religion: something you should keep to yourself?

There is so much religious stuff on here and being pagan myself, I was raised to not cram it down peoples throats. I dont know if its a Christian thing to constantly bombard people with it and act like its the only religion out there and look down on others who dont conform to it but I think religion would be much more tolerated if people kept it to themselves like people used to do and really should start doing again with politics.
You never really used to know what someones political opinions were, but now people seem to just shout it to anyone dumb enough to listen.

Just some things you should keep somewhat to yourself or people you are close with

God tells us in the Bible that we need to go to the ends of the earth and proclaim the good news that Jesus, God's Son died and took our sins on his own shoulders, and we have all sinned and need his forgiveness. He rose from the dead, and when the whole world has heard, that's the end, and then he is comes back to judge the living and the dead!

@Carazaa yeah people already know about Jesus and all that. If people haven't got more into it after that, nobody needs others to preach at them. Just my opinion

@Torsten Many many do not know.

@Carazaa seriously? Im sure most dont know all of it but jesus dying for your sins and resurrected? People know. so many just dont care and have their own beliefs

@Torsten she is right. Many people need to learn. I don't know anything about Christianity. I never read a Bible. I don't mind people posting about religions. It's better than nudity , pornography and catfish stuff.

@littlepuppywantanewlife you lost me when you said people need to learn. They dont need to learn about religion

littlepuppywantanewlife · 31-35, M

@Torsten you don't decide for other people. 😂😂

Torsten · 36-40, M

@littlepuppywantanewlife and you do?

littlepuppywantanewlife · 31-35, M

@Torsten see. It's upto them. If you don't like the idea. Just mute or block them.

Torsten · 36-40, M

@littlepuppywantanewlife when you say "people need to learn", that isnt leaving it up to them that is you telling people what to do and now you contradict yourself by saying its up to them. which one is it?

@Torsten People need to learn how to get their prayers heard, and answered!

@Torsten The great majority of people on Earth have heard of Jesus but do not know the teachings and do not know God personally. This is what evangelism is all about. Just because you have heard about Christianity does not mean that you truly understand what is taught.
I have read many articles on Hinduism and I have had many religious discussions with Muslims but I would be a fool to say that I actually understood everything because I don't.
Most people who have heard about Jesus don't even get the basic concepts correct.

Yes, it is commanded that the Brethren teach one another of the Blessings and Sacrifice of Christ.@Torsten @Carazaa

@Carazaa This is true, but also that those who don't accept, when you walk away, kick the dust from your shoes. I will discuss my faith and the reasons for it with anyone who wishes, if they don't, then I let it go. What I have found in discussing issues with people who are atheists or agnostic, is that they have a snippet about something like why I eat shrimp when it is forbidden in the old testament. They don't have any idea about old and new covenant. If I can discuss with them the differences and show how they were misled, it opens a door. If I just wear them out with scripture, it closes the door. I have a problem with anyone who tries to tell me what I should believe, even other Christians at times. I grew up with in a Pentecostal Church, gambling was a sin, drinking was a sin, jewelry was being prideful, as I studied on my own, I can find no place where wagering is a sin, and there are plenty of church raffles that are the same thing, a few dollars to maybe win one of Mrs. May's homemade pies or a new study bible. Drunkenness is a sin, but a few drinks, I can't find it. I enjoy reading your posts, you have a passion for setting out the word. Though even Christ knew not all would be saved.

@Roadsterrider I think Pentecostal churches trust in experience and feelings too much. I do what God tells me to do.
