I have noticed that:
1. there are unsaved people who seek the the TRUTH of Jesus Christ but unfortunately they came across UNTRUE answers on YA!
The Kingdom of God is not about the name of church or denomination, but about these people who seek the TRUTH.
I think we should discern who seeks the TRUTH and who does not.
I know we are DEPOPULATING the Kingdom of darkness as we preach the gospel on YA!
What do you think!

What do I think? I think you're on Celestial Crack.
"Depopulating the Kingdom of Darkness"? Where do you get this stuff?
We "unsaved" aren't looking for the truth - we want people like YOU to LOOK for the truth and not just take your faith for face value. Start thinking for yourself and start researching the facts and start looking at all sides.. not just making up these stupid premises that we "unsaved" people are merely hiding something deep down looking for christ.
We're not, sorry. I know it's hard for you to grasp that we have no need for your or anyone's deity. In fact, I think we're not only the saved, we're the enlightened.

No, you're just reinforcing your self delusion.
Your beliefs are actually losing ground as the world becomes more enlightened and people begin to look for answers that are relevant to the age we live in.
The Christian model worked for a past era but it is now becoming obsolete. People are discovering true spirituality and understanding of god without the fear and control element that organised religion has always used to push them down.
Frankly, people are discovering that god is much more than that neurotic, lessor god of the bible.
Christianity like Islam cannot compete with the new spirit of enlightenment. You resent the fact that behaviours you attribute to adherence to God's so called laws, can just as easily be born of common sense and practicality. You feel persecuted by the non believing world, when in actual fact it's more pity than hostility that people feel for you as they watch you struggle against your invisible demons, afraid to shake off the veil of superstition that blinds you to the irony that is so obvious to everyone else.
You call yourselves "Saved" when it's obvious to any logical person that you were never in any danger in the first place.
You talk about truth and unsaved people, and yet the truth will save you from yourselves.
Good luck!

UNSAVED ,
what a word ,seeking the truth ,,hummm so ONLY Christians Know the truth ,I'm really not sure why any of you would think we are so addled minded that simply because some of you profess to know the truth that we all NEED your help .'
this is a discussion forum for seekers of religion AND spirituality ....that does don't mean Christan's only ,,,,,,,,i do respect different religions and thoughts ,but i don't like being treated as a child who needs direction or poor me will be LOST ....open up YOUR minds to different perspectives and possibilities .
discuss ,,,not just throw out your unwanted pity for all the UNSAVED,how ridiculous that is .
for anyone to be on this particular subject site shows an interest in things spiritual and religious ,and to say that their are UNTRUE answers well who made you judge and jury ????

I think you should re evaluate the remark about coming across UNTRUE answers.
I have read nothing but truthful answers to some of the religious questions concerning the Bible, Jesus and God.
How do you know your answers are TRUE?
Because you read it in a book that was written by someone other than who says they wrote it but you choose to believe it because you were raised that way or were brainwashed into believing it.
Remember:
There are more Believers than there are Thinkers.
But the Thinkers are gaining more and more ground each day.

I seek the truth but it is not necessarily the truth as you see it. Concerning whether or not you Christians are depopulating the kingdom of darkness on Yahoo! answers, the loudest, most strident voices on here belonging to 'Christians' would stampede a group of seekers into the darkness further.

Oh yes ! I type at many who seem to honestly seek the truth ! Then there are foolish children who wish to play with the thing's of God ! From time to time I will answer them as well, but more often not.
I will on occasion steer someone to a Church I think will be most suitable, depending on what I glean from their question, there may be a need to direct someone to a Church that I know will know how to help them. I think that is acceptable.

many are called but few are chosen. alot of people will hear the word of god and laugh or decide not to listen or to try to prove you wrong . The word is our sword and salvation our sheild . any time you preach the gospel you cant fail . it plants a seed that may one day grow but in the end its all part of gods plan which was laid out even before creation . Preach with love and respect and have no boundaries , but above all believe the words you are preaching , have faith and leave the rest to the lord :)

Atheist here. I disagree with you. I am not seeking your truth. I have made my decision. You have your belief, and I respect that. How about respecting me for mine? I am not looking to change any ones mind. A lot of christians on this site are trying to change others. Not a good idea. Most of this world is not christian. So many other religions and choices. Respect, my friend. Respect.

Only those who have been born again really seek the truth. Everyone else is just running from it.

One really cannot discern why a person is asking a particular question, but if it appears to be a seeker, we have an obligation to answer as biblically as possible. We are not responsible for the harvest, but we are called to be sowers.
It will be up to the recipient to discern the answer they get.
As for the one who leads them astray, " It is better that a millstone be tied around their neck..............."
