I don't know much about D. L. Moody but I heard an interesting story, centered around him once.

To be short, He was walking down a street/road and someone called out with something similar to "There is a convert of yours over here destitute and sleeping in a ditch beside the road!"

Moody replied with something like, "He must be my convert because if he was Jesus', he wouldn't be in a ditch." and continued walking.

May the Lord of Truth open your eyes. <3

If you believed that anyone who doesn't believe what you believe is doomed to an eternity of torture you'd be an asshole to not shove your beliefs down everyone's throats.


this is pretty ridiculous

3rd: 1 year there was the same as 30min with my ppl
4th: 8 years there was the same as 4 hour with my ppl
5th: self imploded(mixed)

i told a leader in the 4th church. He calls me back the next day and told me my ppl didnt give him full acceptance at a session he went to.
i told him, tell me about it brother cause i've been watching this DvD for the last decade

guess wat christian divorce rate is higher than general divorce rate

Thankfully we can all divide into many groups with our own churchs.

So I'm not religious, I'm not anti-religion... but i wasn't raised in a religious family and I've never been to church.

I don't hide it, I'm open about my beliefs, however, I never claim anyone to be wrong about theirs...

My question is, Why is it every time I admit I've never been to church and that I am not religious do christians get offended... They take it as a sleight against god and their religion.

I NEVER get offended when people push their beliefs on me, I NEVER try to disprove people's religious beliefs... but whenever I admit to a christian that I am not religious they take offense.

Am I just meeting the wrong people, or is it in the bible that if someone does not believe in god that, as a good christian, you should try to change their beliefs?

this is a serious question, please no spam.


If someone is not in Christ, their nature is Antichrist. There are only 2 ways, the mark of the beast, and the mark of the living God.

"He who is not with me is against me" -Jesus

Of course anyone can come to salvation in Christ with an honest heart. I for example, was not raused Christian, and was far from God, but now I serve Him.

I almost find myself agreeing with this, but not quite....

I've had the same problems as the OP. Some people are just really insecure, and i completely agree with a lot of the other things people have said.
People should be open and love all.

Probably some of the best lines i've heard someone say was something along the lines that God see's all of our faults and temptations. He see's the nonbelievers and knows their struggles. But he doesn't give up on you, and he'll never give up on you. Because he knows what you're going through. :D

Idk, im not really that religious myself. I used to be, just really confused right now. :\

almost anyone would

hell, look at islam, if you told them you didn't take part in their religion (which i dont beleive a relationship with Christ IS a religion but that's beside the point) they'll lop your head off

but you could also be taking concern to be offense. We know the truth, and we feel for those who are lost


Sorry but this is a totally ignorant statement. I wouldn't "lop your head off."

This is like me relating your religion with your extremists. Obviously all Christians act like the Westboro Baptist Church members.

Its not our duty to judge. I leave that up to GOD.


this. Maybe we are all so separated that we are all wrong. The day will come that we all find out.
