If there is a believer that belives that his faith is threatened by an unbeliever,this person is very, very weak. I have not seen that on this board. For me it has the opposite effect when I see others who have no faith, it strengthens me and makes me all the more thankful for the miracles Christ has done in my life. I don't consider any pre-Christian a swine. I've got plenty of pearls to cast. I like to think of this way if a matrix can be envisioned, starting with a -5 and running to a +5. The -5 on the matrix is a complete atheistic no believer who at this time could even be antagonistic toward the Gospel. Progress is made along the matrix as each person moves up. Such as at -4 a person may be interested in hearing about the Gospel but still be turned off by it. At 0 on the matrix is when someone accepts Christ and grows in Christ on the positive side. No swines here but perhaps some -4s?
