I relate to all of these reasons with a couple more. I fear I may loose my temper. I fear I don’t have the compassion I need to honor Christ.

They don't share it because they only love those who love them, making plain their selfish, worldly hearts before the Lord.
A man told Ray Comfort , " if you really be lived what you say, you would be running up and down the street telling people!". Talk is cheap, do we really believe that people are lost?

Before I started looking things up I didn't know that I actually don't have a worldview because my worldview is it's like four or five of them in one okay and I don't know how to explain it but you guys need to listen to Christian questions these guys have been studying the Bible Hebrew Greek all that stuff that is the first podcast I ever listened to you and then I started listening to all you guys and I broke down mentally okay because you guys were telling me that if I do this and I do that or I do this or I think that that I have to think this or that I have to think that or that that doesn't make sense or blah blah blah blah blah I never questioned any of this stuff my whole entire life I'm 35 and I think God for Christian questions you guys got to listen to it episode 1221 I didn't even know this was going on for this long and it only started because I wanted to show my boyfriend that Christianity is true that's how I found Jay Warner Wallace that's how I found Frank turek okay but what I found first and I'm literally almost 36 okay I stay out of all the political stuff I don't even really know what my group is called cuz I don't have one it's called Jesus and whatever the Bible says that actually makes sense without having to you know convince people of stuff because nobody's going to agree I I totally aware of that but it's out of control right now and my son is 15 and there is no way that I'm going to let him you know it's crazy because I I just I've never questioned it because I don't have a political party because I don't look at the news very much at all barely at all I've seen stupid but I'm not okay like Mike winger says and everybody else who is able to think logically you don't have to be smart and go to college and have all this knowledge to be able to understand wisdom when you hear it okay that's all I'm saying and so please if anybody agrees with me let me know which not like it's going to make me believe one way or the other I just really wish you know what I have like apparently before I knew about worldviews cuz I didn't really care because I knew that I would break down mentally if I started to look into it and that's exactly what happened and that's not okay for people to have that happen to them just because they're trying to learn more about the Bible that is not okay like we got to do something and Christian questions I really they were a radio station for the last 20 years but they weren't over here they were on the other side of the country and now they're a podcast you guys please listen to them there are politically free zone that is the key and because I have no knowledge on political stuff I listen to that and was like yeah that makes sense which I understand that's a little bit naive but I looked into it dude I've been looking into it for like a year and a half and when I started looking on YouTube I broke down because everybody is so crazy and I know that sounds like something that somebody and some group says but I'm saying it is supposed to be simple it's not that hard to understand you guys are making it hard and I'm going to do whatever I can to get my own home life together so that I can help because this is not working out well and I was basically brainwashed into this whole thing about the you know progressive thingy and I didn't even know it like I knew I was not worthy but none of us are but I did not know that people were trying to make us think like that like the pastors and stuff like that like the charismatic Church oh my gosh and I left just like I forget what their names are but thank God you guys are starting to leave because Victory Outreach international has been around since 1967 and they are literally teaching this I'm not kidding I don't know why this was not a thing before I went into the home for two freaking years the rehab the women's rehab home they're taking advantage of us that are vulnerable who want to no Jesus more and this is what's happening it's a bunch of crap and I'm done with it so please anybody that agrees with me please message me I'm never on Facebook ever but I have one okay I don't think I've been on Instagram for like since like 2012 or something or 2014 or something like that but I have one so please if you guys anyone agrees with me at all and has a normal like you know and normal is not even a thing I don't even know what normal is and I'm not just saying that I literally don't know what normal is none of us do because this is not how we were made to be
My fear is that I would ' get it wrong' i.e not do it right and not bring glory to God. I made a terrible mistake when I first came to the lord with my sister that when she asked me questions i directed her to another sister who was Jw who had apparently been in the religion for many years assuming she new more than me. Sadly by the time I realised my mistake she was hooked into that cult and now won't hear anything I have to say .
Your vids have been an enormous boost to my knowledge , I just wish I had realised it sooner …. I may not know much but at least what I know is true.
Many thanks and God bless you both.

Satan has carefully crafted the worldview of people to see Christians as the homophobic bigoted bad guys. I know that it's easiest for me to witness to someone when I get to know them better but I feel like I'm making excuses for not witnessing to strangers because I feel like I don't know how to open up to them
Thanks so much for this insightful examination of these common fears. Very helpful 👍
So sensibly enriching and lovely conversation. Thank you both and of course glory and thanks to GOD for helping us through your selfless work. Thankful and grateful ❤️.
Great video. Definitely took notes
Thank you for talking about this. I am ashamed to say that some of these reasons are too true for me.
It doesn't matter if we know the truth or not, telling people that they're sinners and that they've lived a lifetime of breaking God's law and therefore need to repent for it goes against every instinct in our carnal bodies.
Usually when you tell people that their worldview is wrong and that they deserve punishment for what they've done, they become hostile. And our instinct is to run away from hostility because it's dangerous.
In spite of truth, we choose safety.
Is it always fear? Or is it that some times or even often times, we just know we are wasting our breath and people are not willing or receptive to it…🤷 🙏
