And did you know that you can expect satan to mock and hate you and try to hinder you all the way.?
It comes with the territory for those who are living for Jesus ....
In Fact it is a sign that we ARE blessed of the Father!
" Blessed are you when men shall hate you, ...and shall reproach you, and cast your name out as evil, for the Son of man's sake. Rejoice, and leap for joy!...for GREAT is your reward in heaven!" -- Jesus (Luke 6:22)

I thought it was a duty or something like that. My mistake.

I agree completely. Many non-Christians are always asking, "why can't Christians just leave me alone and keep their ridiculous beliefs to themselves?" Even though I am not a Christian I understand that it is an important part of your beliefs to "save others,"no matter how irritating I may find it. I do think that many times Christians misunderstand and think that all non-Christians hate Christians. In my case, I was raised Christian and became very unhappy with organized Christianity, then slowly came to a point where I realized I no longer even believed in it. I do get dragged into the mud slinging on Yahoo! Answers but I feel I'm no worse than many of the Christians here. For the most part I really do try to be tolerant of people with different beliefs but many of those same people won't be tolerant of me.

Very True, and thats why its so hard for some of us to do it. Not only is it a privilige, but it is an obligation that we have. We need to share our testimonies with the lost. Christ said that we shall go out and make disciples. I dont think we realize how serious it actually is. Every second that we hesitate, another soul is lost for eternity. People are dying, and we have all the power to save them, yet we sit on our hands and do nothing.

Yes. If you spend any time at all on this forum you have all the evidence you need that non-believers hate Christians. The reason for the hate is that we love Jesus and follow His teachings, which means we will spread the Word of God to all the nations.

Yes, I love to share the love of Jesus. I was able to bless someone the other day with some money and tell them how much God loves them. They were thankful, it blessed me so much.

You said the RIGHT word. It is a PRIVILEGE to share Jesus Christ with the world.. It is not a right to shove it in their faces however.

Do you know that the stories of your Jesus is practically a direct copy from the stories of Horus, Dionysis and Mythra? Seriously, you should know that. It is nothing more than 'COPY'.

You will certainly get your share of persecution here on yahoo. Does that make you feel good?

That's why I don't get discouraged when people call me stupid, gullible, idiotic, etc. for believing in God...
