Re: Would you interrupt someone witnessing?

Why would anyone do that? Good grief.

Again, during my teen years, I would have AND felt good about being "persecuted for Christ" when I was rejected.

I couldn't have said it better. The persecution was proof that we were living for Jesus, because "the world" hated us.

I was speaking about someone interrupting someone else witnessing. Why would anyone do that?

...the short answer, because the person doing the interupting doesn't see the person witnessing as being right enough in their own spiritual life to share the truth with anyone. I'm sure in their mind they were just trying to help the person asking about God.

If they were not so arrogant, they would realize that telling this person that all the "other" churches in town are full of hypocrites is just another way of telling the guy that there is no body of Christ, only religion.

What arrogance, you have to go to their church or go to hell.

Yes, such arrogance! (Unless they're right! )
