how can i start a conversation with some one about god?

Question

one of my friends is a boy and i just recently heard that he didnt know where he was going and if he wanted to do anything about it and he didnt go up. how can i talk to him about it

Answer 1

if you really care about him as a friend , just say how happy you are to be christian right now with everything happening like it is, and how scary it must be to him, he not being saved and all..and just give your testimony...and if you want a conversation started let him read this

I dreamed this 2 weeks before my father in law when in for triple by pass surgery, he was very sick, and weak, and they had given him a 50/ 50 chance of making it out of the hospital...he was in his early 70's...the doctors had been keeping and eye on a blockage he had in a artery for many years and it was getting bigger and giving him a lot of problems so they did all the scams, MRI, cat, x-rays and so on..and had this problem well documented...like I said I dreamed this 2 days before. My husband and I were young Christians at the time...about 8 months, anyway at the hospital we went in ,my husband, his sister, her pastor, and me and we gathered around his bed before he was to go in, I was holding his hand, and as we were praying, i got this feeling of calm and peace,I knew ever thing was going to be OK, well that day before we left home for the hospital, I couldn't get the dream off my mind, it was almost like angels were telling me over and over, to write it down, and it felt like a powerful urge to do so,it was driving me nuts, so I took a pad with me, and after they took him into surgery...I got comfortable with the family and started writing in a corner of the waiting room, the words flew out of my head and I was writing like I had never written before, you see I have a muscle disorder and i can't write and control my hands like I did years earlier...I wrote this in less than 25 minutes, and in less than 45 minutes they called out and said they couldn't find the blockage while they were doing the heart catherazation and his artresy were clear,and he could go home. that day
when i read what i had written ,it was a poem and I'm not a poet, and even if I was I couldn't have written it that fast. I had from the time I left home felt like i was with angels , why I don't know... well he went home that was 4 years ago and he's still doing good for an almost 80 year old man..so here's what I wrote that day, and a lot of people have read it and it has changed their life's, I claim no input for the poem other than the hand holding the pen...the words came from angels, directed by God.

THE DREAM

I DREAMED ONE NIGHT TWO ANGELS CAME TO MY BED. THEY TOOK ME TO HEAVEN I FELT I HAD NOTHING
TO DREAD. WE STOOD IN FRONT OF A BIG WHITE GATE. IT OPENED SLOWLY AS WE STOOD IN WAIT.
MANY CLOUDS BILLOWED AND SWIRLED ABOUT US AS I STOOD IN AWE OF THE SIGHTS AND SOUNDS THAT
SURROUNDED US. WHAT I SAW WORDS COULD NOT EXPRESS, I WANTED TO STAY AT THIS BEAUTIFUL ADDRESS.
THE ANGELS ALLOWED ME TO LOOK INSIDE, THE BEAUTY THE MAJESTY, MADE ME CRY.
"IT'S TRUE, IT'S ALL TRUE, I KNOW THAT IT'S TRUE" I HEARD MYSELF CRY, AS TEARS RAN STREAMING
FROM MY EYES.
I KNEW WHAT I SAW WAS NOT OF THIS EARTH,THIS CREATION WAS FOR THOSE OF THE NEW BIRTH. THE
POWER, THE BEAUTY, THE SIGHT OF IT ALL WAS SO STRONG,THAT THE ANGELS SHUT THE GATES QUICKLY
TO MY NEW HOME. "IT'S NOT YOUR TIME," I HEARD THEM SAY, " WE JUST WANTED YOU TO SEE WHAT WAS
ON THE WAY," THEY SAID "YOU WILL NOT REMEMBER WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN INSIDE THE GATE, BUT YOU WILL REMEMBER WHERE
YOU HAVE BEEN.YOU MUST TELL OTHERS ABOUT THIS DREAM. THAT GOD'S WORD IS TRUE. IT'S THE REAL THING.
GOD HAS LET YOU SEE WHAT IS YOUR REWARD IF YOU WORSHIP, LOVE HIM, AND KEEP HIS WORD."
WE ALL NEED TO REALIZE THAT IT'S REALLY TRUE. WE NEED TO GET THE LOST ONES IN IF IT'S ALL THAT WE
DO. WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME, THE END IS NEAR, AND YES, IF YOU ARE LOST YOU HAVE EVERYTHING TO FEAR.
CALL ON JESUS NOW, SO YOU CAN GO TO AND YOU'LL SEE WHAT I SAW AND YOU'LL BE EXCITED TOO.
I'LL SOON BE IN MY NEW HOME,PASS THE BIG WHITE GATES. DON'T YOU WANT TO GO THERE TOO? I JUST CAN'T
WAIT!!!!


