It's really hard, especially to someone with a bias

Yes that's a hard one. Skeptics will always be looking for holes in the subject, and are very quick to point out any hypocrisies they see. Any time I get involved in such a discussion I'm quick to point out that although I try, I fail to be the best Christian I can be every day. But that makes the concept of grace even more impactful, as even those that follow Christ rely heavily on it. Anything in particular you struggle with?

Struggle as in? In a discussion or in my spiritual life?

I meant discussion, but either or.

I'm having this argument with PMH and he doesn't seem to realize that he's sort of being a hypocrite, because he's insisting that we're being brainwashed to believe Christianity is the best ever but he himself is trying to prove that being anti-Christian is "the Truth"

Ah I see. Yes that's a tough one. If I may offer some advice, try not to have an "argument", but rather a discussion. Arguments get nowhere, but discussions lead to more depth and meaning. Also avoid calling hypocrisy, as I mentioned before we are all hypocrites to some extent, so if name calling comes up just ignore it or request that the conversation remain respectful. If the discussion goes nowhere, that's ok and you have to be prepared to walk away without getting anywhere. As far as the truth goes, there is only one truth, but sometimes we all have different opinions of what it is. I personally believe that Jesus is the way, the TRUTH, and the life, and as such if He is portrayed in these discussions the way that He has commanded by spreading the good news, the truth will be made known naturally. However, keep in mind that God will only work the way that He wants to work, and if things work out differently than we hope during these discussions then just know that God is sovereign over all things and His will will be done regardless. It may also just take some time, as God does not work on our schedule. This is just my position as a believer, and others (like PMH and many others both on this site and elsewhere) are more than welcome to wholeheartedly disagree with me. But, I know for my own sake that I am saved and nothing can change that. All we are commanded to do is shine the light, it is up to each individual as to whether they follow or not.

All that make sense? Forgive me if this is too forward or not what you hoped for. I'll pray for your efforts :)

Yeah, I always prefer a good civil discussion over a heated argument.

Thanks!

anytime, that's what this stream is for :)

What's PMH?

PowerMetalHead, or as I like to call him

PowerfullyStonedHead

And, yes, I see that saying that he has a bias is wrong as I too have a bias that Christianity is teaching good, but I just want him to try and look without his bias (that he denies) and let me try to explain.
I also learned Buddhism, which gave me a more philosophical understanding of things. And I see a lot of it in the Bible, and yet he's saying it's wrong.

He's also high on weed a good chunk of the time
