Description
I believe in LOVING people into our RELATIONSHIP with Jesus, not forcing our βreligionβ on them.--
The font makes it hard to realize what words I'm putting emphasis on...
Yes, another stamp, but I've been meaning to do this one for awhile.

Disclaimer: No one is forcing you to look at this or read this. I am not trying to force my beliefs on you.
If you do not agree with something please do not comment. And for all you out there who are now agnostic, or atheist, or some other religion, because some Christian insulted your personal beliefs, or shove God down your throat, Let me personally be the first to apologize. (But I'm not going to apologize for my beliefs, I will stand for what I believe in.)
If you don't like this then: don't fav or comment, but DO click the previous page button on your browser please. Everyone has different opinions and beliefs, please respect mine. Nobody needs the drama. Thank you.

"I have a relationship with Jesus Christ."
"So you're religious?"
"No."
"But you said-"
"I said I have a RELATIONSHIP, not a RELIGION."

Just explaining why I used the word relationship, and not religion.

To Christians:
This stamp is about respecting people who aren't the same religion as you are. People who aren't Christians don't like to have any religion "stuffed down their throat" especially ours. The best way to help them understand us and our faith, and to help them accept what we believe, is to show them love and live it trough our lives. In case no one else has noticed, lots of fellow Christians or people that call themselves Christians aren't following God's Word when He said that first and foremost to Love God, and to Love others. Just be loving, not forceful. As they say you can get more flies with honey than with vinegar. Gentle persuasion beats brute force.

To everybody:
I have seen all different kind of fights where the so called "Christian" was trash talking people who weren't just like them. Most of those people turned out to be trolls. Just trying to give Christians a bad name.
We as Christians are known for what I call the "loud ones" that affiliate with our group, but really don't support the ideas and morals that the sincere Christians have. There are radicals in every group. So please don't judge us all by that one bad experience with a rude jerk who doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut.
I will not force my religion on anyone, I will most likely disagree, but I won't fight about it with you. Different personalities and opinions are part of what makes all people individuals. If you respect me, I will respect you.
If someone asks me a sincere question about being Christian and what it is to be a Christian, I will tell them. It's an invitation they gave me to share what I believe with them, I'm not forcing them to believe it, and it's up to the person to decide if they want to believe what I tell them or not.

It would be nice if more Christians would follow this message, and, as sure as I am that a great number do, I know for a fact that a great number do not. Scare tactics don't work on anybody but the weak-minded and gullible. I wish there could more friendly, loving Christians in the world, and less of those who view people of differing opinions as dirt.
Things like this stamp always make my day, because they remind me and everyone else that not all Christians are those people that stand outside my school holding sign with photos of dead infants on them, screaming and shouting at young men and women about how horrible it is to be whatever is the demonstrators are not. In my most humble opinion, any lifestyle worth its salt is one centered on the betterment of not only the individual's life, but also the community in which the individual lives.
By the way, I'm an atheist. Just thought I'd keep that 'til the end so that people would actually bother to read this...

I swear I'm such a love struck teen..... you know that feeling you have when you have a crush on someone you really like and you can't stop thinking about them?
I can't stop thinking about God

Um thank you?
I hope you seriously don't want to actually stab him. I really don't know how to answer this comment because of the stabbing icon, it worries me.
I don't support anything about him, but I also don't support hate or murder. Even if he doesn't love everybody as God has comanded us to as in the Bible, we are supposed to love him and lead by example. [link]
I don't think he has a real relationship with God, and we should pray for him to learn the true meaning of being a Christian.
I am very glad you love God though.

Amen!! Thank you!
Seriously, I'm all for people shareing their testimonies, and shareing the good news with people.
But I do not appreciate when they hold the "You're going to Hell" Over their heads as their way of forcing people to believe what they believe.
In the end It's their choice, and you cannot make people believe the same beliefs as you do.
It doesn't work like that.
Instead we should vaule each other and respect our friends for who they are.
Jesus didn't come here to force people to follow him, He wanted a Relationship with us, Just as much as we want Relationships with our Friends.

I agree. *nods in agreement*

"OMG, YALL R GUIN 2 HELL BECUZ U DNT LUV JESUS!11!1"
O_o Ok... if this is a real quote someone said, I'd say that they need to lay of their sugar packed cereal in the morning.
All caps, incorrect spelling, tons of exclamation points that didn't even make it to full punctuation status? ... The Gospel is to be taken seriously, how would someone think s/he would even be taken seriously?
If someone says this to you in this manner then s/he probably isn't even a true Christian, just mouthing off to get attention. Even I get annoyed by people like this. It's just sad.
"Isn't the right way, why can't people understand that? CX"

Well said! I strongly believe that God loves all his children and that even if they're not in a religion or even a Christian (agnostic, Muslim, etc) He will still hear them when they pray.
A Christians goal shouldn't be to force-feed their religion down peoples throat, but, like this stamp says, to show people by our love and actions the happiness we have with our relationship to our Savior. Woah, run on sentence, haha.
God bless!
