As a Christian I've learned a lot, I know I'm not the person you want to hear this from but if not me then who?
I don't know if this is ageist the rules but I do know that god would want me to talk about my work.

So I recently traveled and fixed peoples roofs and painted. While I was working we went to this mans house to fix his roof, he didn't speak to us much but when we was in the middle of replacing the wood on the roof he came and told one of the girls working that his bathroom has been leaking water when it rained and so has a lot of his house, this man was around 60 years old and with him was we assumed to be his son who was around 25, we'll when I was working on the roof I saw the son meet up with another man that just pulled over in a car and they traded money, and a bag. Truthfully I knew what was in the bad and I knew it was wrong for me to judge so I didn't say anything. The neighborhood that we were in was bad enough anyways that I didn't feel that I needed to tell anyone from the church they already knew. I couldn't beleive that the son would rather mess with that bag then help the people from the church fixing his house. So I quit judging and we finished the house, neither of the men thanked us but we still made them food and helped them greatly, I'm glad that I got to help them because we very we'll may be the only people from god they have ever seen.
The thing was that night at worship I realized that people may not always want to be open with Christians because they know that a lot of Christians are judgemental and would think wrongly of them throughout there whole conversation so maybe that's why no one offered to help us, nor thanked us. Not because they didn't care but because a lot of Christians give out a really bad image. I feel very sad that people wouldn't want to speak to us because of what others have done/said to them. Maybe one day they will realize that every Christian isn't as bad as they think.
While we were inside of worship there was a story that stuck out to me so I'll tell it
-There was this family at church and a new family came in and say right behind the other family the other family said to them "you can't sit here this is our friends seat" my pastor thought to him self "wow, in a place of god you have no seat. Learning about god it shouldn't matter who you sit with, if anything you should sit with the new family to make them feel welcomed" them and there I thought you know what he's right.. When your a Christian you should be open and not want to stick around with other Christians all the time you should really be with others to help other people become a Christian, because really if your not your not taking in the full name as a Christian.

See when jesus was here he wasn't worried about staying with the people who were already converted he was more worried about converting others to Christianity. That's how Christians should be,We shouldn't be judging and telling others your unwanted because god would never say that to anyone, you should really only care about the broken people and devote your life to helping those who are broken, because without god no ones fully together.

I'm not going to go on and tell anyone not to fight with me, but of course I would rather talk with you about the one who saved my life.

im a christian too, so i respect your faith

HOWEVER, and this is a big however, i dont believe you should try to spread the message to random strangers.

i believe that trying to preach to people now will just close doors for them. share the word with friends, not other people who dont even know you.

this post may cause someone to think of all christians as shove-the-gospel-down-your-throat kind of people, and thats not what we want

the internet isnt a place to try to convert people. its not real enough, you cant talk face to face

One more thing to all the Christians out there.


Don't brag about new phone or money, brag about Jesus because how much do you have to hate someone not to let them into heaven?

@hill you aperently didn't read my post at all this wasn't even a shove it in your face post I'm simply trying to talk to people about my experience with god, and I spread my religion at home and around the world also.

I just want to tell everyone about how god had changed my life and can change there's also.
If your Christian don't you want to spread the word also? Even if it isn't face to face because I'm telling you this, a lot of these people don't have someone willing to help them to god. I want to help everyone everywhere not just around me.

what i mean by closing doors is that this post may start a flame war, which may get people angry, which may result in people associating christianity with anger

i respect that you want to spread the good news, but roblox is not the right way to go about it. it does more harm than good

@amazing you are exactly right, but Christians are no better then anyone else if they think that, they should be humble and think less of them selfs and more about others
