Friend who doesnt want to have a religion

davidche SG

The reason he gives is because he doesnt want to face rules and restrictions.

caleb_chiang SG

Then if you can't change his thinking, respect him. Wink

the Bear SG

well, religions are personal..

it's his choice isn't it?

best evangelisation? live your life right such that it is an inspiration of him to want to be something you are..

brow-beating him or bible-thumping isn't going to do anything except drive him away

davidche SG

I try to do an analogy here.

If you dont think that yoga is good for you, you feel that you are wasting time doing it.

If you believe that Yoga is good for you, you dont see it as a waste of time.

unker and ben and silly, care to give your opinions for/on my analogy?

FireIce SG

yeah! im agnostic

life is good

laurence82 SG

and the pt is?

what is the most sucessful method to convert him?

why he is so like that?

i dont feel good about it, what can i do?

what???

davidche SG

nope actually, because i know what will result in constant forceful preeching. Causing him to be severely against christianity.

laurence82 SG

and so the pt of this topic is?

sillyme SG

And?

Have you been nagging at him? Or you made him think that life with a religion is boring?

You post this thread to ask for "answers" so as to convince him right?

We cannot give you the answers. The answer is with you. Have you been a good testimony of God?

Father Lim SG

i support your fren…

airgrinder SG

even if u believe Yoga is good for you, and you dun see as a waste of time doesn't mean you'll do it.

exercising and eating is good for me, and i wun be wasting time doing it, but i prefer to eat buffets, and surf sgforums.

SingaporeMacross SG

ah, let him be lah.

missqi SG

knn why are you so kpo?
if people don't want to do yoga, or want to do other forms of exercise, or whether they choose to exercise or not, why do you bother?
what business is it of yours if they choose yoga, or other forms of sport, or not do any exercise at all?

Do you not know that many closed their doors for Christainity because of forceful preeching and insultings of what they believe in????

Those so called people who cause these... Don't insult Christ and call yourself a Christain.

M©+square SG

Wah, it's getting hot in here.

Laughing TS feeling the flame.

airgrinder SG

yup. Got an acquaintance who ask me out under a pretense of a business discussion. She ask if i really believe in buddha, monkey god, all that. She say all those are rubbish created by ancient people. She say there is only one true religion, Christianity.

She then ask me to go her church. Me say not free, she ask me go her cell group, meet her very good cell group leader. I was quite hot headed then and bickered with her.

Perhaps one truly believe there is only one religion and this is the one, there is no need to put down other religions. For every strong believer like her, there is an equally strong believer in another religion.

From then onwards I didn't have the best impression of Christians when they're talking abt their faith.

ben1xy SG

My own opinion is that, well yes. You can share your faith with him. We've all been commissioned. But do it in a non-intrusive manner. And if he doesn't accept, back off. If you keep pressing him, conversely, he will grow to dislike Christianity. We have got to learn to respect the choices of people and their freewill i guess.

Beyond that, live a life worthy of Christ and be a beacon of light that shines brightly for him. And when people see that, they might be drawn to the faith. I have known some people who converted. After a few months, the family sees the changes in the person... and because of that, they converted. Very Happy

It's not an easy decision to decide on what actually is evangelisation. Personally, my gf and i have had numerous heated arguments on this issue. But my advise remains. In everything you do, reflect Christ

spycampers SG

People have each of their way of thinking.
Religion is by own free will.
if people dun want to believe so be it.

U got problem with that???
