Christians, how do you feel about so many people heading towards the wrong path?

Question

Especially if they are following a different religion. It's even harder i think for the God to work on them to see the truth than someone who just doesn't know what to believe.

I'm looking for Christians to tell me what they think. What should I do to help them. How do you think God feels about their path.

I know people who don't agree with Christianity will disagree about the path. This question is targeted to Christians. We believe it is the truth. So let's say it is the truth. Shall we.

Answer 1

I will help those who seek it
I will not browbeat, or hold anyone down and force feed the Lord's words down anyones throat

God gave us a choice
We all have to make a choice

Answer 2

I am a Christian. In answer, it depends on what 'wrong path' they are taking. There is one God and many paths. Some are straighter, some longer and round about, but the end is the same. And our God is a loving God. If someone is on a different path than I am, God will be their guild. He will lead them by the way that is meant for them. They are His child, and they know His voice. We must not think that our path is for everyone. God works His wonders in mysterious and glorious ways.

Answer 3

ALL we can do as Christians is to pray for them, you can not hold a gun to their heads and say listen, you can not shout and rave at them for not understanding just because you think it is so simple to understand.

You must pray for them and live your life as though you are the ONLY Bible they will ever Read.

If you do that I can promise you that you will put many on the right road and the Holy Spirit will take them on the rest of the way, (but remember it is still they who must decide).

We have a simple Radio Program here in the Philippines where I am living and am a Missionary, I know thousands hear us each week, but we may never know if any of them will become Christians.

Answer 4

i in my view do not %. on Christians, Jews, Muslims or any of the like. besides the fact that, whilst i'm being at a loss for words, or "condemned to damnation" via such- i'm able to purely look after myself. possibly you experience attacked because of the fact which you're a Christian. however an identical could be reported via a Jew or Muslim, or Buddhist or Taoist. each faith is made relaxing of, and each faith is sought out, besides the fact that if it truly is via interest, perception or different such issues. i in my view have faith such assaults, unfavourable ones and stupid ones, are from people who're insecure. besides the fact that, if there's a theological communicate happening or a debate, guy up. provide up the dislike, strengthen the peace.

Answer 5

I don't think God thinks in terms of paths. Compare James 4:14
Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.

And Psalms 31:14, 15
14 But I trust in you, LORD;
I say, "You are my God."

15 My times are in your hands;
deliver me from the hands of my enemies,
from those who pursue me.

Answer 6

I guess the first thing needed is a proper burden for them that are being lost. I guess you have that burden and that is the reason you have put this question. Anyways we have to pray to God to give a burden for the unsaved and ask him to show where he specifically wants us to be, if we are somewhere where God does not intend us to be and we try everything our works will not be fruiful. Once we have that burden that should in itself make a great change in how we deal with and act with other people. Once we give importance to God and place him first our only aim will be to glorify his name and to help others know him. so we have to spread the gospel. We have to live so that we shine as lights among people who are in darkness, that they shall see the good in us and glorify our father in heaven. And then we should strive to be like Paul, earnest in the work that God has entrusted us. once we are faithful to God and his work, he himself will work in people around us. And of course when we are in tune with God it would mean that we would pray hard for the people around us and for them to be saved. Hope this has helped. God bless!
"For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of; for necessity is laid upon me; yea woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel."—1 Corinthians 9:16.

Answer 7

People are so afraid to speak of God's short comings. If God would only help the religions agree on God, there would be only one religious path to be on and religion/sectarian violence would be obsolete. People are so sick and tired of religious violence and the religions don't want to talk about it, so it continues.

Answer 8

I was attacked by a Barbara Streissand fan en route to my favorite cafe one day. That day gave me a shiver I'll never forget. I guess you can say that changed my life forever as I carried a Bible everytime I went to the groceries, went to the laundry, etc. When I see Barbara, oh, I just want to slap her and that to me is the right path.

Answer 9

We know from the scriptures that many are called, but few are chosen:

Mat 7:16 You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?
Mat 7:17 So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit.
Mat 7:18 A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit.
Mat 7:19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
Mat 7:20 Thus you will recognize them by their fruits.
Mat 7:21 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
Mat 7:22 On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?'
Mat 7:23 And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.' (ESV Translation)

So, yes, many will be found wanting at the Judgment throne of God someday. Even those who now believe they are following "one true God". Sincerity of belief in God is not important, what is important is belief in the right God, the I AM of the bible.

Answer 10

Well that depends on where they want to go whether or not they are in the right path now doesn't it?
