...I simply was talking with my two friends whom I've always talked with about Yeshua MANY times before...
--- End quote ---
Hello Loverly, I take it from the above statement that your two friends in question referred to JESUS the Son of God as Yeshua when they would hold these conversations with you? I was wondering if the entire congregation you fellowshipped with did the same thing? When I was part of CHRISTendom, I learned that the usual people that referred to Jesus as Yeshua were the so called Messianic Jews.

Matthew 22 The Parable of the Wedding Feast
1 And again Jesus spoke to them in parables, saying, 2 “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son, 3 and sent his servants1 to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come. 4 Again he sent other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “See, I have prepared my dinner, my oxen and my fat calves have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding feast.”’ 5 But they paid no attention and went off, one to his farm, another to his business, 6 while the rest seized his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them. 7 The king was angry, and he sent his troops and destroyed those murderers and burned their city. 8 Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not worthy. 9 Go therefore to the main roads and invite to the wedding feast as many as you find.’ 10 And those servants went out into the roads and gathered all whom they found, both bad and good. So the wedding hall was filled with guests.
11 “But when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man who had no wedding garment. 12 And he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless. 13 Then the king said to the attendants, ‘Bind him hand and foot and cast him into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ 14 For many are called, but few are chosen.”

Hi Loverly
I found the more involved I was in the church the more judgmental and self righteous I became. When God led me out and took off the blinders...wow. My best friend is in the church system; we don't judge our beliefs. We just appreciate each other and don't let religion get in the way. Thank God for that. I put the info out there for family and friends (conversation, direct them to BT etc) and let them be directed by God's will. As Arc quoted from Ray: " to convince a person against their will is to leave them with their same opinion still. "
I try to "love thy neighbour" and let God take care of the rest in His time. Ray stated in his paper on the different types of love something to the affect....doesn't mean you have to be their best friend or socialize with them.
