In short - I had a very bad habit, I will not mention what. All the while, my parents thought I had something, that I was sick; but in the end I confessed to them that I was doing it myself. Anyway ... I started new hobbies so that something could distract me from the harmful activity. Both my and my mother's hairdresser were calling now. She is an evangelist. I'm not very familiar with religions, I'm an Orthodox Christian, I'm not obsessed; but I have a friend who is an evangelist - he has quite conservative views. Until now, this one rang on the phone about some healing events taking place somewhere in our city. I generally avoid such things, it must be a sect. I refused, but I was a little rude. And she is generally a good woman, but this religiosity of hers scares me. How can I refuse her more delicately, how to act diplomatically I don't want to ruin my relationships with people in the end.

Rough - rough, so what. When people try to tell you what to do and get involved in your life, you choose how to cut them. You did well not to leave. I have nothing against religion, but in this form it becomes very sectarian and little by little they detach from real life. Good luck and don't worry unnecessarily about nonsense :) Me
What did you do? ?
Yes, I have a problem! you're some kind of hairdresser.
This is not a sect ....... evangelists are people who read the gospel (or the New Testament of the Bible in other words) ...... To believe in God and to read the Bible no man is able to make you do it, because if you do it it won't be normal anymore and you shouldn't do that ....... and if you don't want to hear about it from someone you can just explain it to him in a normal way ...... And as for what she told you about the healing of people is something really happening and very very very good ..... because there are many people, even all of them, who for one reason or another need to be freed from something or healed (which includes both physical healing and something else, for example) and who are instilled with guilt for what they have done or even without doing anything ......here and without it it is simply instilled in a person that if there is a health problem for example or another it will never change and be fixed, and this is not true at all ........ It is necessary to believe in God because He can really help, but whether you will believe in Him is up to you ..... d22
Don't listen to what number 4 tells you. THIS 100% IS AN EXAMPLE OF A PERSON WHO IS A SEXTANT !! First he tells you that no one can make you, but with some false words he explains about things that really happen. in a sick mind. Do not listen to these sectarians. Believe me better not to deal with such people. You are doing the right thing by avoiding them. For those who will read my comment and start muttering: -I have nothing against Christianity and the Christian religion. Whoever believes in God should go to church, talk to the clergy (priests) not to join various sects and leave of pastors' manipulations and I don't know what other LIARS. SECTES ARE DANGEROUS DEAR GIRL. BEWARE !!!
AND IN ORDER TO BELIEVE IN HIM, SHOULD YOU BECOME AN EVANGELIST?
Author: I think that the manifestation of faith in the form of gatherings, etc., is a superficial pose. I can carry my faith everywhere without going to certain places. Even a few icons at home.
To number 5 - I'm not a sectarian and my mind is not sick ...... I'm just writing about a way that can really help anyone, no matter where they are ..... and this way is faith in God .... one needs to know that even in his most difficult moment there will be someone he can count on and that is only God and no one else ...... help can to be through a person or if he is a person directly from God ...... To number 6 - no it is not necessary to become an evangelist to believe in God ..... maybe without it, but in evangelical gatherings they learn things that show even more fully what the truth about God is and why every person needs to believe in Him and not in something else ...... and also there - the evangelists also touch on the topic of icons and that the saints should and should be revered, but only so .....not to become something more than God, because God is the basis of everything and He above all must be worshiped ..... as there are many other things that are clarified there and show how in the churches it is a little different way about some things, and they show the correct d22
And I also want to add only to my previous comment that a person can be an evangelist and at the same time continue to attend and church ..... one does not interfere with the other, because in both places God is praised and this is the most -important in the end d22
You will not lose anything and no one will hurt you if you go to such a gathering and then you will decide for yourself whether to keep walking or not. Maybe you like it and God touches your heart. What's more, the woman is well-meaning and goes to gatherings where you don't drink alcohol, don't take drugs, don't have group sex ... in the end they won't bite you. I personally went and I liked it. There are so many young people and they are not idiots, on the contrary - extremely intelligent and well-meaning.
