Misunderstanding between Christians/non-christians
-
How to avoid misunderstanding between Christians/non-christians? As a Christian, my suggestion for forummers are:
1) For Christians: Avoid giving non-christians the impression that we are too pushy when sharing with them the good news.
2) For Non-Christians: As much as u do not like Christians to be pushy, avoid bringing down the faith of Christians also.
I am sure we can work some form of discussion/dialogue out between Christians/non-christians. This can encourage us to be more open and receptive to each other. -
Your line 2 above says it all.
Even if it ain't being pushy, imagine a simple conversation, always slowly diverging towards faith of the religion. Its sickening you know. -
wah, why the sudden explosion of threads?
anyway, i dont mind pushy christians, or peeps who cried out 'Hallelujah!' in the middle of a conversation or lessons..(real life story)..
but, i dont like people condemning other people faiths to justify or push up one's faith
that goes for some peeps in this forums
in the other news, i dont see the need to come in to question every part of point in the christian theology or doctrine
such exercise is pretty tiring....especially to readers as well... -
i agree with u....it is pretty tiring to talk abt theology....gives one accelerated heart beat and a big headache...Originally posted by laurence82:wah, why the sudden explosion of threads?

No lah.
There is no misunderstanding. It's a mutual thing. I also have non Christian ppl preaching me their religion, even telling me not to eat meat. They are a lot more pushy than the Christians in their preaching. But too bad, I have to reject them flat. -
lol, today i was explaining to my classmates on why we don't eat meat on Fridays...

we had an outing on a friday at marche long time ago
the Bear contemplated pork knuckles with his Guiness
he said if he did that, he is going to finish the whole thing, stand up and have a cardiac arrest

Actually, you can eat meat on Friday, but you have to give up something that you like to do on that day, or you can also do penance.Originally posted by laurence82:we had an outing on a friday at marche long time ago

The main idea is to remember the sacrifice of Jesus, and not so much as to torture yourself. By giving up something we like to do/eat, we remember Him. -
I find this very contradictory...can eat meat but must do penance....Originally posted by SingaporeMacross:Actually, you can eat meat on Friday, but you have to give up something that you like to do on that day, or you can also do penance.
