What makes you think you can do this without offending others. You must remember, we are not here to be popular. We are here to present the truth and lead people to Christ. If something is clearly wrong and you don't say it, then are you guilty of help this man or woman sin? It is quite a dilemma.
Remember, Christ said the world will hate you if you love Christ. This is very true.
You must realize that the world presented in the bible has a physical and a spiritual aspect.
As Christians, we are unwanted immigrants trying to convince people to hate the world (the bible uses the word hate in this context) and to follow Christ.
Of course the world hates Christianity.
Like it or no, this is what is presented, mostly in the Gospel of John.

Catholics are the unique Christians. the 1st church, which Christ started grew to become into the Catholic church. For the 1st thousand years, there grew to become into only one Christian Church. In 1054, it chop up into 2 branches, the eastern Orthodox Catholic Church and the Roman Catholic Church. there have been in basic terms 2 Christian branches for yet another 500 years. In 1518, Martin Luther started a third branch, Protestantism. The third branch splintered into many denominations. you're in all probability recognizing that Catholics are no longer Protestants. the unique Christian Church continues to be Catholic. The Amish is between the numerous Protestant denominations. Jehovah Witnesses are no longer a Protestant denomination yet an offshoot of Christianity with the aid of fact they suspect Jesus is the angel Michael and not the Son of God.

As A Muslim " Non-Christian "..., We Are Not Offended by Any other religion.
Every one is Free in Following Whatever Religion He/She Wishes.
All Religion Convey the Same Message, which is Improving the Relationship between Man and His God.
Yet,
Being a good christian = being a good Jewish = Being a good Muslim = Respecting other religion thought and traditions.

Christianity is a religion of love and faith... Jesus never asked to hurt non christians and fundamentalists... These things were made up...
Love that GOD sincerely... Search for HIM, as if your are searching for a air underwater... Question yourself... Get your answers from yourself... Dont believe even what your Holy books say... believe only what you intellect can accept... contemplate on that.... Have faith in yourself... This is the Christianity, Lord Jesus said about...!
May GOd bless YOu

Just live the Scriptures. You will be setting an example of what a Christian is suppose to be. Don't point your finger at others and love them just the way they are. You don't have to agree with someone in order to be their friend. I have had people apologize to me for having a drink in my presence. See you will be witnessing by just living it!! GOOD LUCK!!

Go to the central fundamental teaching, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," and "Judge not lest ye be judged." And perhaps we should always remember that we're in this thing called life together; God didn't put us here for us to argue and fight over God concepts and imaginings. To be Christian is to take all this to heart As for "non-Christians" and "fundamentalists," perhaps we can allow them to discover their own paths as we discover ours.

You are going to offend somebody no matter what. The Bible says to separate yourself from the world, and that alone will offend most.
Speaking from experience!
Good luck, and God Bless You!

Judge not. Christ himself kept the company of tax collectors and prostitutes. When faced with someone not like you, (a non-Christian or an extreme fundamentalist) greet them with the warmth and open-ness of Christ himself. Even though others may disagree with your beliefs, they can't disagree with a really warm, positive, accepting additude.

Others taking offense is dependent on their attitude.
As long as a person does not come in the 'way of others', there should be no question of causing 'offense' in any way, irrespective of their personal beliefs !
