Top 5 Reasons I Don't Share My Faith

[airplaneking]

Number 3 is christianity in a nut shell.

your "foil" is more on what are the matters but skewed -as usual. Even the so-called (by me- more thoughtful person- you have no idea how to potray. ~ Lemarc

[Puseye2]

It's refreshing to see that these two wingnuts didn't receive, or, send one text message during this clip!

[BlossomofGod731]

As I read the comments on this video, I see that a lot of people write that Christians should be more kind, or nicer, which I completely agree with. I think everyone should be nice, and if not, nicer, ;) But I, myself am Christian and believe that people always go through phases in their lives, in which they avoid people or are more agressive. So you can't always judge a person by the way they act. I was like that. People, whether Christian or not, always reach an all time low, ThankYou, ;)

[AshChan19]

this was very great!!! i LOVED the part when u said u "i dont know where to start"

LOL thats my biggest problem hahaha. it was sooo funny and great!!!! keep making these inspirational and informative videos, despite of what the world thinks.

[SubconsciousGatherer]

When I was a Christian I could still see just how stupid these types of videos are. Now that I'm atheist I can see it even more. There are no redeeming qualities for such things at all, except for exposing the ridiculousness of religion.

You can summarize this video with ONE reason for not sharing your faith: It's utter nonsense.

[AshChan19]

@SubconsciousGatherer LOL you share your faith everyday. You share or persuade others to try this food, or play this video game and such. so you do it as well, share your beliefs i mean. As far as being cheesy, well, you just probably didn't understand, which is understandable. But its so great to live knowing God loves you, and knowing that we didnt just poof here. its such an amzing feeling to know where im going where i die, instead of being miserable every day of my life, into drugs and such

[SubconsciousGatherer]

@AshChan19 As soon as you can prove that *your* particular god exists then I'd love to continue this conversation with you. Until then, you are just making stuff up as far as I'm concerned. That's not intended to be harsh, I'm just asking for you to back up your claim that a god of some kind exists. Thanks.

[AshChan19]

@SubconsciousGatherer you cant prove science now can you? nope. and you have experienced it now have you? nope. so, you are going by what youve been taught. :) its based on experiences and faith. thats what i go by. But i respect your opinion. i respect your respectfulness as well. i wasnt 'blown up' by you as the others lol. its amazing how individuals get so angry with the very mention of God.

[SubconsciousGatherer]

@AshChan19 I don't know what you mean by "you cant prove science now can you?" Are you saying you don't believe in science? Have you ever taken medication when you're ill? If so, you can thank science. I don't get angry at the very mention of any gods. I get angry when people insist gods are real yet can't prove them. It also upsets me when certain people who believe in a particular god (like Christians) think I deserve to be tortured for eternity. That's utter hatred on their part.

[AkonoEntertainment]

@SubconsciousGatherer Nobody thinks you deserve to be tortured for all eternity, the devil is the one who wants to that, but God DOES NOT want that for you... That's why he sent His son to bleed to death for you on a cross, so you can go to heaven for FREE... It is a FREE gift, but you do have to accept it, by accepting what Christ did for you, nobody's trying to force it on you, it's just the only way to get there since we all are guilty of sin. God is real whether you believe it or not...

[SubconsciousGatherer]

@AkonoEntertainment Not with a 10-foot pole...

[peraspira]

Maybe you should not share Jesus with anybody because they are of a different faith and are as spiritual and happy in it as you are in yours. Would you be offended if someone of a different faith tried to "share it" with you? Well, then, don't offend anyone else.

[AshChan19]

@peraspira Its up to us as lights of the world to share God's love. If we dont, just because we feel it may offend, then thats a chance missed in sharing the gospel, and having them accept and go on to heaven. We will be hated, yes, but Jesus says in the bible, that the world will hate you for speaking of God, but mind you, they hated me first. And im always open to opinions. every faith, i just choose not to accept, thats all. God Bless you.

[peraspira]

@AshChan19 You didn't answer my question. Can I share my different faith with you? Would you be offended? I choose not to accept any religion but that which I have faith in - that of my forefathers. Now, then. May I share my faith with you?

[AshChan19]

@peraspira why of course, im open to anyones beliefs and/or opinions. I wouldnt be open minded if i shun out everyone else. go ahead. im listening. :)

[peraspira]

@AshChan19 Your previous response to me belies your professed open-mindedness. Why don't you just respect the boundaries of the different faiths and respect their beauty. That would make you theologically mature. To me, "faith sharing" is a cultural exchange. To a closed mind such as yours, it is meant to convert people. Can you see the difference? Probably not. Once you come out of the my-religion-is-better-than-you­r-religion immature mindset, then a cultural exchange would be beneficial.

[AkonoEntertainment]

@AshChan19 As open minded as you are... ask GOD to show you that He is real, then you will know what we Christians already know... And if He doesn't show you.... ask Him again... and again... and again, the door is opened for he that keeps knocking

[socksumi]

How about -- nobody wants to hear about your delusional cult because it's BULLSHIT.

