always "witnessing" and using Christian talking points that's so annoying?
It's always, Jesus our savior and devine keeper this...
And, we're all sinners who need God's grace so we don't all perish in eternal condemnation...
I mean, it gets so old....

I do not walk around on a daily basis witnessing to anyone. If you ask I will tell you what I know. I do not try to convince anyone. If someone has a question I will answer it or if I do not know I will certainly find the answer as soon as I can. *

well maybe because IT IS old...
some 2,000+ years old that is... (& counting)
it's probably a good thing, because God's grace (& mercy) are loooooong...
if you just fully understood what the firsthand eyewitnesses accounts were & how they endured all kinds of punishment & even died for it... maybe you can appreciate why some (not all) Christians are still witnessing (& enduring)...
if this are all man-made then let it be, it will eventually die a natural death....but if it is really from God... then maybe you can spare a few minutes of your time to "see" what the first eyewitness accounts were & find out everything that was involved in it
i am not talking about the Christian religion, nor of the dos & donts... i am talking about the reality of having lived with Christ, the way the disciples did & they sharing these eyewitness accounts... that is the heart of Christianity

The Bible says that we should not be like the scribes who think they will be heard for their many words. Many people use phrases they hear in church without knowing what it means, or because they think it makes them more holy. It is sad when a person can't make the idea of an eternal loving God sound interesting.

I don't really agree hey that's is just how some people are. I am christian and I don't go around witnessing to everyone, but when I meet people we get into the conversation about god and I tell them what I believe. That is part of christianity witnessing to the world about the goodness of god and his son Jesus Christ. By Christians witnessing to the world everyone will soon know about Jesus Christ and god our father. To some people like you it is annoying but hey that is just the way of life for us christians.

The truth really hurts don't it.
The truth shall set you free.
Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life.
I just have to be honest. God has done a huge work in me in increasing my faith and strengthening my walk with Him. All that I want is a closer walk with Him. To know Him more and to help other people know Him... I used to be a man who didn't really stand for anything... so I would fall for everything....
I know with all of my heart and all of my soul and all of my mind that God is real and that He loves me and that He loves you too!!! Do you love Him like you should? I know that I don't but I try my best and ask the Lord to help increase my faith and my love. God wishes that all will come to repentance unfortunately He won't make us repent. He might let things happen that lead to repentance from works that lead to death but there is no force in Him... just a gentile nudge... or maybe a kick in the seat of the pants. But it is all in love. Whatever hardships we as humans go through it is all so that we might just for one moment believe that we are not the center of the universe and that we were created for God by God... not so He could punish us but so that we would choose to love Him... that we would worship Him... that we would do His will here on earth... its an amazing job... I am happy to do it. Love me? Hate me? Its all for God not me.

it's true though. but what you're saying is like religious nuts and not Jesus FREAK!! which, you can judge me however, but that's what i am. and i am in fact, proud of it. sooo many people get annoyed by christians, or all religions for that matter, and that bugs me. God is first in my life, well at least i try to make it that way..i'm not perfect....
peace

perhaps. but it is no different in other religions. Each has its own fanatics, and its own "miracles" and it's own set of rules you better follow or you will burn in hell. What I don't understand about Christians is that they have forgiveness in their religion, that is what Jesus was about, Love and forgiveness, yet they insist on sticking with the old testament eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth, damnation and perdition. Perhaps they are really just Jewish people in christian clothing.

Yes, I do feel sometimes that it gets very tiresome. Sometimes I think their ultimate stratedy is just to wear you down. =) I try to remember though their right to free speech and that they believe what they are doing is something great. I exercise my free speech back about why I don't believe and they tell me I'm going to burn in hell, that is pretty offensive sometimes. Then someone like Richard Dawkins writes a book about why people don't believe and they call him a hater. They should remember free speech works both ways.

you weren't just put here to look pretty and to get lots of dates..to drive your car to the beach and flirt with cute guys.
You were put here or created....to love your father.
simple huh?
easy? NO!
You can't just believe and thats all.
You have to work for Gods love.
there is a prize he is going to hand you.....a perfect body
on a perfect earth
to enjoy forever
You have to find out what you have to do to get there.
Or you could sit around complaining about everyone who is reminding you what is the most important thing in life...actually "the meaning of life" is to worship God and do as he wills.

Why do you have a problem with just Christians? Every religion tries to impose their faith on everyone else...it's not just Christians.
And if you don't believe it or wanna hear it, don't listen, geez...
