Just how does one go about saving someone's soul? Not to be disrespectful, but it sounds like David Koresh or Jim Jones to me.
No problem.
That's a good question. I just do whatever God leads me to do. It's more what he does thru them. When people try and won souls over to God, I think he gives them the sources they need when they need it. Bible scriptures bring up quite contraversy, kinda like striking a nerve, I noticed. But it can be strong and effective if the person is ready to open up and receive it I think. Nonbelievers usually don't understand bible verses however and only see the bad part of them thinking we are condemming them. When in fact, when someone receives the holy spirit, the Bible is very comforting. That's not understood until they turn over tho. We just have to remember not to give up, because God doesn't give up on us, he keeps working us, waiting. Other than that, I can't think of anything besides to show the love we should for everyone nomatter what.
If anyone else can add to that to answer your question, they're free to jump in too. :wink:

I agree with you in some ways, Wanda, in that I do find parts of scripture comforting. I don't limit myself to Christian scripture and I don't agree with all of the Christian canon, but there is certainly comfort to be found in the message. I don't agree with the part about turning over, or impending doom, or rapture, or annointing oils and a prespecified number of saved souls but I accept they are part of your faith and I hope they bring you peace.
