Ido. How can we not with multi media etc. do you believe it is our calling to bring the message down to earth in practical ways?
How do you love those who hate you?......
How do you bless those who curse you?
Any input would be great. Just starting a conversation.

Now that Christianity has lost it's best argument (burning people at the stake). It's getting hard for you guys.
The problems i keep having when talking to Christians is that they don't think i already know the story. They think.."well if he just had read the Bible and went to church he would want to join our cult." You must understand that the reason people don't believe in most cases is that they have read the Bible and they do know the story, most of the time in much greater depth than Christians do.
So you need a whole new approach. You need to do things to offer evidence that Christianity is true. You should try to prove that the Bible is a good book to live by. You'll need to somehow prove that the dark ages was a better time than we live in today.
And this persecution complex is ridiculous . I hate Christianity with every fiber of my being, but i do not hate Christians. They are just innocent victims of mind control. I do everything i can to help them, the same as i would anyone in any cult.

There are untold thousands who have not heard the good news
of the peace and joy of knowing the living "CHRIST'.Telling people
on the Internet is wonderful way to start.You have all ready begun
to do it with your question. Christan love covers hate and curses.
It is not easy to be a Cristian but it is the only way to live your life
in the peace that passes all understanding.

.I believe the message is our obligation to deliver, I believe many do not understand the message God gives for us to give to the world, It is not the messenger that is hated but the message that is how we understand what we receive in response. They do not know me as the person but the spirit knows the message To be wise and with eyes open would be good to consider before delivering a message.To understand what Jesus has told us about the delivering of the word you will see, they hated him in life just as we will also be hated because we carry the truth .

If you think giving the christian message in America is difficult.. then you should pay a visit in Egypt... I'm a Christian Egyptian... Islam is ruining the country and ruining the people's mind... It orders them not to think or they'll go to hell...
But although Muslim people are stubborn , when they hear about Jesus Christ and his great love .. their lives are changed by 180 degrees...
They only need prayers and hard work..

not at all all person using the religion for their own satisfaction and avoid those part of the religion in which he think that he will lose something. we all using the religion only for our own purpose and not thinking about our prophet what kind of message he has given to us. if someone is hatting us we are hating more than that and if someone is cursing us we are shouting on him. the pieces of earth divided all the things not only religion.

No.. we haven't. The very moment we do will be the moment when judgment begins on earth, because at that point no one can say-- oh I didn't know!
It's not easy to love those that hate you when you're still concerned about their opinion. In order to love, you have to understand that you're not loving a person because of what they do, but because of who they are. God made everyone perfect. What ppl do isn't perfect, but who they are.. is. In order for ppl to realize (on earth as it is in heaven) who they are, they must see it through God. And, in order for us to realize who ppl are, we also must see it through God.
As humans, it's so easy to be reactive. To hate those who hate us. But, we can choose to see it our way or we can choose to see it God's way.
And, blessing those who curse us or use us.. well, once you start seeing your fellow brothers and sisters as God does, you'll not be threatened by their insecurities and fears (that's what causes them to curse you, because they're afraid of your power). You'll see them as hurt and as needy, and that because you see their pain, it becomes your responsibility to pray for them, and hope that they start to see things through different eyes as well.

I believe that we have preached the Gospel and now it is time to teach it through living it.
