More on Tolerance

"As evangelism increases, so does persecution." So states The Voice of the Martyrs magazine for October 2007. So why do Christians all over the world offer the good news (evangel) to others when it seems to continuously lead to persecution? We simply believe that to put one's trust in Christ as savior, literally puts a person into a new relationship with God. We believe that this good news indicates that a person's sins are forgiven and that he/she receives eternal life through believing in Jesus. And, Christians believe that if others wish to reject that good news they are free to do so. So why don't those who differ from us simply allow us to offer our faith to others and leave us alone? I guess they are not as tolerant as they profess, if they profess tolerance.
