Shouldn't you base every single part of your life on him read the bible all of your free time and pray. Go to church everyday. Follow every single word in the bible. Use any means necessary to spread your religion to others. Even by forcing them in to it. After all you are saving there soul for eternity they will thank you in the next life. Shouldn't you force the government to make biblical law the only law???(after all in your mind NOT mine God's law is perfect)

I do base my life on Christ's teachings, but what you suggest is ludicrous. I could no more force someone to believe that I do than I could suddenly sprout wings and fly to the moon. And if I could do that, I wouldn't, because then that faith wouldn't mean anything to them. It's called Free Will - everyone has it, and everyone has the right to chose on their own. Some people just choose badly.

Forcing our beliefs and truth is one of the things we do not do. Freewill. As far as the rest yes every part of us should be used to serve and praise our Father,
but we need to interact and create unity. We can not do that by hiding behind doors just praying going out there and telling people about the Father
or better showing them by living a godly life....you live a good example be a good example. God Bless. Love. Amen. (believe it or not Christians do go out and have fun). Come on hon really.

No. If you believe in God, it is a personal relationship between you and God.
Do you really think God cares if you go to church or or proselytizing??Most people become hostile or resistant to someone laying their own trip or beliefs upon them. It has the opposite effect then you wish.
God is love and the way back to him is love. You can not make people believe in what you do.
All you can do is set an example by your own behavior, your own deeds and your own words. If you are sincere then others will be naturally attracted to you and your beliefs. Let God be the judge
of your own sincerity.
Whether you go to church or whatever religion you are is irrelevant. What is in your heart is all that matters.
God created man, man created religions.

A true Christian lives his life daily as a Christian.
We are not required to "force" our views upon everyone, we are commanded to "preach the word" to everyone. Not all people will accept it but they cannot be forced to do so.
We are also required to keep the laws of the land, "render unto Caeser what is Caesers". We have no biblical authority to force change on the government. We follow the laws of the land as long as they do not contradict the word of God.

I quote...you..."Shouldn't you force the government to make biblical law the only law???" NO WAY! The government should have nothing (I repeat NOTHING) to do with religion.
NOTHING should be by force.

I assume your being sarcastic here - of course you know there's a time and season for everything. God also wants me to be self sufficient and care for my family, and that means a lot of time goes to every day things like working and cooking dinner - and that's okay.

Force? No, forcing is Satan's way. Free will for all! You follow if you want and you are damned if you want. No one will be forced to follow God.

But then that is not giving everyone the freedom of choice that we were all given by God. We should be living how we say that people should live

I believe in God, but I will never base any part of my life on the Bible. Sorry, I'm not Christian.

no....the above would indicate false religions.
God does not operate that way.
