I love to tell gods word but there are so many non-believers on here, it's hard. I know God is the way the truth and the light.
I know he is the only way and I have an answer to all of there questions but it takes so much time to answer each one, anyone else have this problem?

I do too have a problem, and at times am unable to answer the question just so as it might offend some sensitive feelings. The truth is good, but sometimes people don't want to hear it.

Yes. Part of the reason I'm almost always at the end of the Anwsers list is that I DO take the time to give at least SOME thought to my answers. Frankly, I don't see how anyone can come up with a useful answer within the few seconds most questions are answered in.

Sister,

Find another place. My sense of discernment tells me that most of the question posers are enjoying themselves at your expense and not truly seeking knowledge. This is a forum for argument not conversion. Your slips from Standard English (and they are relatively few) only set you--and our faith--up for ridicule. Jesus never tried to argue anyone into belief. Even Paul, a more aggressive type, did much less arguing than some of our fellow Christians today. What about finding people in other areas, dating, for example, that have concerns that you could respond to out of your faith?

If this is your calling, ask God to give you discernment as to what questions to answer. Read the answers already present. Give thumbs up to the good ones and move on without adding your own response. No one person is called to do everything; beware of spiritual pride that leads you to think otherwise.

YES

I have saved a lot of questions so I can answer them later if they are still open when I get back. This take a lot of time. Not everyone will accept Jesus Christ.

The best advice I can give you is
Matthew 7:6
Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

Look for those question from people who are looking for help. These people have opened the door for instruction, understanding and help. MANY others will trample you under their feet. Be strong in the Lord and be full of the Word of God and you'll be fine. Don't pay any attention when people put you down for the Word of God.

Matthew 5:10
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Yes....but tell it anyways.

I look at it like this . . . I'm not responding to the original person asking the question . . . many of them are just picking fights (often because they've been hurt in the past, and continue to hurt), I'm responding for the people who are reading the response.

And how many times do some people need to be exposed to the truth, before they finally hear it?

The work is much, and the workers are few.

The writer Clarke postulates a future global society where religion will be considered a mental illness. Unfortunately, as of today this social phenomenon is too deeply entrenched.

However, we can take heart by remembering that at one time people believed that black cats and dogs were of the Devil, and red-haired and left-handed people were burned at the stake for being witches or evil. (Hence the word "sinister" which derives from Latin).

You cant convince someone who doesn't want to believe or listen. So many Christians believe that evangelization is the best way to preach God's word. I think the best way to show that you are loyal to your faith is to just live a happy life, love others, and tell everyone who will listen how happy you are (key: everyone who will listen). Sometimes trying to preach only causes athiests/agnostics to have even more prejudice and disdain for organized religion.

P.S. I believe in God and sometimes go to church, but I consider myself more spiritual than religious =0

Pray about it and ask GOD to lead you to the questions that non-believers may want to answer and/or read - you never know - You may help bring someone to Jesus

"Majic Man Done it" - Unfortunately that's what happens when you listen to the lies of the enemy who's on this earth roaring like a lion with NO teeth - He is here to corrupt & deceive & steal GOD's word from your heart and get you to turn away from GOD - But we all have been Redeemed - Redeemed from the curse of the law, redeemed from destruction, death, the enemy, distance from GOD, in other words, it's your choice to continue pressing on for GOD, or to let the enemy deceive, lie and trick you to get you to turn against GOD.

We unbelievers (well, some of us) understand that you feel that your beliefs can "save" us from ourselves. But we really view the world differently than a believer does and as such, you should maybe try to see from a non-believer perspective when you attempt to help one. some athiests will even take your attempts as an insult, just be aware of that eventuality.
