Christians, How Do You React When An Unbeliever Preaches To You? by winner01(m): 11:30am On Aug 20, 2016 |
Good day my brothers and sisters in Christ, how do you feel when you are approached by an unbeliever. Personally, I believe a real Christian should be happy that he has the chance to save a lost soul by reasoning together and discussions backed with intercessions. Ive been approached by several muslim friends and was more than happy to hear them out and then present the Gospel of salvation to them. A few of them are saved today by the grace of God. I've never been approached by a neutral atheist but I've had discussions with atheist friends and colleagues. I hope an atheist extends his/her evangelism to me offline soon so that we can really have a hearty discussion. Trust me, its always better when you show this people how void their logic is, face to face such that any honest atheist leaves with even more questions about his own stand. Its unthinkable that a Christian will be angry at an oppourtunity to preach the gospel. I mean, this is a direct order from God to all christians. Jesus preached the gospel everywhere he went and he is our standard. I believe our life, actions and words should preach the gospel anytime anywhere. It's next to impossible to get recorded videos of angry atheists as proof of atheist intolerance, but I stumbled on the videos of some angry atheists online recently and decided to post the Videos here. Some of them were caught and recorded live on camera. One threathened to kill a preacher that approached him, another threathened to hack any preacher that approaches her to death. Note: Please do not watch the video if you are easily offended by insults, some really serious foul languages and heavy swearing were used by the atheists therein. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ulkFhAmE6M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUJKp7lQW-k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGIvqDKAD5g These atheists above just need a little bit of power to become the next Mao, Stalin, Pot e.t.c I think many muslims also share such intolerance as the above, personally I've witnessed such muslims. Its sad that there is so much hatred and anger in the world. Love is actually all we need to get along. Jesus said in the book of John chapter 13: "This is My commandment, that you love one another as I loved you." He reiterates in few verses later: "This is My command to you: Love one another." Galatians 5:14 tells us about the prime Law. "The entire Law is fulfilled in a single decree: "Love your neighbor as yourself." I believe if we loved more, the world will be a better place. So Christians, whats your reaction when unbelievers approach you? cc: KingEbukasBlog, Richirich713, thoniameek, anas09, Tufanja, elantraceey, OLAADEGBU, KingEbukaNaija, ceeted, Chidexter, lezz, analice107, bxcode, Topeakintola, UyiIredia, Tellemall, vooks, Ishilove, sukkot, gatiano, mrpresident1, Drefan2, Strawman, dazzle101, lalasticlala, seun, Dejideji1, Farmerforlife, muafrika2, 4evergod2, udysweet, Edelweiss44, naijadeyhia, honourhim, kilo4sure, lordnicklaus, mabea, AlphaDex, felixomor, pidggin 5 Likes 2 Shares |

There is a predominantly Muslim residential/commercial settlement here where Muslim experts skilled in both bible and Quran set a high chair in the middle of the street and dare any Christian to take it and answer their tough questions. I think you'd do well 1 Like |

DeSepiero:Thank God you aren't dissapointed. I bet you came into a harmless christian thread to spread some anger. Just relax, this is an atheist section in proxy, its the least we can do for baby christians who are naive and think it is a religion section. The body corroborates the title. It asks the reactions of christians and shed some light on the reactions of atheists. I guess this was what y'all meant by being outspoken 1 Like |

Winner01 in the second video the girl that made these 2 statements shows demonic activity and reaction. 1) I HATE YOU 2) YOUR SIGN OFFENDS ME Her outbursts were totally unprovoked and just hated the man and his sign and went ballistic. Atheism is demonic. You forgot to cc 2 other people so let me help with that. Cloudgoddess; for saying the world would be better without religion. She is a self acclaimed scientist and here is scientific proof that the world would do better without atheism...Note that she never presented any scientific proof to her claims.

naijadeyhia:Atheists dont make statements based on scientific findings, but based on emotions. Cloudgoddess is a pseudoscientist who believes that humanity came from slime and rocks and then blind processes began to direct themselves meaningfully and thus created intelligence. It is not real science, we know who real scientists were/are and what they believed in. I want to know what the theory of evolution has done for humanity. Science is not blind, these ones want to make it their god. Atheists usually let their emotions get the better part of them. Its never about logic. |

winner01:But their "obsession" is usually limited. Most atheists; after a while, usually contend themselves with silence and staying in the background after realizing the futility of continous arguments. You, on the other hand, continue to "preach" against atheists, in a horribly misjudged fashion. Chill, sire. Take a break from the religious section, open a thread somewhere else. Your profile is chock-filled with threads on Atheism and nothing on the Christianity you claim to practice. All in all, Just Chill. 2 Likes |

In conclusion, our investigation of religion and intelli- gence in a large sample of US adults had the important strength of assessing religious belief on a wide variety of measures, as well as controlling for the effects of openness, which may have confounded findings in previous work. We observed that intelligence was negatively associated with five of the six measures of religion, and most strongly with fundamentalism, although effect sizes were typically modest. In addition, openness positively predicted the spiritual elements of religion, but was negatively associated with fundamentalism (Lewis et al, 2011). 1 Like |

I shudder to think of what will happen if his kid or anyone close to him turned out to be unsatsified with faith. And what's funny is that it's from most of the deeply religious homes that most people turn out to be atheistic . 2 Likes |
