"it takes someone at least 7 times to process it into their brain "
In other words, it is unintelligble.

I'm sure you've heard it, seeing as people have heard and told it for over 2000 years, and parts of it are even older than that. Perhaps you could think of a way it could be told that isn't 'boring and repetitive' to you.
When it comes to spreading the Gospel, you can separate people into two groups based on their way of thinking: the Romans, who didn't even believe in the first book of the Bible, and thus don't know why they need a Savior in the first place, and the Jews, who believed in Genesis, but did not accept Jesus as the Son of God. I would conjecture that many peoples' way of thinking in the present. when it comes to rejecting the Gospel, is very similar to that of the Romans. They need to understand what happened in Genesis, because all books in the Bible have roots and references there.
When it comes to perceiving the world around us, we all start with axioms, or presuppositions. All facts are interpreted, just as the scientific method suggests. Your presuppositional bias dictates how you interpret evidence around you. This is the case for all humans. You could place every person on earth in the category of "biased". However, two contrasting beliefs cannot both be right at the same time. Are you 100% certain that you believe in the correct one? Do you know where you are going when you leave this world?

I realize that some people can not fathom how anyone could be concerned with anyone other than them-self, you are probably one of these, however a Christan, must by nature attempt to let everyone know, that there is Hope for a better tomorrow, that there is Life after this, that you will spend eturnity some where, and where is up to you. But as a Christian, we must be "about our Father's work" and that work is to share a love, that you can never understand until you experience it, and then you will understand why we keep telling you the same thing over and over and over, because like it or not, as the title Say's "it is the greatest story ever told"

Hello Mr Scapegoat...
Our Christian Story will NEVER grow old. It is the truth and whether or not you accept it determines your eternal destination.
You really need to think about the answers given to you here. I believe God is speaking through us and trying to reach you. It was no mistake you asked this question. So you are still hearing the same ol story that will never grow old.
Jesus said:
"I am the way, the truth and the life and no man can come to the father but by me"

Every Christian has their own path, and each story will be different. Each person who writes their story hopes that theirs can be a stepping stone for you toward the peace, joy, and love they find in following the teachings of Christ.
The fact that you call us by name to answer your question holds hope, for me, that you are still seeking, that you want to hear from us, despite the fact that you tell us our stories are boring and repetitive.
(Please note that some of us are embarrassed by our brothers and sisters who threaten you with eternal damnation for not understanding and interpreting the evidence of scripture and your own experiences as they have. Sometimes people who have grown up in the church still lack spiritual maturity, or are still grappling with doubts that they are ashamed to admit. I do not believe that Jesus Christ would speak to you this way.)
Blessings.

If you don't want to hear it again, why hang out with a bunch of religious people?
Christians like hearing the story over and over again.
And some who aren't Christians have heard it many times but never really paid attention, so they need to hear it again.

they're right to believe that
you've been misled by your community/media/government
into thinkin' that christianity is more widespread
than it actually is
plus, even in the midst of your christian-washed world
there are a multitude of people
who have NO knowledge of the christian bible (or jesus, etc.)
your "we" is very narrow
compared to the wideness of
reality

Oh no my friend. It is just that some Christians are naive to believe that they can persuade you because their stories are better than the other hundreds you have scoffed at. I myself am smart enough to realize that if you reject Jesus Christ I should leave you alone and talk to someone more appreciative. Trust me, I won't ever harass you.

Old? Maybe, but understood..........obviously not. Look at all the versions.
Look at all the misunderstandings perpetuated by pastors whose main interest is big church buildings and fine cars etc.
Preaching 16th century ideals and still not understanding today's meanings.
Preaching love and teaching hate.
The truth is always interesting.........................

The good Shepherd will go wherever there is one whom is lost and seeking aid....for even if there be one saved among many, the search is not in vain.
Peace be with you :)
