Bible Discussion Thread

Hi everyone ,im wondering if other Christians have similar feelings to me ,most of my friends and family are atheists ,they know im not ,ive tried over the years to bring God into conversation but no one is interested ,the problem i have is that i care very much about these people and my greatest wish is for them to know what i know but they dont want it and as time goes on some of them are getting quite old and actually dying,this gets me down a bit ,i want them all to live as long as possible so that they are still alive when Christ returns and hopefully they will very quickly realise whos has been loving them and who will continue to love them and they will follow Him ,anyone have similar thoughts ? feelings ? When some one i love dies without knowing Christ its much more painfull than when a commited Christian dies ,i thhink so any way .

You are not alone Sacha. I have the same strife in my world. Nobody cares or wants to hear it. Slag the Gospel without knowing it. Too frightened to let go of the material word we are in. I hear it every day "fairy tales" "Big man in the sky"

Unfortunately people love to sin ( we ain't immune to that of course ) but not willing to be accountable or come to the Lord in repentance or even give it a chance. I feel alone in my family but I know I'm not alone at the same time.

Patience and a good testimony. It can be hard I Know.

David ,you are definately not alone ,not for one second ,i also think that many people are afraid of the Truth and dont want to know about it because they think they will have to completely change their lives and give up everything that they enjoy and they dont want to do that , i enjoy watching films ,music ,reading novels even the odd glass of wine ,i know that all these things are just distractions and as long as i dont get too distracted by them its ok for me to enjoy them occasionally ,materialism is a big problem for a lot of people i think ,our whole society seems obsessed with buying bigger and better and more of mostly unsatisfying junk as far as i can tell ,i get genuinely sad when some one i know and like gets a bit obsessed with wanting the latest phone or a better car etc,if i honestly believed that that was all there was to life ,the getting of more stuff and nothing else ,i think i would put an end to it all .I have said to one or two people something like ,if you die tomorrow what use will all your stuff be to you ? Your family will either bin it or use it themselves ,whoever i say that to they look at me as if im the idiot . You are not alone David ,stay strong and be happy in the Truth ,no one can take it from you and no one can take you away from it.
