To convert them into Christianity! By the way, people deserve to know the truth, if they did not know that, they might have not become Christian in the first place! Nothing in the Christian faith is a fact yet.

Nothing in the Christian faith is a fact yet. There is plenty of fact, supported by the science of archeology. You didn't read my post, did you?

Someone told me that you are ******************************
Sorry for getting off topic.. so.. anyways.. Faith has a limit, you can't jump off a cliff and expect God to save you..
Someone told me that things like that should be discussed in the Personal Information Boards. Whether it may be true or not. Peace. -MarioOfTheStars

Anyway, if you are allowed to post what state you live in, and what your race is (outside of the personal information board), then how come you are not allowed to support a theory that you think may be false?

Back to the topic of faith.
I'm not sure that I agree with that statement. It's not faith... it's more of the boundaries of the world and laws of gravity (considering the example you gave).
Exactly! That would be ridiculous.
You would be forcing yourself into death, which would be what you want (in that moment, at least). God gave us the power to choose for ourselves, so that we wouldn't be complete "robots."
But of course, if you were ready to jump, God would be right there with you, waiting for you to come to your senses and not jump. He would be the voice in your head telling you that jumping is a bad decision.
If you follow through on the jump, you'll probably be dead. It was your decision to kill yourself, of course.
BUT it is possible to force yourself off of a cliff and live. It just depends on the distance from the ledge to the ground... Or whether or not God still wants you to be on the Earth. Then miracles can happen...

Just stop. Turning him away from what? He doesn't have a religion, so he has nothing to lose! If he was Buddhist/Hindu/AnyOtherReligion then I would understand.

Yes. It says that if we do not believe in Christ Jesus, and the blood he shed for us, we will not be let into heaven. It says that when we die, we will go before God to be judged. He will go over anything good or bad that happened in our lives. Then, we will either be let into heaven, or go into hell. It all adds up to us going and spreading the word about Christianity. We believe that we're saving lives, one at a time. But... Death is a hard subject to talk about, because no one has ever experienced death and come back to talk about it.

So if I have a friend of another religion, he burns in Hell?
