Evangelical FREE, silly.

Really? Well why are you on Gaia? You know this site is a sin, right?
There's gambling, almost murder, homosexuality, demons, tattoos and peircings, sex, oh the temptation, you could name so much :0

Why am I on Gaia? I got on here in HS, when my faith was still luke warm. I joined an SoT guild for fans of my favorite author and stay on to socialize with them.

Besides, moral objections to something doesn't make me flee. I'm not one of "those" Christians.

Making excuses for your sins? Tisk tisk tisk...

I thought you were supposed to go against sin? Not play with it.

Stop using this time to chat. You have evidence you are being asked to present.

It matters not. When I was Christian, I saw people bash God many times however I didn't act rudely to him and claim to defend him. I also saw fellow Christians use God as a tool. That's why I don't like it when other people act like they are God's mouthpiece.

As Christians, we do have the responsibility to be representatives of God and His works. And how are Christians to teach and spread the word without voicing from what God has already said?

If I recall, in Mark 11:15-17 notes how Jesus came into one of the temples to find men selling offerings. This was against God's teachings and an insult unto Him and the faith, so Jesus marched in there and corrected them. It's the one time in the Bible where you actually see Jesus angry. He defended God, His word, and His temple in doing so:

Mark 11:15-17 King James Version

And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the
tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold
doves, And said unto them, "It is written, My house shall be
called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of
thieves!"

Defending God, His word, His temple, and the way of His teachings... I don't see anything wrong with that. As with any action, there's a proper and improper way of doing this. But the intent of defending that which is sacred onto you itself is not wrong in the least.

It's between God and the person in question. Spirituality and believing in God or many Gods is a personal battle. Outside forces need not get involved. There should not be a third person involved in the conversion of another person. It isn't a 3 way conversation.

Also, KJV isn't a good version to use. Since the KJV actually adds onto the Bible whereas NIV takes away the added stuff. And NIV is better to understand.

Again, show where Jesus ever forced the idea of God on someone. Last I checked, he merely talked to people and let the decision be up to them instead of saying "Convert or burn in hell".

That last part is true. He did only talk to others, but that's Jesus. Not us. He told US to go out and give His Word to others.

By following in his example, which also means not forcing belief onto people like you are doing.

Stop giving us a bad name.

I'm not FORCING anything.

They probably don't even have sermons. I'm guessing they get leaflets.

I never said, "BELIEVE ME OR PARRISH". I just gave my opinion and then replied to your questions. Please, how is THAT forcing?
