Should Christians share the gospel with those who gladly want to hear it?

Question

racer,
Should we go with Jesus or should we go with what YOU say?
Jesus said:
"Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mark 16:15)"

Daniel. You're "missing" an ignorant spirit. Thanks.

john, I can understand your confusion. You just haven't found the Truth yet. Keep searching, friend.

Answer 1

Absolutely! In fact, we are commanded to be light in this dark world and to share the Gospel message with everyone who is willing to hear it!

Answer 2

We are commanded to share the Gospel – there are no excuses for not doing so (Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 1:8; 1 Peter 3:15). Always be prepared to speak of your faith (1 Peter 3:15), doing so with gentleness and respect.
Pray for wisdom in how you can minister to them (James 1:5). In addition to praying, you also need to be living a godly Christian life in front of them, so they can see the change God has made in your own life (1 Peter 3:1-2). As Saint Francis of Assisi once said, “Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary use words.”

Answer 3

Absolutely, positively!
Mark 16;15 And He said unto them"Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature."

Answer 4

Christians should sow the seed of the gospel message wherever they can and pray for God to prepare the soil of the listner's hearts and give the increase. Whether they "gladly" want to hear it doesn't matter. If they won't receive it then you shake the dust off your feet and look for a new field praying for God's mercy and that He will give them no rest until they find it in Christ.

Matthew 10:14 And if anyone will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet when you leave that house or town.

Answer 5

Absolutely not, because one persons sharing is his/her interpretation of the gospel, and may not be true, you can take ten Christians and get ten different interpretations from what the gospels meaning is, I have been a catholic for many years now and I have seen this happen over and over again.

Answer 7

yes! even to those who would not like to hear it. it is the great commissions and there are no exemptions.
Jesus said: " preach it to every creature..."

Answer 8

That is the plan, yes.
I guess that would leave out many who come here, though. They come to a forum titled 'Religion and spirituality, but don't want to hear about it., but attack, belittle, and ridicule instead.
Can't figure that out.
Am I missing something?

Answer 9

sure. if they know what they're talking about and the other person really wants to know. i just don't believe they should go out and preach.

Answer 10

If someone wants to hear it, by all means share it.
