decide and if they reject us and Jesus then we are to wipe our feet off as testimony against them denying us and Jesus.
No fighting, arguing or proof required in that.
And not all are called to do this. Jesus only picked twelve Apostles out of all that lived to do it, not everyone just those called as Jesus walked and called them it is so with us as well. If we are not called by Jesus we do it alone and against Jesus like so many today do in this world shoving non believers away from Jesus.
bless you.
Matthew 10:14
And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
Mark 6:11
And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
Luke 9:5
And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
We are not all called to preach or teach. We all have a different spiritual gift, seek and find it and glorify God/Jesus by using it. And pray for them. If God wants you to preach to then he will get them ready for it, but this is most likely not your calling/gift.
So live your life glorifying God/Jesus with your gift and pray for others and let Jesus handle those things. Too many try to preach and/or teach when this is not their spiritual gift and doing this makes Jesus look bad. So let us all glorify God/Jesus by using our spiritual gift(s). Look them up and pray that Jesus reveals yours to you. Then do just it to glorify God/Jesus.
Many go outside their gift and this is against Jesus' teachings. If your gift is administration then glorify God/Jesus with it. If we all are the feet, who speaks? if we all speak, who walks? Jesus says we all have different gifts. And we are to use them to glorify God/Jesus with only them.
And tell other Christians this, too many try to do too much. And make Jesus look bad in trying to do things they are not called/gifted to do.
The scripture with all this in it is and it is long so I did not include it: 1 Corinthians 12:1-31
bless you.

How can you have an intelligent debate with a christian that believes in creationism and god?
I thought this was an answer forum not a discussin board?
People already follow their government good or bad, why should they follow a religion?
Christianity does not promote spirit and truth. I would say some sects of Buddhism do a better job at it.
I know very smart christians. The problem is their faith cannot be explained using logic and reason. As such, it is impossible to debate a person about their beliefs because they will always say they are right.
Another question since you said your a true christian. Do you really follow the everything the bible says? I am truly skeptical if I am to believe you grab a snake and drink its poison to prove your faith to god. Your book is very barbaric.

consistent with hazard you need to redirect this question to "some Christians," or "Christians against Pagans and Atheists." I as a Christian, would desire to CARE much less some pagan rally, Atheist rally, "Chronicles of Nardia," or the different ingredient else for that remember(i in my view like the Chronicles of Nardia). next time, you experience some thing like which you need to have the nerve to physique of suggestions those people who're available actively protesting you rather of drawing near Y/A complaining approximately it, for the reason which you're no longer getting something carried out right here. You people spend too plenty time on right here asking Christians why do you try this, why do you try this. If i'm getting disrespected through an Atheist or Pagan concerning my perception, do you think of i'll come again on Y/A complaining approximately that. No, i'll get that Atheist or that Pagan and supply up THEM suitable THERE of their tracks. drawing near Y/A will accomplish definitely no longer something. via fact this extremely isnt a query yet extra of an insult to all Christians, for the reason which you're associating all Christians with those protests, and that i for one, has never performed certainly one of those ingredient. there is too many actual issues to be annoying approximately, to be annoying approximately issues which you cant exchange. Protesting never differences something whilst concerning love and ideology. All protesting does is cause them to extra of what they're, and motives them to have a destructive view of the protester (that's probably why you wrote this). in spite of the undeniable fact that, I say sorry on behalf of the Christians who would have indignant you. yet ALOT of Christians think of they'd desire to shove Jesus Christ down your throat whilst Jesus never tells us to do such issues. yet Please, supply up the prepare in its tracks, dont enable it run you over and then pass complaining to different trains and accusing them for some thing one prepare did. via fact there are alot of trains wearing the same call, who would have politey stopped whilst they observed you on the tracks. Get my waft?
