Evangelism is the clergyman's job. Only paid Christians are required to labor in the harvest field. Anything else is a violation of Deut. 25:4, which Paul quotes twice!!! Free work is illegal!!!
The best reason why not to "share your faith" is because you respect the faiths of others, and wouldn't even think of imposing your religious views on someone else, anymore than you would want someone to impose their religious faith on you. Of course, those who are undereducated and theologically immature do not understand respectfor other faiths.
@peraspira True that. I've told Christians and others the same thing. Trying to convert me is disrespect. My religion doesn't proselytise; I wish Christians would do the same.
@peraspira The best reason to share your faith is because you don't want to see people go to Hell, and you want them to see the love, grace, and holiness of God. Although, it should be shared with the utmost respect. I'm sorry if you've ever walked away from an encounter with a Christian trying to share his/her faith and felt dishonored or disrespected.
i've bought this video 8 yrs ago at Spirit West Coast in CA and was on the floor laughing in front of hundreds of people because it was so funny anyway it was lost over the yrs when I started watching youtube videos a few months ago it came to my mind and as always Jesus found it for me..HEs soooooooooo awesome as usual
We don't witness or share our faith because we know that "The Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel shall make their living of the gospel" (1 Cor. :14). Evangelism is the clergyman's job, and I just proved it!!! Additonally, you can't be a witness unless you've witnessed the resurrection, which none of us have. The term witness in the Bible refers to those who had seen the resurrection. It does not applay to us.
@shinecurtis They certainly were. Don't you read the Bible? Luke 10:7 clearly states, "The worker deserves his wages." The context of this is when Jesus is sending them out to labor in the harvest field. Anybody who is doing anything in the Bible is getting at least bed and board for their work, and there is not a single example of anyone either getting saved or hearing the gospel through personal evangelism to be found in the Bible.
These two gay guys identify most of the fears religious people have when they attempt to make their beliefs make sense to adults, which is why children are a much easier target for indoctrination. I think it is funny how all the non-believers are portrayed as evil and selfish.
As cool and perhaps humorous as this was intended to be, I find it rather sad. So many people in the world pushing religion as if it's something wonderful when really it's just a psychological disease. How much character does it take to lie to children about what's real? How much character does it take to tell people you have answers when really all you have are rhetorical questions? How much character does it take to attack people who question your sanity because of the insanity of your faith?
It's insane to believe in things that obviously aren't real or true and it's immoral to lie to people about it. Granted it may be amusing, in what way does this making people better?
I have my own opinions but they're sound opinions. I don't shovel bunk. There is nothing unfair about questioning other people's opinions and then, when they prove to be bunk, pointing them out as such. What's unfair is silencing reasonable people every time and raving lunatic get's his feelings hurt.
que pasa LP, ya say "Because I was a Christian for over 12 yrs" i have to disagree with ya you there, either you are a christian, or you never were, was isnt an option. besides hearing about it and having true fellowship with God are worlds apart. when we face God many ppl will cry out Lord Lord didnt i do this or that for you, do u remember what He says? remember also the parables wheat and chaff . there r many ppl that go to church that dont know Jesus, i hope you havent lost your Faith.
thelovebat : Why would an omnipotent god,. who in his omnipotence has uncountable options at his disposal, choose such a bloody, cruel way, to save mankind ? Moreover this cross, is FOOLISHNESS(according to the bible itself).
if u read that verse 1 Cor 1:18 in context, u would understand that it is saying that the cross is foolishness to the fools of the world, if the cross is foolishness to u, then u r a fool according to the bible and u do not and cannot understand the wisdom of God until u seek him
read 1 Cor 1:18-25, not just a single verse, then u r fit for using it in a debate
We never invented a God, otherwise you would already know of his existence firsthand. He's always existed which is the point, we never invented him, he wasn't created, he's the creator and has always existed. You can't have an infinite regression of time logically speaking, so someone must've created the time we live in, and i believe that to be God (as in the christian God).
If "we", the human race, never invented "god" then why have there been THOUSANDS of "gods" throughout history? Most predate the life of the man you worship. In fact, many of those religions have the same stories that are in the bible just with characters that match their particular myth.
Worse yet for the credibility of the biblical tale, a number of those had used story elements for their god that are EXACTLY the same as those attributed to jesus. Including rising from the dead 3 days after being killed and being born on December 25th. These were written hundreds and sometimes thousands of years before jesus was even born.
Why have you settled on the christian story as the correct one? When you die and one of the other tales ends of being the true version of the story, won't you be told 'you were warned' and that the correct information was there for you to find?

