Why defend ourselves

[Mr TB]

Of course not. We don't have to prove anything. People argue for
the sake of arguing but since their arguments are poor, they haven't
turned anyone away from religion. .

The argument is not even about the existence of god.

The question actually is am i willing to be held accountable in front of the most fair judge for my actions on earth?

The non-christian refuse to accept accountability, whilst the christian accept such accountability, understand his/her position is hopeless, and is justified by faith in christ crucifiction and by grace receives eternal life...the non-christian because of his/her rebellion eternal death...

[The_Librarian]

We, as Christians, must set examples to the rest of the world.

This is very difficult, as the rest of the world won't understand why.

This also includes the task of telling other people about the Lord, and what He means for you. BUT it does NOT give you the right to FORCE your beliefs down other people's throats.

If they are not interested, let them be. After all, how would you feel if an agnostic, Wiccan, Pagan or whatever decides to force his/her belief onto you? Jesus did the same - He did not forced others to believe in Him, but simply proved by example.

Yes i indeed agree with you and although i may seem like a rude bum sometimes i am learning to defend the faith. You will agree there are a lot of blatant lies concerning G-D thumped into this forums and nothing is said...

The "bible quotes" section for instance is good example...
