       Another problem here is that God never forces anyone to believe in him—at least, in this life. That is our current order of things. People have the ability to choose to reject God, to reject Jesus, to pass on the the Gospel message. That’s everyone’s choice. Whether you consider this instance in Luke, or whether you consider any instance afterwards in Christian history, it never turns out well when people by using God’s name try to force others to believe in God. It goes against our very human nature, and the nature order of things. It is no different than what Islamic extremists do today in our current world. They go around in some areas and kill those who refuse to convert to their religion, or perhaps they don’t even give them an opportunity to convert. Anyway, it doesn’t work, does it? People really aren’t joining the extremist group, that is, at least Jews or Christians. When we are sharing the Gospel then, as preachers and teachers of God’s Word, it is important how we speak. I think the best thing we can do is just speak about the Bible.
