Please find that taught in the Bible by Christ or the apostles for me if you will?
Its not that I want to offend anyone, it is just that by standing for truth and doing as Scripture clearly commands in Ephesians 5 - exposing the unfruitful deeds of darkness - people become offended.
Our job is to stand for truth. It is His (Yahweh's) job to save them.

The fact is by loving God and Jesus the world will despise you. I would call the bible offensive, and as a Christian I would be proud to say so. If people are offended by the Bible, then there is something in their life that needs to be made pure again.

Well sometimes God's will can get really hard or just hard t understand, but it will work no matter what. Like Israel and Lebanon, they say it's World-War3. And everyone's all excited about the Messiah coming back! But in a way it's good and in the other way it's not good. Because when Jesus Christ comes back, that means it's all over, there is no more time to get people saved! And all of the Christians will be taken away to Heaven, but what about all of the Anti-Christ? They don't have another chance. So I just want to encourage everyone to get people saved before the Messiah comes. In the bible it says that a guy will come and he will be known as the Peace-Maker. And everyone will fall for it! Even Christians, and suddenly they will go for the Anti-Christ, because they will think that they're going for the right God, but they're not. And then you know what they do in China? They kill all of the Christians, soon the whole world will be doing that! Everywhere christians will be De-headed! But don't let that fool you, after that you will have the greatest times of your life! You will be in Heaven. So stand your ground in Christianity! Because it is true. And then after that the greatest war of all time will come! It's called the War of Armageddon. So Christians, stand you ground in what you believe in! Because God is coming, soon.

The Bible will always offend those in Darkness and Rebellion. The Carnal Mind will never be able to understand Spiritual Truth.
It takes The Holy Spirit to open our Spiritual eyes to the fact that each of us are Lost and in desperate need of a Savior--Jesus Christ.

The Bible says that one who is truly enlightened cannot be offended. So if you are offended by anything then you know nothing of Truth. A wise man takes criticism with a humble smile and sees if the criticism holds any weight so that he may better himself, while a fool gets offended by it.

The word "bible" isn't even in the bible. Most people don't become offended till they have a "shadow" following them around telling them EVERYTHING they do wrong... as if God died and left them in charge. That's when people get offended. Sharing your Religious Opinion doesn't offend, because most people have their own opinions about it as well.

For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. - Romans 3:3-4.
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth. Romans 1:16a

Speak the truth as you perceive the truth--that is your right,--but try to remember that what you believe to be truth may not be what your neighbor believes. Show him the same respect you expect from him. He has a right to hold and share the truth as he perceives it, too.

Jesus also says:
Do not judge so that you will not be judged. For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you.
Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, "Let me take the speck out of your eye," and behold, the log is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.
Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
Matthew 7

Too many chriistians take the wrong approach and ultimately sin by their tactics. I agree with your statements. State the truth and don't slam others for their beliefs.

From the Christians I know --they have explained that once someone is aware of god/jesus etc., your requirement is fulfilled. Constantly pushing your beliefs on others who do not believe does just that: pushes them. Usually further away.
