Do you think it's hard to win people today because there is so much confusion between denominations and.......

People need to listen to the Spirit of God... if they would listen and seek him... instead doing their own will... there would be unity.\n\nPray for Christians to listen and seek the Holy Spirit... he alone can bring unity back.

Religions don't have to struggle that much. They find it easy enough to share their stories, and with every group you speak to probably about half of them will listen to the stories, and half of that half will probably believe the stories.\n\nIts not difficult to share the stories, its just that most people simply want everyone to believe what they believe because they think its true so everyone else should!!

Christians are successful and are very powerful in this world. Other groups of people want what we have but they know that inorder to get this kind of power they must convert and this is something they just will not do. So instead they have decided to unite against us.

Today, I think that most, if not all, organized religions are off the mark a bit.  To rephrase, while I am struggling with the notion of God, I know that I do not believe in the God that Jews, Christians, Muslims, and Bahai's belive in.  Today, I believe that if there is a God, that he/she/it pressed the "start button" and left us to work out the rest for ourselves.

Maybe both conversation and debate. Some people want to prove that Christians are wrong while others may be interested in what the religion has to say for itself. It's a confusing matter but people (even me) still participate in these topics.

That is a broad question, but personally I do not believe in denominations. The Bible says in PHI.2:3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. I believe that denominations do not promote the esteeming of others to yourself, rather they get hung up on the points and doctrines in which they differ. I believe that we as Christians should follow not the teachings of a particular church or denomination, but instead follow the teachings that are in the Bible.

I agree with you, I think 1/4 of America is christian and I frankly think it is odd that the most questions in this area are about christianity.  The only things that I can think of are:\n\n- Christians have the most questions\n- Christians are still very actively trying to convert folks and so are most vocal\n- maybe some Christians are so insecure that they need to constantly speak to other christians in order to keep their faith strong\n- perhaps our own most vocal christians here are so devoted to their religion that they can think of nothing else\n\nI am starting to get tired of the same questions over and over again, though, I can tell you.

probably the same reason they have so many denominations,different bibles,and differing\ninterpetations,to some of us folks thats just to much to keep up with,i mean they all cant be correct.and with differences comes condemnation\nsuch as what we saw with the recent denomination\nthat installed there first gay leader, or the denomination that installed there first female leader, all the rest condems there actions,\nso for most peace loving people there is to much hate and division within the ranks of religion\nso this causes desention thus leads to Agnostics

I have quite a few Christian friends.  I think if someone is narrow minded, it would make it difficult.  There are some subjects we can agree to disagree on, but allot of them have similar values as me and the ones I'm friends with don't try to convert me.  With mutual respect, of course it's possible!  :) Would you not be friends with me because I don't believe like you? Or is it all about the sects to you? :P

It depends on the attitude of the person I'm speaking to.  As long as they're not trying to convert me I'm open minded but as soon as someone tries to hand me a copy of watchtower or asks me to consider taking jesus into my heart after waking me up at 8am I get rather defensive.

sounds like you are annoyed from ppl trying to convert you...\n\nhehe... \nthats just the nature of all religions... they try to invite people.. but alot of people do not know how to do this and they tend to offend or persecute...

There's a lot of truth in that, pangel. There are conflicting views and beliefs regarding just about everything, but at some point, ideology and worship of some leader or another takes over and drowns out all reason. Most of the time, that ideology is religion.

well i am a Christian, and i first and foremost try to take in consideration that everyone i know or that may be in the conversation isn't a Christian.  I know from experience that many Muslims, Atheists, Catholics, etc...can hold a very educated conversation about religion, without ever believing in God, or the Christian God.  As long as the Christians involved can respect that the "non-Christian" people are not interested in converting, now nor ever, and do not try to force their faith or beliefs on them, then there should not be any problems.  but i can somewhat relate to what you are talking about, thats why religion, politics and money are 3 things i try to avoid talking about in abundancy.

It seems like there is so much discord in the church today,and every one is pushing their opinion.I believe the only way to over come this is through pray and the word of God,a lot of patience and kindness toward them all.And lets not forget love,it never fails.1 Cor.13

There are alot of confused people in this world. Catholicism IS a Christian denomination, just as Protestant, Lutheran, Methodist, Baptist, etc. are.

Avoid the false teachings of churches. They set people up. They preach and teach prosperity and blessings and then when it doesn't happen the people fall hard. True relations with God are quite different and not easy but the comfort is there. If you are truly seeking out God and need to talk you can e-mail me through my below website. I can't promise that I can help, but I try and genuinely care. I also am very busy but try to check e-mail daily. If not and I don't hear from you then best wishes in your life.
