Thread: Convert-itis
I\'ve read here that there is an opinion that converts are \\"over-zealous\\".But,does Christ not command His disciples,and those after,to be zealous with the Word of God,and preach the Gospel to all nations,races,and creeds.I believe that \\"over-zealousness\\",can,and is often confused with someone who sits there and force-feeds us with religion or dogma.Let me state that,as a convert TO Orthodoxy,I have experienced Orthodoxy and the Love of Christ,in a manner that words cannot express.It was for my soul\'s benefit,no one else\'s,except with whom I share God\'s testimony...through me,His Will is shown by the miracle of living on this earth,even though,like so many others,had \'beat the odds\'.As my parish priests(past&present)have told me,I do not have to justify why I am Orthodox (instead of a Methodist minister\'s daughter.)That\'sbetween God and I,unless aomeone is WILLING TO LISTEN.
