Why do people post Christian status on Facebook/twitter?

[dj34325]

People post things on Facebook/Twitter because (like you say) they want to spread the Gospel. I'm guessing, like my Facebook feed, many people post inspirational bible versus. People might post a bible verse that helps them get through something or that they think might help others. Referring to the bible verse about people praying on the streets, I'm guessing you are talking about Matthew 6:5. “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others." This verse is not saying to avoid praying in public, it is saying to not pray in public just so you can be seen.

Luke 9:26 - Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.
