Herein lies the difficulty I have with situations like this. Neither of you, I suspect, are professional trained Theologians. St. John Chrysostom said \"For Christians above all men are forbidden to correct the stumblings of sinners by force....For this reason a lot of tact is needed, so that the sick may be persuaded of their own accord to submit to the treatment of the priests, and not only that, but be grateful to them for their cure.\" Keep in mind, if someone does know Christ on a personal level, he cannot know Him on an intellectual level. Most of what I have read here is based on intellect and not relationship. Once this neighbor is introduced to the REAL Christ, trust me, he will WANT to know him intellectually.