[AshChan19]

@socksumi then good bye :) Its deffinately not a cult. Its just God's love and promises. those who chose to make it into a cult is in the wrong. Its just communication with God and accepting Christ in our hearts and trying our best to do good. as far as ritual, thats nonsense. God Bless you.

[socksumi]

@AshChan19 What god?--the one you believe?. If you have evidence then---present it. If not---shut up please because asserting and preaching proves nothing.

The Christian belief system is delusion and lies. Christian morality is barbaric and if evil is defined as---causing human death and suffering, then the god you believe in (as depicted in the OT) is a sadistic, homophobic, torturing, genocidal, baby killing douche bag.

Christian doctrine is as offensive to me as if you spit in my face.

[AshChan19]

@socksumi and that was sarcasm by the way LOL people get so angry its sad.

[socksumi]

@AshChan19 "and that was sarcasm by the way". -- What sarcasm?, did I miss something?

I'm not sure what it is that makes some of you Christians think it proper to assert and preach without the slightest attempt at justifying or demonstrating your claims. For those who think critically, that's not enough so we necessarily seek a rational approach to acquiring and validating knowledge. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence---but it doesn't seem to matter much to Christians.

(cont3) I'm not saying the rebuke and censuring MUST be uncharitable, but when does a rebuke sound "sweet and nice"?

Of course, it is also unfortunately true that most Christians don't stand up because of a guilty conscience over their own sin. This is why we must establish ourselves firmly in the grace of God, not only for the sake of the imputation of His righteousness, but for the actual impartation of grace "reign (ing) through righteousness" that God's Word declares. (Rom.5:21) (cont)

[911dispatcher]

(cont2) which has been imposed (for a variety of reasons) has kept Christians from reacting with reasonable and responsible anger to the onslaught of the flood of perversion which has flooded this country. The lack of spiritual backbone that Christians have had has allowed the wicked's thoughts to prevail in virtually all of society. The perverts speak out loudly and insistently but Christians won't stand up and challenge their wickedness with sound, reasonable and appropriate rebuke. (cont)

[911dispatcher]

Christians should be kind, like Jesus was when He said, "If I say I don't know Him, I shall be a liar like you..."

I'm trying to show the "sweet and nice" Christian is a wholly incomplete, albeit, legitimate aspect of the whole man. If you saw a pedophile trying to seduce your child, would you say to yourself, "Now I need to remember that I'm representing Jesus here"? Of course not. You woudn't even consider it unless the Lord prompted you.

Furthermore, the "sweet and nice" stereotype" (cont)

[AshChan19]

@911dispatcher actually, i must defend myself, but again, we are called to love eveyrone. if a pedo raped and killed my sister, of course id be heart broken, but id forgive the guy and pray that he gets saved, because thats the type of person i am, not ignorant. life is short, why hate anyone?

[gustranger]

it's about being christlike and not just christians. I'm sick about people who say that they are christians but they are not christlike at all, they are just the opposite than the image that I have from the son of God... it's not about being so talkative about God's business but just try to love the people the way he love us, if they deserve all our hate, love them muuuuch mooooore cz they really need it and we need to love. that's the reason cz he came

[AshChan19]

@gustranger Amen, i totally agree!!!! I watches this one movie/documentary called...Jesus, save us from your followers....about this guy, a christain, asking the world what they think of christians....they responded..they are hypocrytes, self righteous, mean, evil, blah blah,. u shuld watch it, its super good. it changed my whole view...not that i ever acted that way,

[ncPsychosis]

JESUS TAP DANCING CHRIST LMFAO....

the whole rejection part cracked me the fuck up.

[KookinKeith]

I had this experience last night, I was hanging out with my friends and I was the only Christian and I brought up the idea that I like to think as science as a way of finding God, and after that I just started to go everywhere and I realized that I wasn't really getting anywhere, and it made me look like an idiot that has no idea what he actually believes in lol. Somehow I got the idea that I do and I'm just not very good at talking about something like that out of nowhere.... :(

[ButterflyGuy777]

This was done with excellence. Really helpful in the witnessing area. That's why I have to die to me, and let the Holy Spirit doing the witnessing through me. I don't have all the right words, but He'll do the job through me, somehow, I know!

[familyafair]

Wow...that was great guys!

[Nades129]

[silvergriffon23]

I'm an Atheist and although I don't promote Christian beliefs, I wish more Christians were kinder like this guy (not in that cheesy way though). You know what I mean.

[terry54545454]

as a christian myself i agree with you. i dont know what the christans you know are like, but they realy should be more kind. if they are not kind then they probably get anoying right. i just wanted to let you know your comment realy encourages me. thanks a lot.

[ncPsychosis]

@terry54545454 should they really be more kind? Is that more conveneinet for your religion, is if Xians are more nice, and not humans in general? Will that make you look so much better?

Should cars emit rainbows instead of carbon monoxide?

Should guns shoot butterflies instead of bullets?

Should a virus cause happiness instead of disease?

