A surprising Confrontation

Yesterday God dropped in my lap something very unusual, something I had never really had to deal with before but something that I knew he was with me the entire time. He placed three new friends of mine who are not Christians in front of me asking questions like, why is Jesus so special? Why is it that if Jesus is Gods son and so are we his children, why is Jesus more important to us? They also were asking me how come people in hell do not get second chances, they only have one and then they're done and in hell forever.
Believe me I was not ready for this, never before had I ever had a time where people started asking me real questions about my faith and beliefs in such a way that I almost for a moment wanted to cease all conversation or just stop talking. But then I realized that this could be a good opportunity to share with these non-believers and help them to understand God.

As best as I could I tried to explain to them what I knew and believed, the first question I struggled, not because I don't believe he isn’t special but because to someone who has been brought up Christian all her life that seems easy to me. I remember telling them something along the lines of him dieing for our sins but I'm not sure. For the second question they asked I just told them that in a way were (once were saved) are adopted into Gods family, Jesus is part of God as well as his son. For the next question I wasn't very sure what to say, I sort of stumbled over my words. I did tell them something but I don't remember exactly what I said.

Another thing they started talking about was people being gay, and if gayness is genetic (which scientists have been speculating about) then God created them that way. Leading them to believe that if God created them that way then it isn't bad. I tried to tell them that weren’t true but they all started to gang up on me and tell me I was wrong. Since that was a delicate subject and I didn't know much about what they were saying it was let go.

When it was time to go I told them that If they didn't like what I was saying to tell me and then I would stop, because nothings worse than a Christian pushing their views on people who don't want to hear them. Better to have given them the basic idea of what were talking about and still be their friends so that maybe that could come up later, then them blowing us off and never speaking to us again. One of my friends said it was getting pretty hot, -especially were he was sitting, I hope that means that maybe he understood some of what I was saying but didn't want to admit it, even to himself.

This encounter showed me that I need to be more prepared in prayer and reading the scriptures, so that if it happens again I wont look like I don't know what I believe. Although I know that God was with me every step of the way and was softening their hearts and letting what came out of my mouth be the right thing to say.

Please comment and if there is something I should have added or something that answers one of these questiosn please let me know!
