How does Bible explain how to preach

[Bi Dhikri Allah]

Hi everyone! I was wondering what verses of the Bible call out to all of mankind of all races to come into the folds of Christianity. Thank you!

Ma'a Sallam Bi Dhikri Allah!, and welcome to CR!.

That is an interesting question. The answer is equally interesting. Jesus instructed the Disciples to go into the town (s), and tell of the good news. If the town's folk accepted (or were interested), then they were to remain and answer questions and tell the story, and define how to come to Christ.

If on the other hand, the town's folk rejected the good news, then the Disciples were to pick up and leave the town, without further adieu. And they were to shake the dust from their sandals as they left the town (at it's borders).

And they were to look back no more.

In other words, never push.

Is this what you were looking for?

Thank you for replying! That was a good way to summarize it, but I was actually looking for the exact references from the Bible.

Me again...Are you looking for specific passages from the Bible? I assumed you have a Bible in front of you, but I might be in error...

I do not have a Bible in front of me right now but I suppose I could look up the passages myself from the references you gave me. I was thinking Biblegateway is a good site? Anyways I was just being lazy

Thank you

It would help tremendously if someone could quickly reference these verses for me , as I am unfamiliar with the Bible. For example, in the Quran we have Allah saying that He created the Earth and the Heavens and the Seas etc.; and He tells mankind to use their intellect in determining WHO could have been the Creator of all this- their stone idols who themselves were created or Allah, the ONE and ONLY Creator(?).

These are exemplified in the following verses:
Surah Al Baqarah(2), verse 164
Surah At-Tur , verses 35-36
Surah Mulk, verses 1-4
Surah Luqman, verse 11
.
.
.
etc
Like that, thank you so much! I would really appreciate it.
