Many of you have questioned my motives. Let me put it like this if I may. You will have to trust me a little though. If I do believe & know whole-heartedly that if you step out of this world without Jesus, then you will be damned. If I am to call myself a Christian & truly believe that, wouldn't I be the worse kind of human if I did not warn others. Or if there was a fire sweeping toward there houses & they needed to evacuate & I said well "Praise God I got my family out while my neighbor & his family burnt in their sleep" That would be horrible. But since I not only believe this but it has been revealed to me as infallible truth I must warn others. Do you see belief can be wrong, if I jump off the Sears Tower screaming I don’t believe in gravity will it matter? Of course not, my belief doesn't matter; the question is, is it true. My question is how can you call me inhumane or any of the other names I have been called if I truly believe this when I am worried about your eternal fate?

Being saved, has anyone ever tried to save you. What I mean is, as I have seen it people who have been saved still have people trying to save them. I appreciate the sentiment, but what is offensive about it is that your view asserts that it is the only possibility. There are many religious views in the world, all of which believe there way is the one and only. The attempt to convert in any case is an attack against someone else's belief system. They clearly do not believe that they are going to burn.

"Do not believe something simply because you have heard it. Do not believe anything simply because it has been handed down for many generations. Do not believe anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe anything simply because it is written in Holy Scriptures. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of teachers, elders, or wise men. Believe only after careful observation and analysis, when you find that it agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all. Then accept it, and live up to it."

oh dear- I think you should leave others alone to form their own opinions. It is there in the Bible- Jesus didn't rush around saying you have to believe in me or I'll crack up- he just got on with the job of being kind to people, healing them, cheering them up, drinking with his friends, and in between he revealed the kingdom mainly through his actions and not his words.
I suggest you stop harping on about the end of the world and get out there and help others in a way they can recognise- that is the gospel.
We all have free will to choose or reject- and who gave us that? God. Let him worry about the ones who don't listen.

The truth ? You can't handle the truth. In places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall! You need me on that wall! So frankly I don't give a da m what you think you're entitled to. I'd rather you just thanked me and went on your way. Otherwise, pick up a weapon, and stand opposed.

I'll be honest, you seem really frustrated. What follows is just my opinion, not a judgment, just my opinion:
Faith is a beautiful thing and if it brings you peace and you want to share that with others, that is also beautiful. However, everyone has their own path to walk. If you live a good life and are happy, those around you will want to know how you gained so much peace in your life. They will ask, and then you can share your secret. Peace to you.

I believe that what you believe is your own truth. Why do you feel the need to force others to believe what you believe? Only God knows the real truth. Let others come to Him by his calling, not yours.

I am impressed by your question. If we know the truth and hide it from others I would say we will be the most inhumane in this world. So lets proclaim it without hesitating.

... there will always be a group that disagrees with you ... no matter what you believe or what you do people are going to try to fight you over it ... stop trying to please everyone ... walk the path God has put you on and never mind the others ...
