Remember they are saying these things for a reason. Does she love you and is she worried about your 'saved' state or lack of it? If you don't know, ask her this. Ask why she feels driven to continue to bring this up. Perhaps you can have a great conversation about her answer and clear the air. People want to be understood. So truly, sincerely, ask and listen and respond. It doesn't have to change you but perhaps it will give each of you a chance to understand the other better and, at the very least, raise awareness of how easily we hurt each other, even with the best of intentions. Pray for the right words and get to it!

The first thing to say to her is; I love you and God bless you
Tell her that Jesus loves her too unconditionally, and tell her you'll keep her in your prayers.
Then after saying that have no more conversation with her, but do make sure that you pray that the Lord convicts her heart and give her no peace until she realizes that she can't live without him in her life also.
Pray this for her everyday.
You should Praise the Lord, because the bible said that you are blessed when men ridicule you because of Jesus name.
I be praying for you and your family member.
May the Lord give you the peace that this world does not know.

I wish I knew the answer to your question. I don't.
I was raised in a Lutheran family. However they were not Christians.
I was persecuted for my faith during most of my life by members of my own family. So I know what you are going thru.
No member of my immediate family was ever willing to sit down and talk with me about my relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
All you can do is pray for them and wait for them to come to you and ask you about your faith.
I finally stopped talking about it unless they brought it up.
Even after God miraculously healed two members of my family, most still don't believe and won't give God the credit for those healings. And that is so sad.
I can only suggest that you pray that God gives you Wisdom.
God Bless,
Pastor Art

It depends on what you believe and what you want to get across. You label yourself as "man who worships God," so I would say that you let her keep harassing you. You smile and be friendly. Don't let it bother you. Don't work on a snappy little come back since that doesn't go with the goal of bringing all others to God. You can gently ask her why what you believe bothers her and ask her to share her beliefs with you. Then just listen. Hopefully you can have a real conversation about what's really bothering her.

Why say anything?
Smile.
Jesus did something similar before Herod Luke 23:9.
It wasn't the first time he re-acted this way Matthew 26:63

particular denominations motivate this variety of domination over one's family individuals. in many situations, however, it flows from the husband right down to the the remainder of the family individuals and incorporates brutality (beating) and different kinds of abuse. Christianity does no longer practice actual abuse, so i'm undecided the place the practice have been given its authority interior those denominations that practice it. it somewhat is no longer astonishing which you record a girl to blame of this variety of psychological abuse, because of the fact abuse of any variety does not seem to appreciate the sexes. in my opinion, all of us who lodges to actual (or psychological) abuse to regulate others isn't exhibiting a Christ-like habit and hence isn't being a "stable" Christian.

Friend, I have had my own family turn against me, & My family all claim to be Christians, I have been a Christian over 36 yrs. The only one that stands with me is my wife. When you are being harressed, just ignore them & thank God you are not in that mess.

"We are going to have to agree to disagree".
Is essentially what I would say. My beliefs are so very different from most people in the world (very unusual upbringing) that I find myself saying this a lot. Since I feel that everyone has their own way of thinking and that no one should force their way of thinking on anyone else, I say, "We will each have to walk our own path. Please don't destroy the person that I am today by making me follow yours."

Patience is your best friend here. I can't say that the harassment will stop, but it will slow down a lot.
Sometimes it helps to have ready answers to snotty questions. At other times, it is best to say "I don't know."
