I am a born again Christian and some of what i see here really makes my heart heavy.
Please, I urge you brothers, sisters! Let us stop preaching and start practicing Love. God's will is to Love one another. He wasnt just talking about other Church people!
Non Believers do NOT want to be preached at I have found. So why do we preach at them?? This is not from the spirit of God but from the will of man and the religious system. Can we not show them Christianity practiced? Why just preaching??
What would Jesus think of how we speak to others here? These are God's children, speak in love!
Why do we judge others beliefs? Others lives? Jesus said "you should not judge"
It makes me very weak, brothers!
I beg of you, practice it, dont preach it! See how you feel for one week, if its worse, go back to your old ways! your spirit will awake!
Stay away from questions instigating fights. Let them squabble amongst themselves!
I BEG YOU, this is from my heart!
Love, Davi

you have an particularly exciting concept. have been it not for the quantity of antisemitism in the NT, i could even consider you to a undeniable quantity. The solutions on your questions must be stumbled on in the e book of Acts. in case you stick to Acts, we see James, brother of Jesus, as being a very Orthodox Jew residing with different Orthodox Jews. all of us comprehend that he grew to become into the chief of the Messianic Sect from the death of Jesus till his own death. then you definately've Paul, the nemesis. He leads the Messianic group right into a format the place they, or a minimum of the hot converts, do not stay as Jews. not in basic terms that yet he and his followers look to hate Jews. as a result we detect antisemitism in many the church fathers (the two Latin and Greek) besides in the books of the NT that have been written in the 2d century, after all the Messianic Jews have been long previous. so some distance as ideals in Messiahs, there have been numerous in the process the final 2000 years. as long because of the fact the believer acted like a common Jew, no person appeared to innovations too lots. on condition that and whilst they began following extraordinary practices did they get the boot.

Love is guiding with His truth, not pretending God isn't wrathful as well.
I understand the premise of your statements and you have some good points. I personally would rather lovingly tell someone the truth and be hated, than pat them on the back and say everything will be o.k., knowing full well what awaits them is eternal torment.
As far as judging is concerned, Do you believe the Bible is the word of God? Repeating what God says will happen isn't judging. It is truth.
Furthermore, Do you not know that God loves whom He loves and hates whom he hates? He knows whom He has chosen. It is God's decision on whether He reveals His truth or not. Christians cannot drive anyone away from Christianity nor can they convert anyone to it. It is God who sends the Holy Spirit so we/they might know truth.
I can tell by your words that you mean well. I understand and feel what you are saying, but let's not forget we have work to do. Spreading the gospel is that work, hated or not.
I will continue spreading His word. I am not ashamed of His truth. This is the meaning of love.

It is the duty of christians to spread the word.
Why would non believers come to a "religion" website if they want to avoid religion? That makes no sense.
If you don't like to go camping why would you go to a camping show?
If you don't like guns why go to a gun show?
Sheesh you are asking christians to stop acting like christians and hide their knowledge under a bushel.
The only thing christians SHOULD stop is being sarcastic to non believers......

good point. we shouldn't be rubbing it in their faces like as if we are smarter than them. God says we are to be seperate from the rest of the world not try to convince them or make them look like us.
