Why do people think they have to believe in Jesus

@CrystalSkull Nominally a Christian Country, and with religious assemblies every day at school, most were indifferent to the Christian message. The churches were empty in the late sixties onwards.

My father hated all things Christian. So no Christian background.

It’s a challenge then, an open invitation.

@SW-User What’s a challenge? I’m not following.

@CrystalSkull To become a Christian.

@SW-User we’ll we had that at school as well as well as Sunday services and all that, bu and large in my community it worked.

@CrystalSkull The only church when I grew up that I knew indoctrinated kids, was the Catholic church/school. Not all Christians have been indoctrinated. I did not grow up Catholic and I did not go to the Catholic school. Even though I had attended the Baptist Church and Lutheran Church, I did not base my beliefs in God on that. I studied and read God's Word for myself, studied different ways that people believe in this world, but I made up my own mind, as to what I believed and whom I believe in, based on God's Word. God is no liar. A person just can't go wrong trusting in Him and His truths. There's a lot of false teachers in this world. God warns against them. I have been a follower of Christ for the last 50 years and I wouldn't change a thing.

@LadyGrace that’s great for you. My point wasn’t that all kids are indoctrinated, my point was that if you grow up within certain belief systems you’re more likely to follow them as an adult. Regardless of the sect of Christian faith you still grew up in that society. So if for example you were born in the middle of Africa that practise different ancestor worship you’d be way more inclined to follow that belief system. Or if you were born in China etc.
