How can we be a house divided? If our lay men do not preach what the preacher preaches, then how can we stand? If the church stands against something that the word of God stands against, but have some that say it's okay, then how can we stand. If we are divided, then we might as well carve a tree and burn incense to it. I guess I'm being hard and too strong, I can't help it. You can win some with love, but others will reject and push evil no matter what, We love those who reject God, but we must take a stand, Yes Jesus said to give the other cheek, but he also said the gates if hell will not prevail. Jesus is coming back to kill and destroy those who do not trust in Him and rule with a rod of Iron. He is the Lamb, but is also the Lion. This love message is wrong but yet right, but God will send people to hell although He loves them.
The word is just plain offensive to those who are perishing.
[h=1]Hebrews 4:12[/h] [SUP]12 [/SUP]For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
You can speak the truth as gently as a dove but the truth in the matter is that it isnt you that offends but it is the TRUTH. God only asks that you speak it forth. He didnt say some of us. God made a blanket statement to all who are in the body of Christ.

GOD Commissioned us to go throughout the world proclaiming The Good News to all. We are to be ready in season and out and not worry on what to speak for HOLY SPIRIT will give us what to speak. We are to just plant and water GOD adds the increase so never argue just share be a willing vessel for the Kingdom of GOD. Never look for results in that moment always expect GOD is Working! HIS WORD will not return to HIM void. Not all will accept not all will understand and yet all will have heard there is but One GOD and we all need a SAVIOR.

This is normally true. But I have seen exceptions to the rule. I have seen some atheists be completely respectful and open minded to hearing what I had to say. Afterwards, they said thank you and said I seem to really know what I am talking about. So in my opinion it would be wise when dealing with an atheist to give them a chance until they prove that you are just casting pearls before swine.
And to be brutally honest. I have seen some christians try to debate atheists and the christian or christians end up makeing themselves look like numbskull idiots. So I can see why some atheists view christians as stupid. My advice to any christian that wants to minister to atheists is study up, prepare yourself, and when you don't have an answer to something just admit that you don't know. Too many christians want to argue with stupidity and non sense because they just have to win the debate at all costs. No, just admit you don't know something. Go back do your research, then come to him or her with an answer later.
