Transplanar

I would like to explore the topic I brought up in this thread from a different angle, to perhaps make my point more clear.

Say, for instance, you are a Christian, but your significant other is not. It doesn't matter whether they are atheist or simply of another religion, what matters is that they do not believe in the Christian God and have no desire to do so. Given that you love this person, is it not one's moral imperative to convert them and save them from the torment of hell? Is it not intensely terrifying to believe that this person that you care so much for will suffer forever while you will remain in heaven with their memory to haunt you for eternity?

It seems lately that Christians have gotten to the point where they simply take an "out of sight, out of mind" approach to people of other religions. To them, they fully believe that those people will go to hell and suffer, and yet they have given up on trying to convert them.

Is it not the moral imperative of a Christian to convert people to save their souls?

Tigers!

Saying intensely terrifying is not quite right. I find it mind numbing at times that those I know and care for appear to be heading for hell.


I cannot convert anyone. It's is my responsibility to tell, proclaim, live my life in such away that God is glorified. Conversion is between that person and God. I am just a messenger, albeit with a very important message.
