Jesus didn't try to convert the pharohsees(forgive my spelling) and He told His disciples to leave any place where their teaching was not excepted.

Thanks to every one who gave hyonest answers. but the question was about sharing your faith with people who don't want to hear it. I want to tell the world but really am afraid that pushing my beliefs will simply push people away.any way thank you.

I don't. If someone chooses not to listen, I move on. It's always up to the individual. But at least they can't say they weren't warned.

As a J.W., we try hardest of all.
Because of
(Matthew 28:19-20) Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, 20Â teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded YOU. And, look! I am with YOU all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.”
It is an order from God.
(2 Timothy 3:16-17) All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, 17Â that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work.

I'm an Atheist. I have to say it does seem to be certain denominations. I have never had a Catholic, Lutheran, or an Episcopalian come knocking on my door. It is the Evangelicals and LDS that really come looking for followers.
We feel your warning us is extremely arrogant, and you are attempting to convert us.

Jesus taught us to make disciples and baptize them. but they must be taught first. he commanded us to go from house to house and door to door, just as he did. you wouldn't be a Christian if you didn't. It shows love for your neighbor. It's the single most selfless thing you can do for your fellow man. And what a priviledge to be able to do this work.
While some put their trust and loyalties with mankind, some realize that the only true kingom is God's Kingdom. Man is allowed to try, though. How's that government doing, anyway?

Not trying to 'convert' anyone..is it a crime to answer questions? Why are you spending so much time asking questions to people you want nothing to do with what they say....why don't you ignore them and 'live and let live' and answer questions that you do want to take seriously what they say..I mean isn't that what genuine people are here to fdo..ask serious questions? However I think a lot want to disrupt is all.

The Bible says that the time is nigh. The end is near. And people must be sure of their eternity. Only God will assure you of eternity. Believe. He loves you and longs to give you a much more blessed life.

If the innocent & ignorant child does not drink the medicine willingly, the father coaxes & cajoles it to do so, knowing its benefits.

I don't try to "convert" anyone, I speak of my Lord when others ask, and never push anyone to do anything.
