What comes to mind when you hear the word "Ambassador?"?

Question

Christians do you realize that's what we are?

2 Corinthians 5:20 (New King James Version)

20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.

Hey Ethan I like your answer.......we are from another country whose builder and maker is God! :)

Answer 1

*tips hat*

Hi sister zeal... wishing you peace. (For real, not sarcastically...)

Answer 2

A person appointed by the President to represent the United States in other countries.

The appointee is usually a big contributor to the Presidential political party or campaign or a very wealthy corporate leader who has "earned" the position by making political concessions through the lobbying process.

In any case, most who hold the position do so only due to patronage or nepotism. They are rarely equipped to fulfill their duties and usually have no diplomatic skills.

Commenting on the word as you have defined it, my personal experience is that few who "represent" Christ are worthy. Most "ambassadors" are bigoted, arrogant, tend towards racism, intolerant and hold themselves in high regard.

Nothing could be more anti-Christ than that.

Answer 3

I believe that someone who is an ambassador is one who is diplomatic by nature. A lot of Christians I have encountered have made me realize that they are not an ambassador of their own religion. Of course some are very understanding and accepting of my views, but I have been met with a lot of awkward stares and a few condemnations to hell from Christians upon revealing that I am an atheist. I would like to believe I am an ambassador of atheism to the Christians. I am a well spoken individual who is not judgmental of someone until they have been judgmental to me. I believe that there are people on both sides that are intolerant of each other, and that brings us nowhere fast.

Answer 4

I think of a foreign embassy. An ambassador should help make sure that someone visiting another country is safe and help them become familiar with the territory and help find necessary accommodations.

It is an ambassadors' job to put the best face forward and to keep positive relations.

Answer 5

Ambassador for Christ

Answer 6

Christ is the end of the law: Romans 10:4
You're for law; is not an ambassador of Christ.
Try C of JC instead of C of CJ is mirrorly reverse.

It is preposterous order to teach first, and learn after.
Get the beam (law) out of your own eye FIRST, to see.
When thou art converted, then strengthen thy brethren.

Answer 7

My first thought was of a fishing reel. Got two really old ones I use - Hey! Jesus did say He wanted to make us fishers of men!

Conan - good remember! My first car was a '68 AMC Javelin! Metallic maroon paint, blk racing stripes, Crager Mags..... oh, the memories... oh yeah, and the 8-track player too!

Answer 8

Yes, I am very aware of that, we are Ambassadors for Christ, whatever we do daily , reflects on our Father in Heaven.

Answer 9

It is sad when you have to put a copyright when quoting scricpture! Thankfully according to the actual word of God, "the word of God is not bound." Now I just quoted the Bible their. Please do not sue me for the lack of copyright! Oh yeah..you can not sue me because there is no copyright on the King James....coincidence? I think not!

Answer 10

A representative of another country.

Answer 11

A "spokesman on the behalf of another.." ..Peace keeper,.. a "go-between" ...representative of, ..things like that...as Christians, we are ministers of the Lord, doing his bidding in this area...(something not to be taken lightly...) "Peace!
