Who said I had that kind of power?

Description

I get a lot of comments saying "Christianity is always trying to convert people."

Actually that's a false statement that people often overlook and don't realize. A Christian is to witness and spread the knowledge of the Gospel. Not one of them has the power to make someone believe in God, or change their faith. Conversion can only happen when one makes the decision to give their life to God. Only God has that power.



Yeah, I know there are probably Christians out there who believe they have the super-natural power to get people to convert to Christianity, but that's because their prideful nature has blinded them to whom has the true power. They need to be waken up, which is another reason why I'm making this stamp. As Christians, we are commanded and given various abilities to spread His word and help those who want to be saved. ( reference for this is also in the stamp provided above in the description)

As far as my reasons for these Christian stamps I've been making, since I can't provide reasons for other Christians, I mainly post my stamps for my fellow Christian Brothers and Sisters to look at, and to praise God the only way I know how right now.

Now the trolls, they seem to sniff them out and shoot their little toy guns at me whenever they find the chance, I like to watch them get frustrated.

But mostly I pay attention to those who are struggling to understand what I'm trying to say. I don't ask them to believe it "OR ELSE YOU'LL GO TO HELL", let alone ask them to look at it. I did my part, and one way or another, I am pleasing Him through my own artistic skills and abilities, which leaves me feeling pretty good :)

Just to clear things up.

I think you're missing the point. "Trying to convert" doesn't mean you think you're going to succeed, it means trying to get someone to be a Christian. Just showing someone a Bible could be considered trying to convert someone.

I know your religion tells you to "witness" but to non-Christians, "witness" is synonym for "telling me against my will". Witnessing of Christianity is not needed anyway. The whole world knows about Christianity, it would be REALLY hard not to. You would actually have to actually intentionally focus on not being exposed to it. Your parents would have to shelter you from the world in a bubble for you to not by accident just while growing up. If non-Christians are interested, there is a really good chance a church is closer than the nearest hospital, so we will be able to look into Christianity ourselves if we wanted to. Don't witness to us. It is unwelcome, whether you intend a full conversion or not, it is still unwelcome.
