AJ's dad, who is Persian, was asking me all kinds of questions about why Christ was crucified and who did it.. I did not know that I did not know how to explain the who and why. I pretty much know the information, yet found it hard to e xplain.. Shame on me... I had to look up the info online and read it to him to better explain....Been awhile since I picked up my Bible.. Maybe it is time to read it again....... am so embarrassed that I had a hard time explaining..... Never really had to explain it to anyone before, because when I went to church, and mostly "church people" I hung out with, well we all knew it and didn't need anyone to explain anything... mercy me

Hello, radio_flyer. Perhaps you might make this a positive?

You told him the best way you could. What did he think?

(((Radioflyer))) I hope you can both search out the answers.
Here's an interesting link to Persian Poetry... http://www.farsinet.com/ChristInPers...al_poets2.html

The main interest is generally in the Love ... they are craving the love of God. If you have any questions, PM me.

Radio, I am sure that you know your biblical facts inside out; except that you had a hard time condensing your knowledge about it into words. I think we are all caught off guard when those outside of one's faith ask us to define what exactly it is we believe in, so that may be what happened.

You did the best you can. . . . Take it in a positive way and as u said reread the bible. . . .

The Lord says that when we are questioned, he will give us the right answers. I am sure that is what happened in your case. Don't be so hard on yourself. Believe that you are precious in the eyes of God and go boldly to proclaim your faith.

Thanks everyone... He is like a sponge, absorbing information..

Thanks JD for the link... much appreciated

SunnyD... He didn't say a whole lot. He is just taking in the info and thinking. I can see his "wheels" a turning...
