It's not my place to show Christ's love, only he can reveal his love through a personal relationship. I would not and could not stand in Christ's way.

Far enough to stop proselytizing and treating the Life of the Spirit like it's my exclusive territory and I am arbiter of all human souls. Love can also look like not pushing and coercing others. That's why it's only a minority now of Christians that doesn't make Christianity look like a bigoted, untenable religion.
What many Christians call showing someone the love of Christ is really showing them the hatred of the provincial bigot.

Well, I don't push my beliefs in the faces of others because it just aggravates them and ends up pushing them away. I've found that the most effective way to show someone Christ's love is through my actions.

I got up at 3am to go to an all night pharmacy to get meds for a single mother's sick kid.
I have spent hours talking with people who were depressed and needed someone, even when it was inconvenient for me.
I have sacrificed many a lunch break to come to YA and share my knowledge of Scripture and Logic with people, many of whom hate me for little more than the fact that I am a Christian.
Is that the sort of thing you are asking about?

convert them to islam so they can recieve the true messgae of jesus. they would be able to follow the teachings he gave. noone ever listened to what jesus taught thats why jesus was taken uop by God . in the end of time when jesus comes back everyone will be surprised when he asks christians why did nt you follow my word why did yo ulie about me and why didnt you listen to the truth about me when someone told you it. i have read when jesus comes back it will be hard because all the people that worship him will be turned down for paradise because they put him equal with God or some even call him God. i was christian my whole life and i converted to islam 2 years ago. i was relieved that now i know the truth and can follow his true teachings and know that muslims love jesus just as muhammed.

Depends on if they want to hear it or not, when I find they want me to get into these senseless debates about God I get out quick. But, if they are really sincere about knowing or exchanging our ideas, I will go the whole nine yards to dig up all the information I can get my hands on for them.

I can only say and tell them everything that the Word of God says to. Jesus said that it is with love and kindness have I drawn them. So I'd show them love and then give them the Word of God. Jesus said that if we lift Him up, He will draw all men unto Him. May God Bless U.

As far as it took.
Of course threatening people with hellfire and brimstone if they don't believe exactly like MY denomination is not showing Jesus's love. So I guess I'd stop somewhere around there.