Life is fucked up, get over it.

and instead of trying to promote kindness for your religious agenda, promote it for humans..dumb fuck.

[AshChan19]

@ncPsychosis i disagree. God is hope. I will not go back and look for the happiness i will never find, because it wont last. God is so amazing. He loves you soo much, its just amatter of you realizing it. hopefully one day, you will. Its a light we give to others who are in pain and into drugs and lost and such. i know youve beenn there, asking why my life is like this? we arent brainwashers, or forcers. its your choice, Hes there whenever ur ready. :) GOd Bless.

[ButterflyGuy777]

I know exactly what you mean, I've been to different churches all over, and a small hand full actually treat you, as Christ would, true love and interest in you. Instead of noticing you are the "new" person and saying "how are you, where are you from, blah blah" I've been to a couple that really follow up and want to be part of your life and really care. I hope that God will make me that Christian, because I don't want to be fake or cheesy.

[aquas999]

@silvergriffon23 well stop being athiest and be a christian ....

whats an athiest ?

[Domodeath]

@silvergriffon23 hi

[LydiaMakesMovies]

@silvergriffon23 I agree. I am a Christian and I know that a lot of Christians out there don't practice the whole LOVING part of our faith. You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar. Not that none believers are flies....but you know what I mean.

[mpw19962001]

Great video. @silvergriffon23 lol yeah. Were not all "unkind" but we definitely aren't all perfect. everyone sins, were just happy Jesus died to save us from that sin. He died for everyone...you, me, everyone. Have a great & epic life xD See ya ;)

[Svennusmax]

Wel Vofvars, 85% of all Christians and the Pope disagree with ya. But what do I know.

[Spartacus217]

Maybe he's not in church with you because he's still banging that hot bitch he met at the club the night before.

[tlndofa]

hey heaven is so empty drew,makes mary cry blood...

[vofvars]

thats why Christianity is not a Religion but a Way! didnt Jesus Himself say that he was the way the truth and the life? and he said all those who come through Him alone will have heaven! Now where on earth did He use 'religion' in that statement??? man people just make stuff up and create a religion. Christians are not those who follow Christianity but those who follow Crist!

GET IT STRAIGHT PEOPLE!!!!!

[russelgman]

saxquiz is right. no one was there in the beggining, and therefore no one knows how the world was created.

personally i believe that there is something controlling science as we know it, but its not christianity, buddhism, muslim, or any single religion that we invented.

religions are based off of stories and guesses.

[Cornampoo]

You believe there is something, like most 'non-believers' do... but how can you be sure its not Christianity or another religion? You - dont - know...

[Tributaz]

yes, and you dont know either! youre right, how can we be sure it isnt christianity or another religion? but the followers of those religions are basically taking a guess and following it. you dont know if those are the 'right religions' or not either

[Tributaz]

exactly!!! no one was there in the beggining, so now one knows how the world was created. thats the best way to put it.

[darkbarrage99]

the problem is when silly religious fanatics take things word for word and fanatical athiests refuse to allow any words to be spoken. genesis is filled with metaphors, which is why it can't be taken litterally word for word. for instance, 7 days could actually mean 7 stages, and for all we know, "adam and eve" were 3 hairs short of a baboon.

but how do we know whats right?

All I can say is give it a shot, but do it on your own. read a bible on your own

[Tributaz]

i used to be christian.  i went to a christian school because thats what my parents raised me to believe. since then i've developed my own views and i don't believe in it. that's it. also, i'm sorry for responding to this one year later.

[saxquiz]

It is kinda funny, but religions are all false.

[Cornampoo]

So what do you believe? Nothing? Live for fun? Die and disappear? Quite meaningless no?

[Tributaz]

maybe, and its not what i believe IN.....i just know for a fact that thats what happens. the only thing stopping me from just doing whatever i want is when im gone i dont want people to remember me in a bad way, even if it doesn't really matter in the end

[Cornampoo]

You came from nothing and go to nothing.. Whow, arent you depressive sometimes? Your life means nothing that way.. Only goal to be remembered like: he/she lived a good and meaningless life, just for fun..

[wburnlynch]

Funny and yet, so true.

[franknhonest]

The falseness is so obvious. Lame.

[Tributaz]

yup.

[tellmeeverything]

Jesus isn't a religion. this vid is gay.

[DDTOBY]

You're right, He's the way to life! Eternity is forever,& we're all gonna spend it somewhere, whether you believe in it or not. Personally, I plan on taking as many people with me as I can!

[DDTOBY]

God calls all believers to share their faith.Rehearse the plan of salvation w/ other believers so you'll be ready when you talk to a non-believer.If you don't know an answer,admit it!Promise to find the answer & get back to them or put them in touch w/someone who does,then follow up on it!Let your friend know believers aren't perfect,just forgiven-we make mistakes too.Remember,not everyone will accept Jesus.If your friend won't listen,find someone who will!

[DrBadvibes]

is that timothy mcveigh wearing the sunglasses? hahaha
