The Bible says: "Love thy neighbour".Why does he get excited?
I recently moved into a flat and found my neighborhood in the dire need of more spirituality. Being a good neighbour and christian I went next door to introduce myself. A beautiful young lady opened the door and received my full attention. After introducing myself I concentrated on the scriptures I was so very fond of. Starting with the ten commandments, I put heavy emphasis on loving my neighbour. The lesson was fully understood by this good christian until her husband walked into our Bible lesson. It seems he is an atheist and did not appreciate my biblical approaches at all. He rudely interrupted the session and threatened to kill me if he ever saw me with his wife again.
What should I do? I feel a duty towards his wife's soul, but feel an urge to continue spreading the word of God.
@cobirch2: I did not mention converting. I went to introduce myself.
Is there not a slight difference?

First of all your scriptures which you love so dear say " judge not that ye be judged" so that is one strike against you. You just moved in and already made a judgement they needed your spritual help.
Being a christian the ten commandements do not pertain to you, the scriptures you love so dear say "ye are no longer under the old law but under the law of grace, and anyone who lives by the old law has fallen from the law of grace. For it is by grace ye are saved not by works lest any man boast etc." that is two strikes against you.
It does not say love thy neighbour, it says " love thy neighbour as thyself" it is not talking about physical lust. Strike three and I would have kicked your *** out too.

WOW! This question has raised some hostility it seems. The answer to your question is that it is his home. He has asked you not to come back. You should respect that.
Also, you should pray for him. Pray for his soul too, not just his wife's.
And he may have felt your approaches were more than Biblical. How would you feel if you walked in on your spouse having a very intamate conversation with someone else?
All you can do at this point is pray for them, and pray for anyone else who is hateful or mean. And like someone else has already said, "Let God do the rest"
Have faith in God that he will handle it and answer your prayers.

I am not a religious person, although I do not discriminate.
Seeing his wife in a comfortable position with an unknown man is enough to anger most men.
The general conception of preaching religion is a dying form. Although you feel a duty to his wife's soul, I think turning the other cheek is not an option here, the male territorial reaction is too strong.
You could invite her to a more communal occasion, not just a one-on-one session, maybe this would calm the angry beast of a husband!

As Christians, we are taught to be disciples of the Lord and bring the word of God to others. However, we can't force it upon them. Even just "planting the seed" as another put it is fulfilling that instruction. Yes, now it is up to her as to what she does with the information you gave her. Did you tell her the church you attended? Perhaps you could have your church secretary mail a brochure or newsletter to your neighbor. As far as pursuing the matter yourself, I think you ought to stay clear of the husband. He may have just been blowing smoke as far as his threat to harm you, but anymore overtures from you may cause some real strife for her. "Loving they neighbor" might mean not being the cause for a domestic dispute in this case.....

I like the mail box idea and the seed palnting thing! I would pray about it if I were you. When he said he would kill you did he sound serious? If his wife is a christian then maybe she will spread the word to him! Who knows? God has a way of working things out! I am 12 so if you think my advice will get you killed than use common sence but aslo do what is right!

You have to honor their marriage. The Bible says "let not your good be evil spoken of". If her husband doesn't want you talking to his wife you have to honor that and stay away. The Bible also says to let women learn at home from their own husbands. Stay away from her and just pray for both of them. You cannot do anything to come between them because God would not be pleased with that.

I am laughing our loud that is so funny
I just saw that in real time in my mind
go witness to her when he is not there
and remember that you need to be very senistive
so just keep on moving on to the next neighbor
the husband did not understand what you were saying
move on in Jesus name
maybe you need to find another verse or two

Proverbs 6:29
So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.
33A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.
34For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.

Most people won't appreciate the fact that you're talking to them or their family about your own religion. It's kind of offensive to some people (like me). Of course, if the lady is Christian, I suppose it's okay, but her husband doesn't appreciate you being there and I think it would be best to leave it alone.
