Responding to all your words:
I say you DO NOT annoy other people with your idea of a renewed mind by pushing them or forcing them to listen to what works for you and expect that they should drink the koolaid with you and follow your new religion. I personally do not believe Jesus is God but I will never force you to follow my beliefs or try to convince you that he is not your God. You should show this same kind of respect to people like myself. Let us be and do not believe it is your job to try and save us by dragging us to your chosen path in life. I know God, I'm good with my path and my relationship with Him. Keep thy religion to thyself.

No one can tell, nor force anyone to read, nor not to read, nor to listen, nor not to listen, nor do, nor not to do, nor to believe, nor not to believe, nor force anyone to do anything they are not ready or want to do. Everyone has been blessed by a Loving God with their own Soul, Mind and Freewill, not to be directed by anyone else but themselves, in such Higher matters of Heart and Mind. The Goodwill, will ever show the way. We may thank the God for that, for He is the Good.
One can only share what they have come to understand as the Good in this existence; what has raised them to happiness and joy in this life. This is the testament or revelation of what is the Truth in this material world. This is success, beyond the success of men and the world. Its secret is and ever will be Love, not as men of the world say love, as lust, but of the Spirit of Christ. For such Love is the Light of the world. Let them hear it who can, let them receive it who can. :-)

As far as "One can only share what they have come to understand", do you mean the ones who simply answer a question (just any ol question) with slammed or thumped on the screen instruction of, "read your bible" like they assume everyone on this earth even owns a bible?
I find people like that shallow, pretentious and very uneducated about God.
Why would you ask this?
God merely asks that you do love him.. More precisiely, that you honor him, and keep no othe rbefore him. If you honored the pursuit of money today more than you did yetserday, than you did not love Giod as much as yesterday.
Daily, we (as human beings) drift from one side of the baot to the other) Life is a daily struggle, between good and evil, worldly and Godly. We seek oneness with God, but are of this world. Therfore, we, imperfect beings as we were so created, struggle. We must not be overly hard on ourselves, as God understands this struggle. We merely need to take note of what we had done during the day and refelct upon it, and ask that god be pleased with what we did, forgive us for what we did (or failed to do) and the strengthen us of rthe tasks and challenges of tomorrow.
Do you ask this because you fear you are not loving God enough? or, so that if you can klove him more, you will rest more assured that your soul will find favor with God so to be guaranteed a place in heaven? If so, I would caution you. Fear is ALSO the devils tool. It makes us believe we are less than we are, and therefore, striving for the impossible. Eventually, Satan egts enough of a grasp that he convinces us we are not worthy, and thus our house begins to crumble. If you seek More of God's favor, than ypour love is misdirected.
JUST LOVE... "Jesus asked of Peter "do you love me?" and Pete ranswered. "Yes Lord, you kmow I love you" Then Jesus said "Tend my sheep" Jesus didn't say, "more than yetserday?", no say "show me?"... or even "how much?" he merely asks that we love Him..
May god gant your heart and mind peace...................

Secondly, my reference to "respect for others" is linked to the question's subtext,which you obviously overlooked.
"Now we want others to experience the life and freedom of a renewed mind in Jesus Christ."
The aforementioned statement by the writer is what I take issue with.
