I don't know . . .. I'll see.
Makes me feel bad when I hear about guilt being forced on people . . . who ever is doing that is not following the teachings of Christ. That's the way of misguided humans.
What you said is exactly what Jesus taught . . . plant the seed. That's the parable of the wheat field.
To Christian who thinks he/she can go out and use guilt or whatever is just not working the word of Jesus. I tell too forceful evangelicals to read the parable of the wheat field, or the parable of the Good Shepard. I believe people should come to the light because they like what they see . . . not out of guilt.
Tell ya the truth, it really irritates me that what Jesus clearly stands for as outline clearly in the New Testament has been twisted and perverted by man/womankind over the centuries. I would guess that a close reading of the New Testament would show that making someone feel guilty was not something Jesus would do.
Jesus always used love and respect in gathering people to him . . . not guilt.