I REALLY DREAMED THIS DREAM JUST AS IT IS WRITTEN. I FEEL IT WAS INSPIRED BY GOD AND HE GUIDED MY
THOUGHTS AND MY HAND IN PUTTING THIS TOGETHER.

I AM GIVING THIS TO YOU BECAUSE I LOVE YOU AND GOD HAS DIRECTED ME TO DO SO.
I HOPE THIS MESSAGE WILL HELP YOU TO MAKE THE BIGGEST DECISION OF YOUR LIFE
TO ACCEPT JESUS AS YOUR PERSONAL SAVIOR AND TO SERVE HIM. SO YOU, ONE DAY
WILL STAND AT THE BIG WHITE GATES AND BE INVITED IN TO STAY, FOR ETERNITY.
GOD BLESS YOU

Answer 2

If I were having a tough time in life, I would simply want a friend, not a salesman for God. Someone having a serious moral crisis needs a positive role model; whenever someone has tried to proselytize to me when I'm at a vulnerable point, I have always felt as if I were in the presence of a huckster. It is a real easy way to put him on the spot and make him feel uncomfortable. Just be a friend, and if he wants to know God, he'll ask you.

Answer 3

1. Be a good friend to him, earn the right to talk with him.
2. Listen to him, in a way that encourages him to talk. React to what he says in a non-judgmental way.
3. When he says something about not knowing, don't react right away. Take your time. Later on, you can say "You were saying you don't know .... ". "Do you believe it is possible to know? Because I do believe that". See if he shows interest, or if he hsifts the conversation away. If in doubt, you could say, in the ocntext of the ocnversation: "I came to a real conviction about that - would you like me to share with you how it happened?" And tell your personal story of faith. But do not argue. I repeat. Do not argue. It is pointless and counterproductive. Show respect, and non judgmental acceptance of him as he is. Show interest in what he has to say even if you don't agree. Listen ten times as much as you talk (and he will find you to be a fascinating conversationalist!)

Answer 4

First you pray and ask God to open his heart and mind.Then you ask the Holy Ghost to put the words in your mouth.Jesus will do the rest.
Remember 1 plants,1 waters,God gives the increase.
You are to water,gentle rain is more of a blessing then a storm.
Jesus will open the door when it is time to water.Now read the Bible,fill yourself up with the word.
God Bless,
Love Nana<><

Answer 5

Just say hey there how about we hang out sometimes? What about this weekend? We could go hang out in the Mall if you like? See you Saturday ok pal? If this don't work you just say, well you want to do something? That's about the best you can do. Unless you want to get a little too friendly for my taste.

Answer 6

What are you trying to say? First you do not approach other people to "save" them. You live your life as an example to others. When they come to you and ask why you seem so peaceful and happy, then you can tell them why. Do not push your religion on them. Trust me, this drives people away. You know how you would feel if a pushy salesman came up to you. If you are selling Jesus, you need to be even less pushy about it. And, yes, I am a Christian too.

Answer 7

Before you speak, send a short prayer to God to open your lips and Give you the words to speak...take a deap breath, and see what God will do...
Also, when you speak with your friend, make sure you speak with sincere loving friendship, not with a purpose to bible-bash Him...secondly, call on your own experiences with God, and and how good it is to know your Heavenly Father.

God bless you my friend, and may grace you with more zeal and love for the salvation of your brothers and sisters in Christ.

Answer 8

MUDBALL,

TRULY YOU HAVE THE SPIRIT OF EVANGELISM. HOWEVER, THE BEST THING TO DO IS JUST BE A FRIEND TO HIM. PEOPLE ONLY BELIEVE YOU IF THEY TRUST YOU. TRUST BEGINS IN EACH PERSON WHEN THERE IS A COMMON GROUND UPON WHICH BELIEF IS BUILT.
DO NOT EVER TRY TO GET SOMEONE TO BELIEVE EXACTLY HOW, AND WHY YOU BELIEVE. LET HIM DISCOVER THIS BLESSING BY HIMSELF. BE A FRIEND FIRST.

Answer 9

look for common interests and share how God helped you will certain aspects of those interests. Usually you can talk to people about God with no problem. When you mention Jesus it goes right to the heart.
