and be realistic. i dont wanna get into this whole " you don't understand the Bible" argument, because i WILL prove you i'm right!!

Galatians 1:10
"For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek

be the servant of Christ."

Why do people think that if you are a soldier of Christ this is a bad thing? I do not see the hatred that others do in your question. Am I blind or are they?

Ok "true", what I say, I say in love and peace. You need to remember that Jesus was never angry or sacrcastic when he talked to those who were lost. The ONLY incident where he got angry, was when he came into the temple and threw the tables of the money changers over and if you know your bible so well, then you have to know the context of the story. Also you need to look at the disciples and the way they shared the gospel. As for the correct context of the Gal. 1:10 you quoted, read the preceding verses as well as the ones after and you can see exactly what Paul is meaning. Paul is telling the Galatians how upset he is because some of them had backslid into believing that salvation was partially granted by their works and not by grace alone, instead of the works being the result of their faith. Remember what Peter said brother, "no scripture is for private interpretation". You must "rightly divide" the word of God as Paul wrote in 2 Tim. 2:15. Remember one other thing, it is good to be zealous, but zeal without knowledge is ignorant enthusiasm. Paul said to let everything be done in a spirit of love, that's how we know we are from Christ. John wrote, "If we say we love God and love not the brethren, then we are a liar and the truth is not in us". Finally, remember the words that Paul wrote to the Corinthians, "Examine your OWNSELVES, whether ye be in the faith,...that ye be not REPROBATES". Please consider what I say, because I care for you man. It's not about arguing and being "proven right", that's what the pharasees done to Jesus. None of the apostles and not even Jesus himself ever "argued" about anything. Peace and blessings to you man.

Truth is, this is not done in the spirit of Christ you claim to be a part of. There is nothing constructive here that will help anyone know the Lord. I do believe though a few have already converted to atheism
nice job

Maybe the truth for you is different than the truth for other people. While I personally have nothing against learning about other religions, having someone try and force their beliefs on me is not enjoyable. If people feel like you have been doing this, regardless of whether you think you have been or not, they might be inclined to react negatively. Some people have other religions and do not want to come to the Lord any more than you would want to go to their diety(s).

People like you are the reason atheist exist in the first place. Jeez dude get off your high horse and preach to the people who care about you have to say. It not your job to save the world so stop trying. If you didn't care you wouldn't be trying so hard to convince none believers. For all you know the bible could be made up and there is know way to prove or disprove it so shut up about it already.

Get over yourself. I'm sure that if you didn't care, you wouldn't be posting this quesiton. It hurts to be made fun of, but everyone is at one point or another, so learn to deal with it.

That is precisely the problem. You have imprisoned yourself in a state of hatred-filled delusion, a mental hell if you will. Your insane rantings give a bad name to those who truely follow the great teachings of Jesus...

Not taking you seriously. You are just claiming to be a Christian to start a war here. Fake and a phony if you ask me.
