Oftentimes we must go through people who can be quite ugly in order to reach the people who are willing to be reached (and that who those initially unwilling).
With regard to evangelizing I don’t look at it as pushing God on people -I look at it as giving a message to people who in many instances never new a yearning for truth ever existed within them.* I wouldn’t feel comfortable going around manipulating lady or forcing things on people. There’s another way of looking at it -I’m not forcing my beliefs on other people -I’m conveying a message of truth. And I also believe a certain percentage of people are open to, and yearn for the truth. And they also know it when they hear it.
From what I’ve read and heard, my summation is this: You can’t earn your way into Heaven; but you can most certainly earn your way out out of it!
*Pushing things on people isn’t my thing -I refuse to do it in fact! This may only earn me half of my points in heaven but
