have found very extreme reactions from people who discover that I am a Christian.
- Even more than when I tell them I follow Man U.
Some people are attracted; others show a very negative reaction. But very few are indifferent.
I hope this does not sound arrogant; but I believe I know the reason for this. In fact we are warned in the bible about how this decision can split families; the feelings are that strong. The fact remains that a Christian reflects a belief that through Christ they are saved and can enter heaven when they die. And as Jesus said there is no other way, should this be true, this leaves the non-Christian in a very vulnerable place.
The non-Christian may think they have very good reasons not to believe; but if they are wrong they are doomed.
Some people cannot face up to this possibility. They are not prepared to check things out properly; perhaps thinking that they will have to change their behaviour/life in some way. They would rather not do this; so instead show contempt to those that have had discovered who Jesus was
