Becoming Contagious Christianity

Improved Essays
Good work on your post! I really liked that your take on the matter was very practical. Because most couples, even Christians couples would argue from the stance of practicality and logic. While you are responding in spiritual practicality. I was delighted when you made the point that "as believers we must be confident in the Biblical position on the matter." Because one of my Pastors always tells me, "you need to know exactly what you believe, and exactly why you believe it. And it needs to stand on scripture." Intense conviction in what we believe is contagious. Which is brought up in a fantastic book called Becoming a Contagious Christian. The author says this, "It's easy to look on the surface of the alternative positions and be drawn

    Non-Evangelistic Attitude

    Striking to me, was the non-evangelistic view upon which the Muslim faith operates. When leaving the mosque, I was amazed by the fact that no one asked for my name or mailing address to send further information. The people had been welcoming and hospitable without hinting at, or attempting to, persuade or convert me to their faith. Significantly, I discovered through the Imam and the Quran that Islam instructs conversions to be left to Allah, as illustrated in the scripture, “Let there be no force (or compulsion) in religion,” (Quran 2:256), and “It is true that you will not be able to guide everyone whom you love; but Allah guides those whom He will. And He knows best those who receive guidance,” (Quran 28:56).…

    Contributions to the Spread of Christianity During the Western Civilization Rational There were many different contributions that spread the religion of Christianity during the Western Civilization. First, the accomplishments of the Hebrews, later recognized as the Jews, helped in spreading Christianity as a religion during the Western Civilization, which was also considered the earliest known civilization (36-38). These different contributions that are mentioned in the Power Point begin from 1250-150 B.C. and last through 5-67 A.D.