More faith sharing:
Ezekiel 23:19-20. "...so the man took his concubine, and brought her forth unto them; and that they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning ..." -
Yet she increased her prostitution, remembering the days of her youth when she engaged in prostitution in the land of Egypt. She lusted after their genitals -- as large as those of donkeys, and their seminal emission was as strong as that of stallions."
Lol, there's only one reason not to share your faith. Because the people you talk to that don't have tangible faith are insulted by people trying to talk to them about it and instantly put up psychological defenses.
Like trying to tell a girl on her cycle who swears she's right, she's wrong.
Do you want to get hurt? No one does, but make your own mind up and don't hurt others!
Happyfameof8: Your reasoning is flawed. You can never disprove a negative. Try to prove that the" Flying Spaghetti Monster" doesn`t exist. By the way the bible proves itself wrong.You want me to show you ?
You can not prove a negative. All a negative is, is a destructive force (electronics). It stops and doesn't do anything right until the positve lead is fed in and connected in the right way. I can prove the flying spaghetti monster doesn't exist. I have the flavor of marinara sauce on my breath dude. Show me!
Actually no none of those are the reason why I share my faith with anyone. Their are so many different religions out their with so many different varieties it's just pointless. 'How is your faith more right than that persons over their?'
If you are Christian like I am then you need to understand that it's freedom of choice. All so it's no ones responsibility to try and convert you, it's your own and it's your choice.
You are partially right, however your logic is faulty. Yes, it is not our job to convict a person's heart. That is the job of the Holy Spirit. And yes, a person has a choice of whether they will listen and believe. However, we do have a responsibility to share/explain/tell what we believe. That is our job. We are not responsible for the outcome (ie whether they believe or not.)
Why, who saids we have to share are faith? Who saids it's our job? Freedom of Choice I choose how I live and you choose how you live. If you want to go try and preach to others like The Witnesses or Mormons be my guest because guess what. You are going to get the door slammed in your face a lot. Worry about your family because they are the most important family to you.
In answer to your question, "who says?" God does, in His Word, the Bible. Here's one of many examples: Romans 10:14: How then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?" And in turn, I ask you, who says we shouldn't share our faith? If a blind person was walking toward a cliff, would you not warn them that they were walking in a dangerous place and could die?
In this day and age did you not see the elderly person get hit by the car and no one do anything as he laid in the middle of the road. Who should stop that blind man from walking, it's his choice with Freedom of Choice to continue walking on his own path.
Society as whole doesn't care about what Christians say because it's usually all talk. How many Christians watched that man get hit and do nothing as he laid their. Focus on yourself and your family not others because family is the most important. You only get one and friends come and go family you have only once.
(continuing) You'd have to have a heart of stone to keep quiet about it. Likewise, if I don't share my faith with those who God calls me to share with, I'd have to be pretty heartless. Once I share, the decision is theirs. But I will have done what I'm called to do.
Hey great video, but I noticed that the guys who did the 12 reasons got what I think is the most important excuse: Evangelism is not my spiritual gift. Not to be over-critical, but this is the one I hear the most.
Holy crap!! that was weird!! he said shane first, and then i was like wow, that would be funny if the other guys name is brandon, and it was!! the funny thing is that my names brandon and my closest frnds name is shane... wowm how ironic
My 'excuse' is that all my friends are around religious hipicrites(sp?). And they get all this religious crap stuffed down their throats all the time, they know what the Bible says, but its not enough. What should I do?
A while back I did something and was like #4 and one of my unsaved friends told me " If you are the best example of a Christian I have no wonder I ain't one". Its hard to know he is going to Hell and its kinda my fault.
You know, it's sad the excuses that we make not to tell others about Christ, you know, we get made fun of, but is that really the end of the world for us? What's more important? Your feelings or somebody elses salvation? Oh, I don't care how anyone reponds to this, say what you want. But I am going to speak out, are YOU?
did i not already send a comment your direction. was it you who reccomended zietgeist crap that i already looked into. the is always was one, and nirubu is not going to come with all their goons to rescue people. gravitation forces are said to shift polarity of the earth causing mass natural disasters
