The Gospel is in itself offensive to some.

It all depends upon how it is presented. If I scream in someone's face, and wave the bible about in a condescending manner; I'm pretty sure it's going to be offensive.

If I approach that same person with respect, humility and as an equal; the response is likely to be very different.

How was Christianity portrayed in this example? Thier message was good; their method of delivery was not.

watch the video, it was filmed by an independant film maker, not one of the Christians

There you go promoting the lies again. Please watch the video. You say that you already did, but you're lying about what's on the video.

I agree that sometimes the presentation is offensive.

I have witnessed many times and there are a whole lot of people around nowadays who don't think they've done anything to keep them out of heaven. Once you begin to go through the 10 commandments and ask have you lied, stolen,put something first ahead of God, etc. things can begin to be a sticky wicket. Just pointing out sin in order to show someone they need a Saviour is offensive to a lot of folks. They've been led down the path of humanism which has them believing they can determine what is right and wrong for them and noone else can determine what is right for them. Maybe I should have gone into more detail in my other post.
