I don't know about that one; it might lead to a visit from the Sheriff. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe in some parts of America; but I'm British. That double meaning would not even have occurred to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know; I could tell by the emoji. It's just that parts of America are a lot more violent than Britain, and that kind of joke would probably not occur to most of us (I'm not complaining; it's just an observation). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I refuse to live or work in Democratic countries. I also conceal carry a firearm on the rare occasion that I have to travel to or though one of their communities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, what about this? "Jesus gave you the gift of life and promises you immortality in paradise for eternity if you will simply follow him and his commandments. Would you like that? I can help make that a reality for you!" Hi Not of the World, Lots of good ideas here. My thoughts are - `If you died right now, where would you go?` `If what you believe were not true, would you want to know it?` Marilyn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, what about this? "Jesus gave you the gift of life and promises you immortality in paradise for eternity if you will simply follow him and his commandments. Would you like that? I can help make that a reality for you!" First pray and ask Him for the words in each situation. I do not think a single generic line is useful to use on all people. 11 hours ago, Not of the World said: I wonder. Is it easier to convert an atheist or someone who has an entirely different faith system, such as Islam or "spiritualists"? That implies the conversion is something we do. The Lord opens hearts so I do not think there is a difference in difficulty. The blind and lost are blind and lost no matter what alternative faith or lack of faith they have. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they see you. They see you making the right choices and doing the right things. It might take years but eventually they'll realize you were on the correct path leading to God. And perhaps they will choose to emulate the example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