pinky you don't know the Half of it not only that but on the Day a Christian Dies He gets to Stand before the Ancient of Days And is entered into Eternal Rest and Joy. Man you can't even compare that with the fate of the unsaved. I hope that isn't the what your planing on Eternal torment, suffering, Dude that sounds lame. Being a freak for Jesus is too cool He is worthy for the Great things He Has Done Praise the Lord. Please repent, Eternity is a Loonngg time to Have A Wrong Answer.
phil-Dude that sounds like a wrong answer. The way I see it & please correct me if I'm wrong there R 3 possibilities 4 the existance of the universe-1)It has always been-That has been rejected by science Steven Hawking "Almost everyone believes that the universe, had a beginning"(the 2nd Law of thermodynamics)-2)It created it self.-That is philosophically impossible. Be4 it existed how can it creat it self?-3)God created it Please Give Him His Glory He Deserves it. He Loves U & gave Jesus 4 U.
wageggowarefare" Sir. if you are so sure the creator did it, then you also must know HOW and WHY he created this universe. Please tell me , why this creator, floating in the void for an eternity, suddenly starts creating,OUT OF NOTHING. Thanks
Happyfamo8: I really don`t care sir. My personal preference goes to "energy". I don`t see why energy can`t have existed forever.When you believe in a creator, you create two problems. A) where does that creator come from B) Where does the material comes from he used to start creating ?
Energy, huh? Sounds like you've got a problem then. You've got energy, no matter, no plan and no designer. Energy without a plan doesn't create. It destroys. Have you ever heard of the 2nd law of thermodynamics? You might want to read up on it. By the way, I'm not a "sir."
Happyfameof8: Well tell me where that creator came from and what he used to start creating, and the reason why . Thank you. The big bang is just a much discussed theory. Scientists are not confidently sure yet how, but you guys are absolutely sure it was a creator. So PROVE IT .Tell us how it happened. Please.
The Hindu's believe all of this happened from a spark of energy and then multiplied into a series of world destructions. 6 or so. Then at the end of the last one Shiva split reality into endless conclusions (parallel dimensions in quantem physics). But Shiva, God, Believing energy developed into consciousness or what ever, the bottom line is numbers, results and repeating history is the only truth.
How did the big bang come from nothing then? If nothing always existed then you can't explain how the big bang suddenly happened and how time started. That leads to a creator like God, plus you don't risk anything by believing or praying but you risk just about everything by refusing to believe it. Its a lose lose situation by not believing, you don't have anything to gain but you have nothing to lose by believing.
So, I can safely assume that you pray to and believe in Allah, Shiva, Zeus, and Yu-huang among others? Don't forget, it's a "lose lose situation by not believing." and you "risk everything by refusing to believe it."
Unfortunately that's an unfair question, cus then you would have to say the same thing to all the other religions and your argument wouldn't really make much sense cus then it wouldn't have to do with my beliefs in being a christian it just has more to do with the fact I believe in something. And no, I don't believe or worship in allah, shiva, zeus, or yuhang among others. I may not be able to convince you that God exists which is fine you have your beliefs but don't say you weren't warned.
It doesn't just have to do with the fact to "believe in something." You stated, "you risk just about everything by refusing to believe it." Aren't you risking everything if you are incorrect and did not believe in these as well? Could not the believers of these religions also say, "don't say you weren't warned"? with an equal level of foundation for their certitude? Does this not then speak to the fallacy of all?
Of course they can. This is America and everyone has a right to free speech and religion. I just believe and want others to believe in my God, the christian God that's all. In countries other than America it can be worse there than it is here.
I can accept that you just want others to believe in your god. However, please take a second to answer the larger part of the question.
"You stated, "you risk just about everything by refusing to believe it." Aren't you risking everything if you are incorrect and did not believe in these as well?
Exactly. Everyone is in the same boat in the sense that there is no logical explanation or evidence out there and they all are on equal footing.
I am truly most interested in hearing your perspective as to why you hold to christianity as a true story when so many told the same story long before its inception.
"Worse yet for the credibility of the biblical tale, a number of those had used story elements for their god that are EXACTLY the same as those attributed to jesus. Including rising from the dead 3 days after being killed and being born on December 25th. These were written hundreds and sometimes thousands of years before jesus was even born."
The exagerrations were appropriate and I can understand why these people did them. They show how unlikely the things we fear will happen will truly happen when we witness.
