Do you think that if a person really understood what you believe that they would convert to your belief system

Answer 1

Well that would be their choice. I have no interest in making people believe as I do. My beliefs are for myself and myself only because no matter what religion you are (or aren't), one tailors their belief to themselves whether they realize it or not.

Answer 2

Dear Pablito,

Let me say this, one can become a member of a group by following the initiation procedure(s) or process. Examples would be the Boy Scouts, VFW, bird watchers, school band, etc. To become a member of a church is the same. However, no one can see another person's soul, so we do not know if that person is really a child of God or not. One can memorize alot of things but that does not make him/her a child of God (saved).
I think you can understand my point with the men who hijacked the planes on 9-11. They dressed like pilots and had knowledge to fly a plane, but they were not interested in the safety and well being of their passengers! I am also sure that you heard of the man who had a MD license but sexually molested and raped several of his patients. That man had all the outward proofs of being an MD, but he was not a physician that care about the health and well being of his patients!
That is what is going on in the "christian" churches. People may say alot of nice things but we cannot see their heart. They may hold to the principles of the church while church is going on but what about the rest of the week? And so it is with your question. They may understand and follow your belief system when you see them but what about when they are alone? And I must say that all religions are false except Christianity. The Bible is God's word. But many do not understand it because they have never been redeemed (born again). Did you play any role in your birth? Did you tell your mother when you wanted to be born, and what hair color you wnated, and what height you wanted to be? You had no influence on any of these things--they were all determined aprt from you. So it is whith being a child of God. The Lord is the only One that can give you eternal life! But He is Sovereign in all this. "For many are called, but few are chosen."

Answer 3

Let me put it to you this way. You are four years old. I sit down and attempt to teach you about Einstein's Theory of Relativity. Are you going to understand given the limited development of your four year old brain? No. Of course not. This same analogy can be used to try and explain believers. They cannot or will not understand. Why?

Anyone who believes in a faith-based spiritual path, no matter what that spiritual path might be, will not be able to understand, accept or convert to your faith-based path because it differs from theirs. We are talking about "faith" here. The ability of someone to believe that something is true even though they are unable to provide proof of its validity. The same thing can be said for someone of faith trying to explain their faith to a non believer. Again. They are unable to provide proof. So if I turn that around and have a non believer try and convert a believer, we still have this obstacle known as "faith."

The bottom line? This is a revolving door argument. All you will do is go round and round and get nowhere.

Answer 4

Definitely

Answer 5

No. Not necessarily. Some people like their own ways and do not want to turn from them, even if you prove to them you're right, or that you believe you are right, depends, of course, on what you believe. I have personally seen this happen plenty of times.

Answer 6

Why would anyone believe anything different than that? If someone thought others would not believe it if they understood it, it's probably because they don't believe it themselves.

Answer 7

no. you have to be really dedicated to convert to judaism, since there are so many laws to follow. most people dont want to spend so much energy on their religion, especially since judaism does not demand that nonjews convert or go to hell or whatever, so there really is no motivation to convert.

Answer 8

If a person understood what I know, they would get on their knees and ask Christ for mercy.

Answer 9

no, i do not.

i have studied many religions. i understand christianity, and buddahist, and Levayen Satanism, and Demonology, and I am currently studying Islam.

However, I am and will always remain Pagan. I understand all of these religions, but they are not for me. i study them simply because when in the company of people of other faiths i can know their customs and go out of my way so as not to disrespect their ways.

Answer 10

Yes.
