Originally posted by NeonTetra:God honours our faith. Practice it, do not be ashame to call upon the name of the Lord. But in the process of it, love your neighbours as yourselves.
For a non-believers to rejoice in the name of Jesus, is to seek impossible.
what else can i say?
true....but love without actions is of no use. Need to go next door say 'i luv u' infact that is equally sick...thru daily conversations, encounters such love is expressed.Originally posted by the Bear:it is right...
however, do you have any right to make people "rejoice" with you?
love your neighbours but are you going to go there and physically accost them? do you go next door and tell them "I LURVE YOU!!"
well, imagine someone doing that to you.. and imagine that being done to a non-believer or someone who has another faith..
would you want someone from another faith to do that to you in the name of their god or deity?
if not, don't do it to others!
if you think you have the right and impose your faith on others while feeling pissed off that others impose their on you, aren't you just a hypocrite?

When Christ came to earth, the love of God in human flesh...do ppl welcome Him? they also see it as an imposition.
Originally posted by fugue:Watch your language guys, or you might be accused of preaching!
yes...i agree with u on thisOriginally posted by the Bear:did He force himself on those who did not welcome Him?
if the Son of God did not force Himself on the unbelievers, what right do we have to force ourselves on them?
our PRIDE??
Originally posted by NeonTetra:yes...i agree with u on this
i stop them? i cant because i am not them. all i can is to let them know.Originally posted by the Bear:then stop those who impose themselves on others in the name of God!
for in reality, they are forcing people AWAY from God and in that way are doing Satan's work...

You can teach a man to fish but it's up to him whether he wants to learn or not.Originally posted by the Bear:ahh.. here you can.. they share your faith...