you are a vibration pulsation of the creation of God. as is everything else. the unified aspect of everything that is. God is the intercessor between all this. through it, in it, around it, and above it.
selflessness....and love..greatest qualities we can know. praise the Lord.
number 5 for me. don't know how to start. get ready to say something good and then, i say something totally different. there should be a support group or a convention for all of us who find this hard, and we can meet together and help each other/ourselves.
I agree!... I would really love to meet with a group of people and learn ways to reach people with the gospel...I just think of myself as being way too shy to get people to listen to me..
My church showed this video a couple of time and it cracks me up every time! lol Bytheway, I`m Cristina, from "CounterCulture, or "The Art Corner." ;)
I think that this is a funny video. But I think that you could make it more helpful by either doing another video giving ways to overcome these fears or what to do in those situations. That is if your really trying to help. But if you are only trying to make people aware of the reasons and how lame they are then your video is great.
Everybody knows there is something like christianity and can read about it and convert to it if they feel like they want to. Preaching to people that didn't ask for it is offensive towards other religions and towards common sense and reason of nonbelievers. Stop sharing your faith unasked for it or be ready to face religious molestation charges.
Everbody knows there is something like exclusive truth and if Christians believe that Jesus Christ alone is truth they have an obligation to share this message. Just because
you're offended by the gospel or "other" religions are offended (as if this matters for some reason) doesn't mean a thing. Stop sharing your logical fallacies.
Well-made and familiar excuses, but... the days of "cold calling for Jesus" are over. Rather, setting up an inclusive community (not necessarily spirtually centered) where they can belong before they believe was and still is far more effective and less arrogant. The assumption that is necessary to "share your faith" misrepresents the Gospel message of inclusiveness, because it says that you have to believe the correct facts before you can be accepted by the Christian community...
that was SO funny and SO true, and a couple of those have happened to me, but hey if the Lord can speak thru a donkey I guess He can use me. NO EXCUSES, lol.
Exd 20:7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Mar 7:22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: Mar 7:23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
the idea of god has pretty much been debunked by science so youre practically lying to people. religion of all types (not just yours) has done far more harm than good in the world.
science and archaeology do just the opposite, they confirm it. I can give you plenty of websites if you would like to know the truth. Religion is as webster defines it: a belief system held by a group or groups of people. Atheism is a religion too. Look at the statisticson my next reply
Stalin and his Athiest communist regime: 10 million surplus deaths (4 million by repression and 6 million from famine) are attributable to the regime. Pioneering researcher Robert Conquest,revised his original estimate of 30 million victims down to 20 million. Others maintain that their earlier much higher estimates are correct.[31]
You see that more "harm than good" has come from your religion than has ever come from false converts of Christianity. This is just a clear example of man's attempt to govern himself instead of doing it God's way.
The fool has said in his heart there is no god.(Psalm 14:1)
not one can understand anything, except they be humbled, poor in spirit. selfless, looking for answers, then selfish, full of pride, deceit, the pricked conscience. have you ever tried meditation and prayer for more than 10 minutes? have you ever realized how uncapable you are, and how often you fail?
you are not responsible for what others think. your beliefs are youre own. time is a valuable thing as life is short so you shouldnt waste others time. anyone simple enough to want to know about christianity can come to you.
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Rom 1:19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed [it] unto them.
Rom 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Rom 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.Rom 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
how bout this for 8 reasons to stay at home... there is no heaven so you dont need to tell anyone about jesus. there is no hell so you dont need to tell anyone about jesus.
How about 1 reason: Go ye into the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. (Mark 16:15-16) How about another? 2Cr 5:11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men;
Rom 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Rom 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.Rom 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
I laughed out loud! That was great AND definitely true!

