There is no word like Hindu in the olden days. There was no Religion like Hinduism in the olden days.
It was called Sindhu only. Later on people changed to the name as Hindu. Fine.
How about Muslims? I believe that Mohammed the prophet died of some disease. How can a messenger or god like person whom they call can die of disease? Please check the history??
However I am not going to discuss on the above.
The Question over here is "Are Christians converting other Religious people to Christianity?"
Here come some simple questions:
1. Are you eating the same kind of food from birth?
2. Same school till 12th?
3. Same dress till college days?
4. Same friend until now? No new friends?
5. Same house until now?
6. Same Car?
7. Same Company working until now?
Not even tried any change in your lifetime? If you say no, then you are a liar and your heart is equal to stone.
Everything is changeable in this world except few things i.e. Parents, Relatives, Wife and Children. Other than these, whatever we like it we exchange with the present product or others. One more question is, suppose if we are using a Maruti Car for 10years and if we want to exchange or change with a Toyota model. Will the Maruti sales team come and question or hit us for changing their Vehicle?
Will it not look strange? Suppose you quit a Job, does it mean that you should not work anywhere?
Certainly not... Even if you work in a Govt Job you cannot say that I will work in this office or this post only until retirement. How many transfers and change in department?
Business people will change their business. They might add one more business also. No Limits. Nobody can question him. You can do whatever you want.
Still not satisfied with the explanation? Fine one more example, suppose you have a Bajaj Scooter and if TVS company sales executive approaches you and introduces TVS scooty to you and explains the additional benefits comparing with Bajaj, will you scold or make fun of the TVS executive or hit him? Or will you give Police Complaint? Will you ask him how dare you talk TVS products when I already have the great Bajaj scooter? NO, if you have time you will just politely listen to him. You will also change the vehicle if it compromises your thought and budget. Same way it is applicable for all the products. Nobody can question you. That is called as Freedom. Same ways only, If anybody shares about Jesus Christ, please listen to it. If you like it and feel impressed, you can follow him. If you don't like say No Thanks, as you say to that Sales Executive and move on. That is mannerism. Today you can live in Mumbai. Later you can get job transfer in another company or for the same company itself and you might need to move to Delhi. Mumbai Govt cannot come and ask why you are moving from Mumbai city and what's wrong with this city and cannot force you to stay there itself. It will be called as Foolishness or Craziness. I am telling again, it's Freedom. We explore the best for our easy living. Again if you might say that these explanations are not related to sensitive issues and feelings. Ask yourself, friends, Relatives or even your parents. How many of them have married the 1st girl that they have seen. Only few will be there. For Ex: Why did you leave the 1st girl or why did you go to 5 other houses to see different type of girls and married only one after hurting all the other Four? Why can't you go blindly and marry the 1st girl you see? Why you required a choice at that time? Yes, you went for the next girl, just because you found something new or matching your profile and desire. Did anybody put an order that you should see only one girl or 1st girl and live with her? Or suppose If you see the 2nd girl, will the father of the 1st girl come and shout at you? Why did you not accept my daughter? Certainly not right. Again I am telling it is called as FREEDOM. It's each person's choice. Nobody can stop your exploring of new people and things.
But if comes to Christianity, some elements are making it as an issue. They are calling it as conversion. Don't you think Christians are cornered? Why because some wanted to make it an issue and get big name out of it, Coz satan is driving them to do so. So think in a broad minded way friend.
They are also killing and fighting against the Christians because they can be easily targeted and are pious in nature and will not hit back again. So because of this some bad people are taking advantage of it.
Friends overall, the best simple example I can again give is, suppose you go to a Hotel or any Shop. If you like the food, will you not suggest or recommend to your friend? Will you not ask him to try it once? Will you not ask him to taste it once, since you found it good and gained confidence out of the benefits? Suppose If you find any shop tastier and cheaper than your friends one who is even a regular customer to that particular Shop or Hotel yet will you not introduce to him? Will you be afraid to introduce or share about that shop to him? Definitely No Right. Just think and answer. We have done it several times to several people we have met. Like that only, I and others after tasting the Love of Jesus Christ, we then come to share it with others and suggest them to try Jesus at least one time. So If you or anyone likes it, you are certainly going to follow him. Or else you are going to ignore him even though we share it to you. That's all. Some people cannot digest it but it is the truth my friend. Since it is religion, some people are making it a big issue. So let's be careful.
Telling about Jesus to others is just sharing. Don't make it a serious matter or a big offence.
One day if somebody knows about Christ and finds the real Joy and Strength in him. He will follow JESUS. You cannot stop him or make fun of him. So please don't waste your time by telling the word Convert. Think and Act....
