The gospels were written in 55 to 80 AD. Paul was converted to Christianity in 34 AD.
Paul strived with all his being to kill off all christians before his conversion.
Paul had this same Zeal when he was converted!!
Paul Was converted before the gospels were written.
Jesus did not necessarily say, Go ye therefore and convert the world, but Paul said this to Matthew Mark Luke and John and highly influenced them to write that Jesus said to do this.
Jesus Himself wanted people to put His words into practice, to live it - not to preach to convert.
He said follow me and my teachings. He did not say to say a sinners prayer to Me(Jesus)thus to be saved, did He ? No, he didn't!!
True Christians simply live it, without being preachy, and without judging other people.
Jesus Himself said, Judge Not!!
Never are we to judge, criticize and condemn others.
Any feedback from the religious christians and non religious is more than welcomed. Will the religious judge?
