[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The greatest contribution a Christian - or for that matter a person from any other faith - can make in terms of persuading others to consider adopting their faith is by the life they lead.

You can preach the Bible till kingdom come and it will not have the same effect on others as leading a compassionate, caring life as Christ taught us we should do.

Why do people talk favorably about Pope Francis? It is not because he talks about the Bible and Christianity but because of his message of tolerance and living a humble life.

Why was Mother Teresa so admired? It was because she lived her faith - not just talked about it.

To cite what a PP said and captures in a few words the essence of Christ's message:

[i]"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.'" All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
[/i]
How often do you hear Christians - and especially fundamentalist Christians - cite the above when they expound on Christianity? Rarely have I heard it from most evangelists who spend their time mainly condemning others and the lives they lead because they deem it sinful.[/quote]

I am the PP you're quoting, who referenced Jesus's words in Matthew. His message was one of love and service, as in, "Whatever you did for the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me."

One would hope that followers of Jesus, the transformative figure behind Christianity, would want to live by his words. He said nothing about being gay, but he said everything about love and inclusion.[/quote]
