Rashan my brother, i know you probably had good intentions and i don't question your motives, but in my humble opinion, your attitude earlier was excessive and kinda wrong... I'm not judging you, i'm certainly not any better than you are, but if only you could soften a little, i'm sure that your words would have more reach.. You said earlier "Telling them to repent to avoid hellfife is love" and i agree with that, it is important to proclaim the truth BUT in compassion, benevolence, patience, gentleness and self-control... it is important to consider and respect others and their opinions, it's their freedom to believe or not and you don't have the power to change people by force or condemnation, nor you have any hopes of reaching them with harsh words either... Also, there's something MUCH more efficient than harshly telling people to repent, and that thing is called "prayers". If you truly love them and want them to be saved, then pray for them and their concerns, and don't forget to bless them as well in your prayers. Remember the Lord's compassion for prostitutes and thieves.. remember His mercy to the criminal on the cross "Verily i say unto thee, to day shalt thou be with me in paradise". And what did he say to Peter who took the sword against the romans ? "All those who live by the sword ( or violence ... physical or verbal because tongue can also be used to kill others ), will perish by the sword". Or when His apotles wanted to summon the fire of heaven to consumme those who rejected Him, He said "Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them"... One thing is certain though, the God that came in my house 11 years ago and entered my heart and my soul, was not there with a stick to beat me because i rejected Him during all these years of wandering... rather, He welcomed me in His presence, pressed me against His heart and told me how precious and valuable i was in His Eyes.. He was the sweetest, most loving, most magnificent and gracious Father and Friend that i had ever wanted.. His love has changed my heart of stone, chased away my darkness, my fears, my despair and filled my emptiness and loneliness... and it is our duty to love others in the same way, to bless our enemies and pray for those who despise us, to support afflictions silently, in the calm and humility.. and that doesn't mean that we are weak, on the contrary.. because to really love others is much much more difficult than hating on them... in order to be lights in this world of darkness and have a real impact on those who suffers and are hopeless.
As far as possible, let's be at peace with all men.
