Romans 10:14
How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching...
*Sometimes there is a lot expected from the unbeliever to even a growing Christian. People want to throw the book, (Bible in this case), as if the person is in an interrogation room and force them to adhere to what it is saying, but how can u expect such a thing when that person may not have nearly as much familiarity with God and His capabilities as you? Better yet, as a seasoned believer, u may want to evaluate your witnessing behavior and your love walk if u are behaving in this manner. We can't go around telling people what they can't and cannot do unless God has specifically given us the words and methods of doing so. U also need to live the walk yourself. If how u approach someone contradicts what u stand for, be it positive or negative, this could have negative representation not just on u but on the Father as well. When u know better, u do better; therefore, your method of witnessing needs to come from God with love and not contradict what u are saying, (E.g, Constantly representing or admiring a secular nature while trying to show others the way). Also, if u are an unbeliever or believe and do not practice your faith as you should, how can u criticize someone that is truly trying to help u better yourself if u refuse to fully investigate God? U can't critique a method if u don't investigate where that person is coming from, or if you are unaware of what the Bible is truly about...Let's consider each other's feelings before we start throwing the book at people. There is a time and place for everything (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8)...Even Jesus knew when to use a stern demeanor, but He mostly walked in love.
