"What Christians believe about life is up to them. They should not try and make others accept their position"

Jesus himself stood upto injustice throughout his whole stay on earth. For example in the temple when he became actively involved in displaying our faith publicly. We should feel the need to pass our belief because jesus did.

Christians have always influenced society to the extent that our laws nowadays are based on the christian principles and traditions.

However another christian may argue that jesus' performance in the temple was unncessary and unloving, however in contradiction i can say that we believe that jesus is perfection and did everything correctly on earth, if he was to set an example for us this story is necessary to express the need of preaching actively or inactively.

But some Christians go through so much to help others accept their position like Jeremiah who was lowered down a well even then he continued to preach 'like fire in my bone' as he quotes. John the baptist was never afraid to speak out loud against whoever it may be, he even scolded the king for marrying his brothers wife. And risked and lost his head for his strong faith in displaying the rights and pointing out what was wrong in the kings actions. Fundamentalist are christians which hold strong beliefs they are prepared to do anything to reflect their views on others.

Other Christians however think fundamentalists take life and enforce beliefs of their faith using violence which is unloving and cruel and undermines a persons value.

But other christians believe that if some people don't believe in god/christianity then christians shouldn't interfere in how they love their life because we live in a pluralist world in which all views should be equal. Everyone is born free to choose what they want to believe they argue and christians shouldn't try and dictate to others what to believe. And if we risk to express our beliefs christians have to live in the real world because you could be in danger of being insensitive.

Therefore the main conclusion is that we shouldn't make others accept our position however we shouldn't sit here and do nothing, we should like jesus said preach out loud and try and influence other people. However to use force breaks several other laws in the bible so theres no point obeying one if you're going to break a lot more at the same time. We have to do what love demands but there are limits to our actions, we have got to remember that the other person is also human with feeling and opinions and has exactly the same rights to try and influence you, so like in a challenge its how we portray our arguement that counts and may the best man win.

'Don't force people, influence them!'
