Another report of attack on pastor in India

What a shameful thing to attack a person infront of his daughter and misbehaving with his wife and that also in the name of religion. This world was created by God and its a very sad thing when we hear such reports. My prayer is that God will give wisdom to people so that they can understand that by violence no one is going to achieve anything. If a person don’t want to hear a message or teaching of other religion then just leave it and go ahead. Why do we hurt and fight with each other. Everyone has the right to speak whatever he/she wants. If you don’t agree with it then just don’t hear. But killing and persecuting in the name of religion is something which I feel is not good.

India is secular country where each indiviual has the right to practice which ever religion he wants. There is no point in trying to stop or forcing anyone into anything.

Message of Bible never teaches anyone to force anyone to follow Christ. Its an individuals decision whether he wants to follow or not.

In Rev 3:20 Jesus says

“Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends. ”

Jesus gives an invitation and says if anyone hears and opens door then He will come in. Jesus never opens any heart’s door by force. So following Jesus is a decision which an individual has to take by himself.

So if there is any forceful conversion then its wrong on biblical basis. But if a person wants to follow Jesus by his own then no one should stop. I don’t understand what people will gain by persecuting. At last they are also human beings.

Orthodox Christianity and Beliefs

Over the years, we have seen people switch from one religion to another. Every religion, in some way, seeks to gain new converts. Some groups do not accept others, while others actively welcome those who are seeking truth. Even within Christianity, people often change denominations or groups. Most of the time, this happens because they are seeking better alignment with the Bible , or they have gained new understanding of their faith. For example, many have moved from Orthodox traditions to Protestant churches, sometimes finding a home in Pentecostal fellowships. In recent years, I have also met people who have moved in the opposite direction—from Protestant backgrounds to Orthodox traditions—often citing reasons like their love for liturgy and a sense of historic continuity with the early church. Key Differences to Understand When we look at why people switch, it is helpful to understand the differences between how various groups see Scripture, Tradition, and Revelation : Sc...

Fellowship or Groupism?

One of the greatest blessings of being part of a church is fellowship. Fellowship is more than just casual interaction; it is a spiritual bond that unites us as one body in Christ. In a time when the world is becoming increasingly isolated and people are drowning in loneliness, fellowship is not optional—it is vital for our growth in the Lord and for the health of the church. Unfortunately, what often creeps into churches today is not true fellowship but groupism . Groupism happens when people only relate, talk, and associate with a few selected individuals, closing themselves off from the rest of the body. Instead of building bridges, groupism builds walls. Fellowship vs. Groupism Fellowship : Inclusive: Welcomes everyone as part of the body of Christ. Christ-centered: Built on love, prayer, and encouragement in the Lord. Strengthening: Helps each believer grow stronger in faith. Reflects heaven: Displays unity in diversity, showing the love of God to the world. Groupism...
