Harassment from Christians

Dear friend,
In Revelations 3:19-20, Christ, the Living one says:
"Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me. To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne."
This is an invitation from our Lord, and we, His people are merely trying to be His instruments to facilitate the invitation.
I understand if you feel "pissed off" by the conduct of some of our brothers and sisters, but do understand the sense of urgency that they have.
To use an analogy, imagine you know of a great "kang-tao" (fantastic offer). And it is your nature to be life giving, to love and to share. Would you hesistate to tell others about it? As Christians, we try to emulate Christ in terms of His love for us. And we just can't wait to share the Good News with everyone! In fact, the love of God is so immense that even all of us put together will never be able to match it.
Put in another perspective, we sometimes come across friends who don't quite understand certain things. What we try to "advise" them usually comes form the bottom of our hearts, because we care about them. Do try to understand that we are not out to pressure or corner you into anything, but we just want to share this great thing that we have been blessed with.
"But I'm a stranger" you may say. Yes, agreed. But remember that Christ came to this world to die for each and everyone of us. He did not just do it for John, Jane and Mary ONLY.
May you find the peace of Christ.