Ezekiel 23:19-20
Yet she increased her prostitution, remembering the days of her youth when she engaged in prostitution in the land of Egypt. She lusted after their genitals -- as large as those of donkeys, and their seminal emission was as strong as that of stallions."

Awesome. lol, there's so much garbage in that book that doesn't exist to most christians.
laikalynx 3 years ago
Lol, there's only one reason not to share your faith. Because the people you talk to that don't have tangible faith are insulted by people trying to talk to them about it and instantly put up psychological defenses.
Like trying to tell a girl on her cycle who swears she's right, she's wrong.
Do you want to get hurt? No one does, but make your own mind up and don't hurt others!

Happyfameof8: Your reasoning is flawed. You can never disprove a negative. Try to prove that the" Flying Spaghetti Monster" doesn`t exist. By the way the bible proves itself wrong.You want me to show you ?
Philos2006 3 years ago
You can not prove a negative. All a negative is, is a destructive force (electronics). It stops and doesn't do anything right until the positve lead is fed in and connected in the right way. I can prove the flying spaghetti monster doesn't exist. I have the flavor of marinara sauce on my breath dude. Show me!
Hotpocketmountiandew 3 years ago
Actually no none of those are the reason why I share my faith with anyone. Their are so many different religions out their with so many different varieties it's just pointless. 'How is your faith more right than that persons over their?'
If you are Christian like I am then you need to understand that it's freedom of choice. All so it's no ones responsibility to try and convert you, it's your own and it's your choice.

You are partially right, however your logic is faulty. Yes, it is not our job to convict a person's heart. That is the job of the Holy Spirit. And yes, a person has a choice of whether they will listen and believe. However, we do have a responsibility to share/explain/tell what we believe. That is our job. We are not responsible for the outcome (ie whether they believe or not.)

by the way, my comment below was directed to DynastyWarriors, not to the makers of the video. The video was awesome!
happyfamof8 3 years ago
Why, who saids we have to share are faith? Who saids it's our job? Freedom of Choice I choose how I live and you choose how you live. If you want to go try and preach to others like The Witnesses or Mormons be my guest because guess what. You are going to get the door slammed in your face a lot. Worry about your family because they are the most important family to you.
DynastyWarriors6 3 years ago
In answer to your question, "who says?" God does, in His Word, the Bible. Here's one of many examples: Romans 10:14: How then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?" And in turn, I ask you, who says we shouldn't share our faith? If a blind person was walking toward a cliff, would you not warn them that they were walking in a dangerous place and could die?
happyfamof8 3 years ago
In this day and age did you not see the elderly person get hit by the car and no one do anything as he laid in the middle of the road. Who should stop that blind man from walking, it's his choice with Freedom of Choice to continue walking on his own path.
DynastyWarriors6 3 years ago
So sad that you feel that way :-(
happyfamof8 3 years ago
Society as whole doesn't care about what Christians say because it's usually all talk. How many Christians watched that man get hit and do nothing as he laid their. Focus on yourself and your family not others because family is the most important. You only get one and friends come and go family you have only once.
DynastyWarriors6 3 years ago
(continuing) You'd have to have a heart of stone to keep quiet about it. Likewise, if I don't share my faith with those who God calls me to share with, I'd have to be pretty heartless. Once I share, the decision is theirs. But I will have done what I'm called to do.

My 'excuse' is that all my friends are around religious hipicrites(sp?). And they get all this religious crap stuffed down their throats all the time, they know what the Bible says, but its not enough. What should I do?
A while back I did something and was like #4 and one of my unsaved friends told me " If you are the best example of a Christian I have no wonder I ain't one". Its hard to know he is going to Hell and its kinda my fault.
Any advice?

Happyfamo8: I really don`t care sir. My personal preference goes to "energy". I don`t see why energy can`t have existed forever.When you believe in a creator, you create two problems. A) where does that creator come from B) Where does the material comes from he used to start creating ?
Philos2006 3 years ago
Energy, huh? Sounds like you've got a problem then. You've got energy, no matter, no plan and no designer. Energy without a plan doesn't create. It destroys. Have you ever heard of the 2nd law of thermodynamics? You might want to read up on it. By the way, I'm not a "sir."