Pure sect, don't be afraid, there are many, how many will you like with a sig in your case, it's a sect, etc. Pat, just say no, I don't want to, or I'm busy, and so on until she gives up on you. and usually in class they tell you how to act in such situations now just avoid her don't curse her don't insult her just make up 1 pat sha are busy with your mother dr pat with girlfriends dr pat you won't want and so if you want talk to mother to help you with something if you want not to spoil your relationship with the woman
How did you decide that since she is from an evangelical church she is a sectarian? And what does it mean to be conservative, if you think about it, maybe she just lives by what the Bible says. And this is the book they read and according to which Orthodox Christians should live. And if she does something different from what the Bible says then, mine would be a sectarian, but how can you be sure if you've never read the Bible. I think listen to her, think carefully before you refuse her. Just because you don't know something means it's bad
This is legal sects and they are sponsored from abroad and various pastors of yesterday are getting fat with the money of grandmothers and old people ... Typical noon robbers and charlatans! 1
Yes, evangelicals are sectarians. I advise you not to go to their meetings. I remember that there were some grandmothers in my village. They went from Orthodox to evangelical and after about half a year went crazy. In my area, it was even rumored that a girl committed suicide because the evangelists said so that God wanted.
YES! This is a sect! Dangerous sect ... I am a 15-year-old boy and I am an "obsessive" Orthodox Christian ... my advice is the following: 1st - do not part with your girlfriend! My best friend is a Catholic, we have known each other since childhood! 2nd - it is not bad to go to such a meeting, but never join them! First, that they will take a tithe, that is, 10 percent of everything you own, and so little by little you give yourself everything, and then you commit suicide, which is the greatest sin! 3rd - get acquainted more deeply with religion (Orthodoxy) ... this way you will find very good topics of conversation and friendship will be inseparable! Now in Bulgaria there are about 200 religions and sects and there are already over 2,000 in the world! She draws her own conclusions ... Everyone is a believer ... even the one who claims not to believe! On the contrary! He believes in something above him!
why have we decided that evangelicals are sectarians? Well, sectarians for me are people who form groups and little by little make other people (naive) join them. It is very vile and disgusting, some peaceful and quiet people at a dead end to manipulate them like that. Well for sure they will be punished by these manipulators in one way or another.
To number 5? Evangelists in short are people who do not believe in icons and candles and so on .. And this is not a sect .. everyone has different beliefs; x just most believe in the wrong. And to the author, why don't you dig Wikipedia a little and learn that.
I do not understand you. What is the problem. I go to an evangelical church and I like it. This is not a sect. The people there don't take your money or property and don't make you commit suicide. Go only once. Nothing will happen to you. There are many smart and intelligent people, they are kind and very kind. They don't put knives or pistols in your hands, they don't hang you, they don't kill you. And think about the three sides of Christianity. They did not remember Orthodox Christians, Catholics and Protestants. What do you call Catholics sectarians? You may be an Orthodox Christian, but you don't call Catholics that. We are all Christians no matter what they call us!
I think keep going to the Orthodox Church.
Young evangelicals are the coolest, most educated and the best party for any girl! Massively the other boys are drug addicts, alcoholics, soft wrists with soft drinks from cigarettes! Dear girls, if you do not take an evangelist, you will never be with a real full-fledged man!
Evangelicals in Bulgaria are very aggressive in the struggle. for territory. Everything in them and fake. People who go to their prayer meetings have problems with their inner world. It often goes to extremes. They take 10 percent of the income. If you have a family of four it is 40 percent of the buffet. Pastors steal church land, do not pay taxes. They slid to the tentacles everywhere. They destroy families. BEWARE. SE.! THE DEVIL IS HIDDEN BEHIND THE ANGEL'S SMILE.
Evangelicals are not a sect. If you were reading the Bible, you might be aware. People do not know and still give reason where in the Bible it says to irrigate with holy water. There are many superstitions and misconceptions in Orthodoxy, read the Bible and meditate. Jesus died for our sins if we believe in him but we will stand trial again one day everyone will stand before the Lord. It is easy to say that we will be saved by placing a candle in the Orthodox Church, but think about it.
Hello! I am extremely happy to have read your story. Personally, I am an evangelical and really the understanding of this part of Christianity has a very bad rating. Evangelicals are people who trust only in God's Word. That is why they do not light candles, worship icons and do not tie martenitsas, because it is not written anywhere in the New Testament. The problem comes from the fact that there are many people (sects) who present themselves as evangelicals, but in fact do not observe the most important thing - to follow the Word. This is the easiest way to recognize them (they write their Bibles, ring the doorbells, etc.) And as for these healing events, I've been to many, and they're really amazing, but they're more like entered the faith. It's just that this woman didn't do it right.
