your question was whether expressing one's opinions on faith to someone means that man determines other men's salvation. I stated that that is wrong

My question is still the same: can my religious opinion(s) give someone faith or cause him to loose it? Which is equivalent to asking, can one's religious opinion(s) save or condmen an individual (since faith = salvation)? If the answer is yes, then man is a necessary element in another man's salavtion/perdition, which is not Christian belief.

If you put your foot out in front of someone running by, did you cause them to fall?

Many people slip or trip without a foot in the way; many recover from someone putting a foot in front of them; some faceplant immediately.

But that still doesn't let *you* off the hook.

Cheers!