The Hindu's believe all of this happened from a spark of energy and then multiplied into a series of world destructions. 6 or so. Then at the end of the last one Shiva split reality into endless conclusions (parallel dimensions in quantem physics). But Shiva, God, Believing energy developed into consciousness or what ever, the bottom line is numbers, results and repeating history is the only truth.
Hotpocketmountiandew 3 years ago
How did the big bang come from nothing then? If nothing always existed then you can't explain how the big bang suddenly happened and how time started. That leads to a creator like God, plus you don't risk anything by believing or praying but you risk just about everything by refusing to believe it. Its a lose lose situation by not believing, you don't have anything to gain but you have nothing to lose by believing.
thelovebat 3 years ago
So, I can safely assume that you pray to and believe in Allah, Shiva, Zeus, and Yu-huang among others? Don't forget, it's a "lose lose situation by not believing." and you "risk everything by refusing to believe it."
MeelReel 2 years ago
Unfortunately that's an unfair question, cus then you would have to say the same thing to all the other religions and your argument wouldn't really make much sense cus then it wouldn't have to do with my beliefs in being a christian it just has more to do with the fact I believe in something. And no, I don't believe or worship in allah, shiva, zeus, or yuhang among others. I may not be able to convince you that God exists which is fine you have your beliefs but don't say you weren't warned.
thelovebat 2 years ago
It doesn't just have to do with the fact to "believe in something." You stated, "you risk just about everything by refusing to believe it." Aren't you risking everything if you are incorrect and did not believe in these as well? Could not the believers of these religions also say, "don't say you weren't warned"? with an equal level of foundation for their certitude? Does this not then speak to the fallacy of all?
MeelReel 2 years ago
Of course they can. This is America and everyone has a right to free speech and religion. I just believe and want others to believe in my God, the christian God that's all. In countries other than America it can be worse there than it is here.

I can accept that you just want others to believe in your god. However, please take a second to answer the larger part of the question.
"You stated, "you risk just about everything by refusing to believe it." Aren't you risking everything if you are incorrect and did not believe in these as well?

Logically speaking yes, but if that's the case then everyone is. At least we all have something in common. :)

Exactly. Everyone is in the same boat in the sense that there is no logical explanation or evidence out there and they all are on equal footing.
I am truly most interested in hearing your perspective as to why you hold to christianity as a true story when so many told the same story long before its inception.
MeelReel 2 years ago
As I put it before:
"Worse yet for the credibility of the biblical tale, a number of those had used story elements for their god that are EXACTLY the same as those attributed to jesus. Including rising from the dead 3 days after being killed and being born on December 25th. These were written hundreds and sometimes thousands of years before jesus was even born."

The exagerrations were appropriate and I can understand why these people did them. They show how unlikely the things we fear will happen will truly happen when we witness.

I think that this is a funny video. But I think that you could make it more helpful by either doing another video giving ways to overcome these fears or what to do in those situations. That is if your really trying to help. But if you are only trying to make people aware of the reasons and how lame they are then your video is great.

Everybody knows there is something like christianity and can read about it and convert to it if they feel like they want to. Preaching to people that didn't ask for it is offensive towards other religions and towards common sense and reason of nonbelievers. Stop sharing your faith unasked for it or be ready to face religious molestation charges.

Everbody knows there is something like exclusive truth and if Christians believe that Jesus Christ alone is truth they have an obligation to share this message. Just because
you're offended by the gospel or "other" religions are offended (as if this matters for some reason) doesn't mean a thing. Stop sharing your logical fallacies.
streetapologist 4 years ago
Well-made and familiar excuses, but... the days of "cold calling for Jesus" are over. Rather, setting up an inclusive community (not necessarily spirtually centered) where they can belong before they believe was and still is far more effective and less arrogant. The assumption that is necessary to "share your faith" misrepresents the Gospel message of inclusiveness, because it says that you have to believe the correct facts before you can be accepted by the Christian community...

Stalin and his Athiest communist regime: 10 million surplus deaths (4 million by repression and 6 million from famine) are attributable to the regime.

You see that more "harm than good" has come from your religion than has ever come from false converts of Christianity. This is just a clear example of man's attempt to govern himself instead of doing it God's way.
