I don’t know where to post this, but the Lord has been laying it on my heart for the past few days to tell people about Jesus. This burden is so strong that I have felt sick and very desperate to reach out to others and tell them about Jesus. I asked my Pastor if there were any ministries I could do through my church to serve God, but all he said to me was that if there was anything, he’d let me know. God has been driving me to serve Him so bad that I don’t think I can wait much longer for an answer from my Pastor, I am desperate here and I don’t think he understands just how urgent it is to witness to the lost. People are dying and going to Hell. That is no laughing matter.
So I am going to write a post and witness to the lost on here…
Hi Jacqueline. Welcome to the Straight Dope Message Board. I am a Christian, and I have found that approaching non-believers with bible verses is not an effective way to change their minds. You are arguing from an authority that a non-believer has no reason to recognize.
I object to the “only way” tenet. I think God is capable of making himself felt in many ways to many peoples and that Christians don’t necessarily have a monopoly on salvation.
I opened this up because I thought it was going to be a funny rant about missionaries coming to the door. I had a sinking feeling when I saw the join date. Skimmed it anyway. Oh well.
Please observe fair use guidelines about copy/paste from other sources. I also recommend you link to your sources. If you’d like to post and discuss original content feel free.
A lot easier to clean up, too! Makes me wonder why that didn’t happen… Also, I missed the part of the OP that was deleted, but what’s left hardly qualifies as an opening post, does it?
will have a hard time proving your beliefs because it is a proven fact that everything thought ,taught ,read, wrote, or said comes from the mind or pen of another human being, plus there are many different ways to look at Christianity. If (in my belief )
God wants peole to believe in something he wouldn’t need another himan to teach them. A being that knows all things ahead of time must want people to follow their own course. Because God would have known Satan would turn on him and then on his human children it must be something he wanted or wants.
