Picking a fight over something you don't believe in doesn't speak well of your Christian faith.

How do you win people over to your faith? Or does your God say when met with resistance about the word of Mormonism, turn your back and walk away? I have a family history of Mormonism from the mid 1800's to about ten years ago and NONE of them were that weak. At any rate, I'll make you happy and cease and desist from any further comment on this particular thread. Have a safe holiday weekend. SS

>> How do you win people over to your faith?

Taking this as a serious question, you don’t. The Holy Spirit moves people, or they have not moved. Pure testimony of the Divinity of Jesus Christ accompanied by a witness from the Spirit of God converts. I alone can do nothing.

My father taught me a little couplet before my mission. “A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still”

I learnt this one while in Taiwan:

Now, it is not good for the Christian’s health to hustle the Aryan brown,
For the Christian riles, and the Aryan smiles, and he weareth the Christian down;
And the end of the fight is a tombstone white, with the name of the late deceased,
And the epitaph drear: ‘A fool lies here who tried to hustle the East.’ - Solo from Libretto of Naulahka.

Testify, do not argue, if you want to convert.
