They could have represented Chritianity by being more compassionate and less angry. Now she probably doesn't ever want to go to a Christian service.

Sweet pea you are so right. See what people don't realize especially Christian is that God is love and any way you represent him has to be in love. You can never force you belief on anyone. Love conquers all, when they master this then they will be better people. Good luck!

I don't think you should be worried about, if she ever wants to go to a christian service. They like their religion. I think that you should defend her and not let your other friends treat her like that. It only makes christians look ignorant by not being tolerant of other cultures. Show your coworker not all Christians are that way by maybe asking her what she believes in and interchanging thoughts, so the other coworkers get the Idea and they stop seeing differently. The Christian church teaches that in order to earn heavens you must accept Christ as your own personal Saviour and people outside Crhistianity respect Crhistian's throughts. Muslim church teaches their is no God apart from god and no one but him must be worshiped, I think we and everybody else should respect that. You don't see Muslims knocking doors trying to convert people or teasing others at work trying to converty you.

Satan often brings about evil in anything the child of God does...often we are considered as vain. But we are driven and often misunderstood. We are bold in our beliefs as children of God.We tell but we do not force. Jesus said some will not believe. John 17. So why force it....ostracize is not a game. Why tell someone about a God that is the only God. When someone else has their mind made up. That Jesus is not real. The word of God says that is the work of the antichrist. Why do you say we are angry. If one does not want to go to a Christian service it has nothing to do with the Christians...but it has everything to do with that persons belief in God... They may die in their sins. That is why God says pray for others. We do not have to say a word we just pray that your eyes of understanding be enlightened. Cause we often see the world take offense at what is said about the Lord of lords and King of kings. 1 Samuel 12:20-25. If we do not or refuse to pray for you we sin against God. Now that is a sign of Christian compassion and love. It shows no anger at all. For we enter our closet and pray in secret and the Lord will reward us openly. Such as a Christian so it is their life. We do love others. Jesus often went away to pray for us. And he loved us all of us.John 3:16.. If you have know idea what the Bible says, why go off the deep end. It takes a relationship with God to know him and his children.

Sadly, many Christians are rascists and bigots. Christ was a loving, kind man. He was Meditarranean, so I doubt he had a problem with coloured people of different religions. Unfortunately, Chirstians (and people from many other religions) are taught that theirs is the best, and worse, the ONLY way. They don't see people who love god as they do as brothers. They see a threat, because they fear. They are taught to hate, and told to fear. There is one god, in many forms for many different peoples. Jesus did not hate. God does not hate. But humans like being right, and there's no better way to feel that than to ostracize someone who isn't like you.
I don't know how proud Jesus would be of how his works and teachings and spirit are represented by his so-called "followers". I don't think many people have a good concept of what being in a religion means, or their spiritual responsibility to it. Most people don't consider who similar they are to those who don't seem to be similar.
I hope someone apologizes to your co-worker.

I doubt she would want to go to a Christian service anyway.
It is really sad that your coworkers would treat another coworker that way simply because she believes that Jesus was a prophet....

Are you sure that they ostracized her over Jesus? Maybe they are just staying away from her in case she's wired to explode...
Yeah, the vast majority of muslims aren't terrorists, but that doesn't mean that a lot of people won't suspect them of being dangerous.

Because she doesn't believe as they do.
Did you speak up for her or were you afraid they would ostracize you as well?
Christians should quit trying to convert her.
Religion has no place on the job. People go to work to work not to gain converts for their religion.

you're right. we are not supposed to be angry when speaking about Christ. Sometimes people let their flesh get the best of them instead of letting the spirit of God lead them.
