Yes, force and being forceful is what I had in mind. I think there may be different nuances and usages of that word but this is the meaning that I was thinking in terms of:

/inˈsist/
verb
demand something forcefully, not accepting refusal.
demand forcefully to have something.
Could we say that there were things that Jesus insisted was the truth, but not that He exercised insistence upon people....? As far as I understand it. He left them free to receive or not receive. I don't get the sense that He was being pushy with folks, that to me would not have been of the spirit. We need to allow God room to work, and allow people space in their own integrity to receive or not receive, otherwise we in our flesh can be standing in His way or even standing in His place so to speak. I guess it's a fine line sometimes.
exactly . and when i do warn and remind folks its not being pushy either . ITs simply warning and reminding as DID JESUS
as did the apostels .
We can ill afford to be taken into a web of deception .
This generation is under the guise of the most wisest , most clever of all beings created . notice i said created .
Not wiser than the CREATOR . satan is slick sister and he knows how to pander to the flesh and turn even christendom
against CHRIST . Its not pushy , its not forceful , to remind any and all of the absolute and dire necessity of having to believe on JESUS the CHRIST . and by golly it had better be JESUS THE CHRIST and not some other jesus either .
Lets give some examples so as we can make this a bit clearer to the people .
Because if paul , if CHRIST HIMSELF , if the apostels and true lambs stood before this generation i am telling ya
most of christendom itself would believe they were beholding literal monsters , literal haters , judgers .
This generation if JESUS were to return in the flesh as a man and walk amongst the vast majority of CHRISTENDOM itself
that majority would KICK HIM RIGHT OUT of the CHURCH . yelling to him , you hater , you judger
you dont know LOVE , you dont know GOD , YOU NEED JESUS . well their version of jesus . SISTER
i am in total fear for this generation of christendom .
I can easily prove this .
If i were to say half of what JESUS did and later the apostels did , to the lost , this generation of christendom itself
in large would say , YOU JUDGMENTAL , YOU Are forcing your beliefs , you are not being loving
Heck at the very best most of this generation would tell an unbeliever , EVEN IF they did bother to preach
to them , IF , cause most dont , but even IF they did tell someone about believing on JESUS
and the person they told this too said , I DONT believe . THE very best response , which is a dung response ,
they would give would be , OH HE BELIEVES IN YOU crap . That would be the best response . and yet what a crock even that is .
Paul, when the jews rejected JESUS , didnt say OH so you dont beleive , ITS OKAY HE BELIEVES IN YOU .
what a crock this generation got sold on how to evangelize . and that aint even close to the worst of it
most folks now believe GOD is okay with other religoins . Cause it just keeps getting worse .
