What are ways you share your faith with family and friends

Do you ever get accused of being to pushy or preachy? Ever encounter the extremely uncomfortable friend who insists they are more 'spiritual than religious' and then almost act afraid of discussing anything? Ever have someone insist you read the 'God Delusion' and refute its points before they will hear you. yikes. Or what about someone that wants to argue about abortion and homosexuality when you just want them to hear who Jesus is to you first before you bat at political arguments. Its like they are avoiding discussing the author and creator of morality in the first place.
What about the person that gets in my face and says they know I'm not perfect because they know me intimately enough to know I've made some mistakes in life, and they take this as evidence that my whole testimony must somehow not count anymore. Worse is the person who takes advantage of me, abuses me, walks all over me, then accuses me of being an unloving horrible fake christian when I finally set some healthy boundaries.

I'm trying so hard to share my faith with the people I care about the most, but I am starting to feel a little discouraged and shut down. Is anyone else trying to actively witness to friends and family members? Can you give me some tips? I am clearly not very good at this. Is there a class or course where I can learn how to better share my faith and answer the 'same old ' problems and arguments that get thrown at me? I just want people to know what I believe and what Jesus has done for me. It sounds so simple but gets so complicated. Furthermore, this might sound superstitious, but does your life sometimes seem to get more troubled and dramatic when you are trying to witness to people? It's almost like the devil gets mad and throws everything at me but the kitchen sink to intimidate me.

I know how you feel. I'm scared to even share about Jesus to my family. My dad is an atheist and any time I say anything about Christianity he will laugh at me to my face and call me names. And my mom says she is a christian but she also believes in reincarnation and swears she can remember her past life in the 1800s and said she died of cancer. Lol and I think my bro is an atheist also. It can be tough. Jesus said whoever will follow me will be persecuted against.

Not pushing your faith on to others but respecting their choice.

Respect their right to faith what they will as long as they respect your right to have faith.
some may ridicule you all christians are idiots....
Still your right choose.
and if one felt stigmatha without blood one may say well....where does that come from.
Maybe its "i bleed for your son"... from someone who cares for you.

Like muslim try force someone to marry two wifes cause thats what theeey think.
When that some one says clearly ne rope only!
(one spouse)
(and no jealous horrid dames behaving disgustingly)
They may isolate some one and tie them up etc and try force them into a marriage with enemy who keep them as slave when it is right to choose who one wants to marry.

I was illan bred which means i do not have mother or father in the time and no governing or authority for such would be of a jealous thief people.
If you are more than someone and they are crimes and steal from you and bad to and for you in every way shape and form of who they are (although pretend be nice).
Some dictated over me in raising me and it always has bad effects on me (every time) i become supressed and ridiculous ...
I do not respond well to what they call "dominating or discipline" as they may not understand my child time or soul time.
I have mothered them and showed them how i "mother/father" parent.
And some behave so disgustingly its tragic they be parents with bodies they behave like bullies and thiefs and one can not respect them or see them as adults or governers or in authority they miss use.
They teach their children to be just as horrid.
Or they steal children that do not want them as parents cause these chjildren come with so much in soul and who they are.


I can not say I am roman.
Maybe i am arabian.
but then again i am more than arabian and i need freedom choose and boss of who and all i am.
Multicultural and bilingual.


I think, let people practice what religion as
long as they do not crime (which most do...) lol
Same as gay then....?
long as no crime or marriage in church and respectful and not rape the straight guys (which lots been happening but noone reports it maybe out of embarrassment)


Maybe you want to marry a woman or man and you want them to have same religion as you.
Then one should be careful about talking with them about it.
They still have final word of choice and you may say i only want marry my religion...but if they do not share that that still their choice.

One should also be accepting of those wanting to leave a religion.

Oh, who do I fool...
I had it in my will to be catholic roman but I have islam in or around me and even had my own iman.
Had woman and man be bad to me and think they marry me although I always said no to them as i do not like them also cause they isolated me and were bad and stealing etc.
One rope only for my marriage.
If in the past (history chanel) could imagine other wise it no way now, to much jealousy, drama, nastiness etc .
Getting out of/leaving islam can be very difficult.
Specially if one can not even take burka off..
Theres been attempted murders on people who try leave islam.
Also brainwash, isolation, slavery, theft, bullying, trying force marriages etc
Some woman can only whisper they raised from child good, mime when others sing and dont speak real voice but she may be able whisper it to romans and others.


