I find it can be rather frustrating to talk to someone about faith/religion/belief and go around and around in circles because overall you agree but in essence there is a big difference in what and how you believe. We had a conversation with someone earlier tonight about his god. He believes in the bible, particularly the new testament, not so much the old, but ends up in this mysticism where it's all about preserving nature and finding your belief deep down inside of you. There's not really any way to go wrong with this guy until you say there is only one way.
But as my husband said, it is not our job to convince people of the truth, we are to simply explain to them the truth, pray for them and leave the convincing up to God. That way we can't chalk it up to our great illustrations, or debating, and persuasion skills. And actually, I find that a relief.
