Why do I think this question is important? Because I am tired of seeing tactless attempts of converting. Please leave that to members of the church,
So really, what is the point of trying to spread something others already have access to?
Its our job
Mark 16:15
And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.
That means forever . not until people get irritated by it as people were irritated by the message while Christ was alive.
Matthew 10:22
You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. -

Why not be a messenger to the Amazonian tribes, to Aboriginals, to Eskimos? To the Mongolians and those still residing in mountain villages?
I take it that they have never heard of that bible, or most of them (although I might be outdated with the Eskimo lifestyle), go spread the word to new ears?
Look let's be frank here.
If i had a sausage that I seasoned with the best herbs and cooked specially for chosen ones (in fact it's such a special sausage I dare call it holy), would I keep bothering the same people over and over and over and over with this oh so special sausage if they couldn't give a rat's behind for it cause of, oh let's say, FREE WILL?
I'd see people seasoning their sausage with different herbs and some fanatics, to preserve the taste of the juices that our pig sacrificed for us even forget to bring a cut down the middle or pig forbid, drown it in lemon juice and burn it to black after.
I'd see others from far away regions such as Arabia to make fun of our holy sausage and use GOAT AND SHEEP sausage because the pig is forbidden there
I'd look at my sausage, my specially seasoned herbtastic holy sausage and I'd go "wait a minute, maybe my sausage isnt so special after all?" -

On the other end of this spectrum, your religion should never, ever be used to say "If you don't do what I do, you're going to hell!" That will scare people off for good!
Only if they also believe in the Big Bad Wolf. The only thing "scary" about such comments is the psychological problems they imply in the person saying them.
What makes Christianity so nonsensical is that it's based on a completely flawed premise: a perfect being that makes imperfect things. From that one starting point, the theology spreads out into a host of unbelievable and obviously false premises. True, it also contains many bits of wise and useful tips for behavior, although these are mostly common sense things that one shouldn't need a religion to tell them.
But as an overall world view, it's hopeless, which is true of the Abrahamic religions in general. And, as the recent ISIS massacres show never mind radical Islam in general, it can be hideously dangerous.
Religion is like a rocking chair a lot of work to get nowhere. -

There is a book called The Insanity of God. It talks about a Christian man who goes to Somalia to spread the word of God. He actually has to come back to the U.S. cause things got so bad over there and for other family issues. Then he wonders about Christians around the world and wonders what they know. So he goes to places in the middle east, China, Russia etc What you find out throughout the book is most of the areas he went still don't know about The Bible or are imprisoned, tortured and killed for even having a Bible. Yet their are pockets of Christian churches just learning even as late as the 1990s about Jesus his words and his love. So yes to answer your question the word of God has still has to be preach cause not everyone still knows it.
