I completely Agree with Airmax and Suby_rue, we shouldn't force our beliefs on anyone.
I try not to force my beliefs, just voice them because;
Ezekiel 33:2
2Son of man, speak to your countrymen and say to them: 'When I bring the sword against a land, and the people of the land choose one of their men and make him their watchman,3and he sees the sword coming against the land and blows the trumpet to warn the people, 4then if anyone hears the trumpet but does not take warning and the scord comes and takes his life, his blood will be on his own head. 5Since he heard the sound of the trumpet but did not take warning, his blood will be on his own head. if he had taken warning, he would have saved himself.6 But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes the life of one of them, that man will be taken away because of his sin but I will hold the watchman accountable for his blood.
God says "son of man" thats me, and so he is telling me to tell others about him, even if they don't listen. As much as i wish they did, thats on them now.
As far as the "condemning Christian" stereotype, thats not a christian that is walking in Gods Will. Example:
Matthew 8:11
11When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, "why does your teacher eat with tax collecttors and 'sinners'?" 12 On hearing this, Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 13 But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.
We as christians should be humble and merciful. Sometimes I think we get this superiority complex, but its so far from the truth. The Book of Romans says "All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God". We all screw up, we all make mistakes, we are all human. But the great news (which translates to 'the Gospel') is that God Loves us, all of us, more than we can comprehend. The Classic verse that most everyone knows, John 3:16 "For God so LOVED the world That he sent his only son, that who so ever believes in him, won't die, but have ever lasting Life. God did not send his son in to the world to condemn the world but that the world, through him might be saved".
Look, I'll be the first to admit, I don't know everything. I don't have all the answers. Honestly, I haven't even read the entire Bible, although most of it. But I do know that God Loves me, and that his plan is for me to prosper. I'm done debating because I feel like I've been pretty clear on how I feel and what I believe. But if anyone is interested in knowing anymore about this God thing and what its all about, PM me. I'll try my best to answer any questions and try to help you understand who God is.
God Bless, Guys![]()
