How are you otherwise going to convince any non-believers to follow your God? Surely you have to try and convince them there is a God for them to follow. Or am I interpreting this Biblical verse wrong yet again?
I agree that as a Christian I am to spread the word of God. I just don't see the link between that and saying somehow I personally have an obligation to convince anyone. In other words, my job as a Christian would be to point others to God. But if they don't want to believe, it is not my problem as I have done what I was to do.

What are your presuppositions that allow you to be open and fair to any claims to miracles or God?Saerules already answered that question on my behalf (thanks Sae!!) It was obvious what I meant in my previous quote so anyone could have answered that on my behalf.
I guess my use of the word presuppostion was not as clear as I thought. I am using it to refer to your First Principles. I don't think being open and fair to reasonable suggestion and evidence really qualifies. I hope this makes it more clear what I am talking about because I really am interested in your thoughts on this matter.
