Changing Someone's Belief

RE: Changing Someone's Belief
Godschild Wrote:You are also arrogant about the fact you can change the way your friend believes

Why do you blindly judge me? I've been careful to say 'potentially' damage his faith. Doesn't your book say not to judge people? Jeez...

Quote:He/he knows you are still hanging onto those old beliefs, One is waiting for the right time, the other will pray in His will at the right time. This you know and this is what scares you.

You're dreaming.

But of course that's what the underlying motive is. I wouldn't be surprised if he thinks he's invincible and whatever I bring up he'll easily respond to.

1) We're all horrible sinners
2) The meaning of the cross
3) Fear of judgement day

These are the things he subtly brought up during the conversation. He's using scare tactics to make me convert.
