is it such a thing to be so absorbed in god's word until your closest friend's feel you are beating them over the head with the word and when they see you coming they run away because of your preaching/ranting/raveing about the word... and yes i 'am a christian?

interesting. same thing happening with me and my ex-friend. everytime he talks to me he wants to argue my beliefs. i tell him that i believe different and i have my reasons and he ends up shoving his bible in my face... so i give him reasons i dont believe and he ends up taking off and researching while hes extremely mad at me. infact all of my friends (and his) dont even bother with him anymore cause hes constantly telling us how evil we are and we are doomed to hell. (the dude told his brother, that his brother wouldnt live past 25 cause of the end of the world, told my friend not to get caught up in the evil of computer gaming)

I don't think this is a bad thing in and of itself; however, one should learn to temper themselves when they're not around like-minded people (and even some Christians can drive other Christians nuts at times). I'm not a Christian, but I can become very absorbed in my path--and I have hardly anyone around me who would tolerate hearing about it, let alone share my excitement.

Yes. there is such a thing. If you truly want to be a friend, do not discuss personal beleifs. This is a sure fire way to piss off anyone when you tell them they are destined for a mythical eternal torture....

I my friend am a Christian also,But there is a time and place for everything,Poeple who have a poen heart and ears will listen,but you don,t try to forse your beliefs on other persons,if they ask for help,Lead them the right way but yes,I think my Ex-Brother inlaw was that way and it got to the point if poeple seen him coming in the room,They all would look for a exit out,and that was sad!So,i do agree!hollywood

GOD Laws are made of three Books: The Old Testament, The new Testament and Quran as a conclusion all originated from the middle east. How can you understand GOD LAWS with out reading GOD Conclusion?

Yes. If they are your opinion fine. But you should not force them on other people. You should respect that they dont hold the same opinions. If you do not then you can not expect them to respect your opinions. This site is full of people who ram their religion down other peoples throat (ie not respecting the fact that they may not want to hear it) and themn complaining when they get mockery and attacks instead of respect.
Don't be llike these people and I will respect you as you respect me.

I think its great that you are that interested in God's word, and I respect you for it. I think I good solution to your problem is to apologize to your friends for being to forward, and then work on toning it down a notch. But first pray and ask God to help.

God doesn't exist, it is just a human creation, a nice tale just that, Did you like it? How do you like it if your friends keep on saying that, every time they are talking with you?. Beliefs are just that beliefs and nothing more. you have the wright to have them and to expressed them, but too much is too much, others have also the wright to have their beliefs even if they are different than yours. So express your ideas but not more than other express theirs, that is tolerance, any way you can be as wrong as others.

I am either misreading your question, or you missed your calling ,to be a preacher.My Bible told me give them the message three times, if they don't listen, walk away.

Certainly, it can be too much. Would you hang around if one of your friends walked up and started shouting "Satan Rules!" while poking you with a pointy stick?