Now I do not attend church or mosqe.
Imagine how much slavery and identity theft can occur in islam with coverups here and there.....

And think a woman marry a roman and she says i want to be married to him and others try force her to be muslim and they both get threatened and murder attempts to kill them or at least one of them.

I like to pray every day.
Last couple days I just kneeled down in child pose and prayed.
Does not feel same as it used to.
I do not pray to allah anymore or five times a day which was like a wierd brainwash or something.
Have felt stigmatha without blood and other things of jesus but my faith is one may "bleed" for someone and also one may eat each other in animal flesh and it is complcated explain but i can not change some aspects nor do i want to .
Such as breeding. I like doing a breeding with whom i choose in beautiful way.
and i like the nature and animal and its not so focused on only humans all time or cats


It is good that romans are there for these muslims who may not be muslims but actually need help to leave muslim territory and access their life and freedom and human rights.
God bless such a good people.
I actually need help also but have difficulties speaking with most but shall pray at home once a day for start may be good and try communicate with those people one can reach.
Also bad men stealing a womans money and giving and spending it with his greedy horrid wifes and keeping other woman as slave who not maried to them and does another type of labour.

Heard of married couple not permited be together because muslims want keep them or one of them.maybe they make money of them, use burkas, and etc.


Have heard several religions difficult to leave and get human rights met.
Difficult reach out for help also and many wellknown popular names can be part of these sects sometimes with no knowledge to the public.
and being frozen out and set up to "be or look bad" and feel bad...no community for such...
where could they escape


Good communication and discussion and maybe you can tell them if they want to listen and find nice way show them your religion.
and try respect and not force some one be your religion but if they choose to then welcome them and also try spreading good word by giving knowledge in a gentle loving interesting way and if they say "no, back off" then respect that choice they made.

over a cup tea by fireplace or a lunch in peace full surroundings.

True if one hears a good recite quran how beautiful it sounds and there is a conciousness and peace in prayers so often.
But also why forced marriages that not part of islam supposed to be and how a religion isolate, bully exclude some, steal names and identities and not support and give love and communion.
When i turned to islam i got badness upon me and i think they were indians and not muslims the people i came across int his town as other muslims communicate with me other ways.
Also try forse me marry enemies and many wifes and slavery and isolation and etc.
also felt something being sucked out of me, colour and light while they were doing wierd things.
Also they were like communists although think thats more sunni who say shia are not muslims and jealous if someone makes more money than them and say "same" when it is not the same.2 cups, 3cups..
I know torture occured to steal identities and titels and then they looked like the carers when they were the harmers.Grand illusion.Like a sickmaker pretend care or if i poison someone and then say "oh, you saw stomach, look i care for him" and i look good but im the one made him sick... (example)

I will just pray at home and do so in private but will not attend christian church or mosque.
I will pray once a day with my human body.
Both parties have been bad to me and i am very isolated and alone and disappointed.
Dont feel like have culture, religion or family and changed my name to get away from a bad people who were not my family but still not moved location as not yet accessed finances.
Keep working at it.

till assess my finances, ackknowledgement for work i do and education level i have (no discriminate me because what i seem to be...) and my real people and husband but i dont want marry two or more wires.
One rope only for some one marry me.


I will try live roman now and do my best.

God help me.

I know a good liberal politician man who helped me as he ackknowledged i am educated and ackknowledged the work i do despite "appearing a bit weird with my body" in communications etc (i come across as stupid) (shock horror) .
He did this with many many chinese people and it was very nice.
Appreciate them.
and appreciate him for this.


sorry for blabbering here.


I do not speak religion or faith with many and do not feel family in the time as such.
I say "soul brother, soul sister in faith can be deeper and is even written about this in scriptures.

Best way is word of mouth. There is no better way than your own words.

Some people who don't share your faith are going to be brick walls that will be hard to knock down before they will listen. Though I think they should try to listen to your position more, you have the burden of proof coming into the conversation. If you really want to convert them maybe you should answer the questions they want you to, such as the ones you mentioned in "The God Delusion". If you are unable to answer their questions then you probably won't be able to make them share your faith.

Are you just trying to make them know your beliefs or are you actively trying to change theirs?
