Re: Talking about religion - September 21st 2012, 07:05 AM

[quote=Megan1;947637]I don't mind knowing what other people believe. When I said I wouldn't talk about it "out of curiosity", I guess I meant I wouldn't talk about it with the possibility of changing what I believe or caring about other beliefs. It is nice to know about them just so I'm not clueless while witnessing to people of that religion. It will help me to know how to reach them. I don't respect false religions or anything that goes against my God, so I wouldn't be listening because I care about their religion...but I would be listening because I care about the person, and knowing what they believe will help me to know how to share Jesus with them.

p.s. I don't try to bring people to Jesus to make them happy (though that's a plus). I try to bring people to Jesus to save their souls.[/QUOT

Im sorry but really? really? to save their souls? Yeah thats fine and dandy but shouldn't our salvation bring us happiness and joy? I mean how do you try and convert people, do you tell them that they are damned to hell if they don't? That might be a little forward but that's what im gathering from what you have said. And what about all those people who werent able to learn about Christ while they were alive, what about the people who didnt have an opportunity to learn? I mean, I have that answer but I'm just wondering if you do?
