I was raised an atheist and didn’t find Christ until adulthood, so I do grasp that it’s all voluntary. I also recognize that you can’t force anyone to be Christian against their will.
So on those points we agree. Where we differ is that I firmly believe my God is your God, and neither of us could ever change that, no matter how much we may want to. Christ came to save all people, with a focus on those who need it most. So yes, Christianity does apply to you, even though you don’t want it to.
I fully understand your “get off my back” perspective, honestly. Telling someone else how to think or what to do is a remarkably terrible way to make friends. I’m not here to be a jerk. Promise. I know you’re going to do what you’re going to do, irrespective of me. I only want to take every chance I can get to give testimony of my own experiences with God, and to follow the Great Commission for anyone who actually cares to let a seed get planted.
So does that mean we can coexist? I certainly hope so, but I recognize you may think I’m overbearing.
Yes, and some of them are pretty wacky translations. But the underlying word of God is unchanging.
