Being persuasive involves being able to avoid coming across as a threatening attacker to psyop damaged "lost sheep".

Choices:

Inspire curiosity by being a living example of His Love and His ability to Transform Life or speak about rules for pleasing people and a God that come off as repulsive to those " lost sheep"?

As the woman in "When Harry Met Sally"'s famous diner said to her waiter, " I'll have what she's having".

Isn't "eat this or you will be punished" far less compelling and more reminiscent of pharisees than Christ?
