Try talking others into being \u201csaved\u201d and going to church with them. Often mention a harsh judgment for not believing.<\/p>\n<p>Among other things, they are against people who are Gay, they are against Doctors who give abortions, they are against people of different race or religion. They are difficult to get along with due to the proselytizing. But please don\u2019t be unkind to them for they are running scared.<\/p>\n<p>They are afraid of death, they are afraid of being judged and not measuring up to what God wants them to be, and therefor left out of the Love God gives to His children.<\/p>\n<p> They don\u2019t know that God is Love. They don\u2019t understand, nor follow, the teachings of Jesus. They live in fear instead of love. They don\u2019t know they are safe and secure in God\u2019s love at all times and through all things.<\/p>\n<p style='text-align:left'>&copy; 2020, <a href='https:\/\/aleroy.com\/blog'>Lekatt<\/a>.
