how about instead of possibly risking someones anger and turn off to the christian life, you stay quiet and just pray... trying to tell someone to be christian and bombarding them with information gets you nowhere but in a huge rant war, you should just pray... and God will take care of the rest.. and when a person wants to know things, answer their questions to the best of your ability.... don't push it on them, have faith in OGd that He will show them the way when the time is right.... all in GOd's time my friend in Christ, all in God's good time

Here is an exerpt from a site that I have included that pertains to Jesus Christ and what we must do to be saved. I think you will enjoy the serious thought it envokes.
Jesus was traveling about through Jerusalem when a certain man asked him, "Lord are those who are being saved few?"
Jesus said: "Exert yourselves vigorously to get in through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will seek to get in but will not be able."—Luke 13:23, 24.
Thus, "accepting Christ" involves far more than just accepting the blessings that Jesus' superlative sacrifice offers. Obedience is required. The apostle Peter says that judgment starts "with the house of God," and adds: "Now if it starts first with us, what will the end be of those who are not obedient to the good news of God?" (1 Peter 4:17) So we must do more than simply hear and believe. The Bible says that we must "become doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving [ourselves] with false
reasoning."—James 1:22.
http://www.watchtower.org/library/w/1996/2/1/article_02.htm
It goes without saying that it is thorough Jesus ransom sacrifice that we have this oportunity to be saved and have forgiveness of sins. It is through him and him alone that we have this privilage. It is only right that we show him by our actions and how we live our life that we appreciate him and what our heavenly father has done for us.

Personally, I believe that people SHOULDN'T find christ. I was baptized as a catholic but did not recieve confirmation although I recieved a jesuit high school education. I believe people should find their own meaning in life instead of relying on the church. Religion was invented because man needed purpose. It made so many people's lives easier because they thought that if they only believed in christ/god and if they went to church or gave the church money, that they would be rewarded with eternal ecstasy. It's harder to be an atheist/agnostic because you KNOW that when you DIE you're GONE. It's harder because you need to SEARCH and FIND your own true meaning, the reasone you are alive. It makes you stronger, more intelligent, and more independent than just simply doing what everybody else does.

Believe in Jesus is a cornerstone of Christan Faith. No one will get to the Father except through me. Believe will bring about many blessings, giving to others through tithes and acts will bring about more. I know it seems like there are exceptions to this ! I'm known as comfortable, have a great life, but still Fear God and believe Jesus is our Savior. I don't think I would be as well off and happy if I didn't believe this !

the reason people should believe in Christ because it is the only thing that makes any sense, first life can't be an accident, life is too comlicated for it to be, second, after you asstablish the fact that God is real, which God will you serve; a god that requires rituals but does not give a gauranity of eternal life (i.e. incarnation, 144,000 redemed, must die and kill infedals at the same time, etc.) or a God that died for you and gives an absolute guaranity of salvation and eternal life (fellow Jesus Christ).

The life you are living is just one of many that you will go through in the process of becoming one with the universe. Just be as good a person as you can be and don't worry about what that person up on the pulpit is saying and everything will work out.

It is a sin to force someone to change their minds. When you say "We may help and reach someone...", you may be harming them more than you expect. Just because someone does not convert over to Christ does not make them a bad person; they just have diffrent beliefs than you do.
Blessed Be.

LOL to be honest i think we should all raise i kids christian only because they have good morals but When looking at the religion its self no one should be a christian But i think people should believe in god. people get into this funk that you got to be christian to believe in god you DON'T but being christian makes you naive you believe that the guy sitting next to you wont rip you off and steal you house but alot of people that Are get ripped off. It's good to keep up morals but as far as a way of life it falters in so many ways

It's because he changes lives. If someone looks up atheists who have had miracles change their life just by praying to GOD one time!!! They are even more faithful then some Christians who have been christian their whole life.
