    Matthew 28:18-20

    And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

    Stop trying to pander your beliefs towards atheists and unbelievers who want nothing to do with God. They aren’t our authority

        Good works apart from faith don’t make you saved.

        Ephesians 2:8-9

        For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

        It’s not being a good person that saves you.

        Acts 16:31

        And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.”

        Matthew 7:22-23

        On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’

        James 2:18-22

        But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder! Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works;

        What love is it to let someone wander into Hell? That’s not loving at all! Yes, we should be good people and do good and show our faith by it, and share our faith in a calm and respectful manner- not soapboxing on a street. But we should still share our faith.

            As long as Christians should share their faith and create new disciples, that’s fine. Other commenters seemed to say that we shouldn’t, though. And your comment did come across as “look at me, I can meet your atheistic standard, too!”
