There are times when the Holy Spirit will open the door for you to witness, other times He won't. Leading the life might ministering enough.
At my last job, I had a co-worker who did not like working at my station. I had Christian music playing thru my radio and, when he sat down at my desk, he said he could feel His presence. Let me ask you this:
How could a nonbeliever "know" it was God?
If you allow it, God will make Himself known to others.

Well...mostly because no-one has shown it to be a truth. Faith and actual evidence are two different things, and what one person has written down may be either fact or opinion. Personally, I would never let Stephen King write parts of my religion.
Then again, lets look at religion. The vast majority of the major religions, and I am NOT excluding Christianity here, proclaim that they would like peace on earth and good will to all men. Except for those that are not of the proper faith. Or are gay. Or dress differently. Or disagree. Or sin, and the definition of sin is always different. Or women, or are supposedly inferior.
Excpetions abound...individuals may be for peace and tolerance, but the church they belong for pays only face value to it. Or the church may actually promote peace and tolerance but the individuals are embroiled in interfaith strife. Catholics and Protestants have been fighting for a long time now...
Of course, there are always those that hear of the preordained fates they have been given by God, and thus any action they take is his will, so why bother with eligion? As for free will, we are told that we are free, but must choose servitude.

In no way this is a flame, but think of all the other religions in the world. Most people on earth are NOT christian. Hindu and Muslims are just as strong about their faith as you are about yours. Let others believe what they want. If Christianity is the true faith, then Christians will be saved. Other religions have worshiped false idols and other gods and will not be taken to heaven.
It is not your job to force your religion on others. Allow them a place to learn it on their own. Do not recruit or spread your religion. This just causes conflict and war. And last time I check, killing others wasnt the best way to get into heaven.

The Lambs Book of Life, Yes it is very very hard witnessing to a UNbelieving world and there are those people who claim to be christian living a un-Godly life that give true Christians a bad name we will be persecuted for his name it's not going to get any better. I would rather talk to a group of five people and one be saved then to talk to a group of five hundred and no one be saved..Many are called but few are chosen

why is it that so many people deny the mythologies of other religions and follow just one? What about all those religions that predate christianity by thousands of years and even those that are just as old as it? People "refuse the pasport" because people like you give your own religion a bad name. Other than the bible (which by the way was written by man), who is to say that that is the only way? Other's don't believe becuase they are intelligent.

Because the idea that a loving God would allow those who have a different faith from your to go to a place called hell just because they showed there love for God in a different way is silly. Think about what you are saying about God. This idea makes God appear to be some kind of a fool. God unconditionally loves us. What you are saying would be a condition. That is a contradiction.

Your 'truth' is my 'false'.
I don't beleive Jesus is anymore important than the guy next door mowing his lawn. Nor do I think Muhammad is a prophet. (Oh no, here come the riots!) I think every 'prophet' has taken a good idea and screwed it up and over. Jesus, Muhammad, yadda, yadda, yadda, all the same! 'We're right, you're wrong, we kill you, Ha! Now you beleive us!' Although Jesus didn't kill people. His beleivers did. A good demonstration of Christian kindness, those crusades..

No, witnessing is hard for you because you are pitching Jesus like a door to door salesman pitches vacuum cleaners. Try letting your life be an example and wait for others to ask you what it is in your life that you have the faith you have.

Not everyone believe in what you are preaching. I don't believe in god, hell or heaven. Is it really so hard for you to except this and let me live my life the way I want? Not everyone in the world wants to think the same way you do.

That is your opinion. Do you have any proof that your beliefs are the 'right' or only way? Your truth is nothing more than smoke and mirrors.
