Truth, love, and patience.

When spreading the Word of God, no matter how hard I try, I find it very tough to spread the Word of God without the person I'm preaching to thinking I'm a hateful bigot and getting very angry. I'm asking for advise on how to spread the Word of God without angering someone and also not veering off from the truth at the same time. Is this even impossible at some points? How do we overcome this?

Hey! Jesus is sovereign...
Praise the Lord that you share the gospel with others! Sadly, I suspect, that were in the last days which the scripture tells us, "except there is a falling away the end shall not come." We're dealing with a time of hardened hearts and slothful believers who remain babes-in-Christ during their entire spiritual life, sadly.
When you share the Lord Jesus and his amazing sacrifice of love, be ready to stop they become defensive and before arguing, so that the next person who shares the gospel with them, will be able to water the seed which you've planted. It is an effort managed by the Holy Spirit. Pray for them that they become furtile soil for the seed of the word and that the Lord paves the way for that person to see the truth. This is especially true for these last days before the Lord's return.
A great booklet regarding soul winning is called, The way to God; by DL Moody, which led me to successful soul winning. The Lord anoint you with himself and make his word to be the power of his might to both your heart and mind. The Lord give you an ever increasing faith, and a growing love for those whom he loves, so so much in Jesus' name, our God and King, both now and forever.

Everyone in the US knows about Jesus so what's the point of witnessing? You know what the best way to lead people to Christ is? Live it. Then those who are appointed to be saved will see Jesus in you and be drawn to him.

Hello JesusIsSovereign, I don't know exactly how you are approaching people and what you are saying to them, so I cannot give you specifics, but one thing that you might consider as a possibility is that people may be getting the wrong idea (as sadly, many do). Quite frankly, sometimes it doesn't matter what you say because all they end up hearing you say (at first blush anyway) is that 'you' are a good person, and 'they' are a bad person.

That isn't what we mean, of course, but the question is, how can we convince them of that, yes?

One way to go would be by allowing them to do it for you In the end, some of them will still get mad at you when they realize what you've done, but at least it will be harder for them to be 'as' mad at you (since they came to the conclusions that you wanted them to, but they did so on their own).

I believe that this method of teaching is called the Socratic method, and it involves asking leading questions of people to help them come to the answers/conclusions that you want them to, the answers/conclusions that you know that they need to come to (to understand why they need to know the Savior and come to saving faith in Him, for instance).

If you are interested in pursuing this idea a bit further, here's a book that will help you: Tactics, 10th Anniversary Edition: A Game Plan for Discussing Your Christian Convictions: Koukl, Gregory, Lee Strobel: 9780310101468: Amazon.com: Books

I believe that Dr. Koukl has a YouTube channel as well, just FYI.

God bless you!!

~Deuteronomy (David)
p.s. - while all are not specifically called to be evangelists, all of us are called to be the Lord's "witnesses" in this world (Isaiah 43:10-11; Acts 1:8). Witnessing is typically a far more personal thing that uses a more personal approach than evangelism does. Basically, you tell others about why you became a Christian (and how, if it comes to that), what it has meant to you to be a Christian, how it has helped you, how life today is better for you as a believer than it was for you before you became one, what knowing God and being loved by Him has meant to you/what it's like, etc., and it always helps to work in a verse or two from the Bible whenever you witness to people, of course (Romans 10:17), perhaps a verse or two that is meaningful or important to you in some way, and/or one that fits in with what you're telling them, etc.

It's kind of like being a witness in a court room. You tell people what you know, what you've seen, heard & experienced, how you feel, etc.

Also, you may want to listen to the 4th message (called "How to Witness") from a 4-part teaching series called, Spiritual Boot Camp), as it will give you a number of other ideas about evangelism/witnessing, and practical ways to apply those ideas, as well The entire 4-part series is free to listen to online here (just scroll down a bit when you get there and click on How to Witness (and the other three parts too, if you'd care to).

Finally, be sure to talk to your pastor and ask him for his help with this (and tell him everything that you've told us). Perhaps your church has a class or a program or a ministry that you could join, as going it on your own, especially with something like witnessing, evangelism and/or apologetics can be tough at times. Oh, and don't be discouraged, just keep up the good work in His precious Name (as you are doing what he has called you to do, loving others by helping them to find Him)

We are called to spread the gospel, even if someone may already know about it.

Can you point me to scripture that says that? When Christ told the eleven disciples to go into all of the world and proclaim the gospel he was talking specifically to them. Not everyone is called to be an apostle or evangelist; far from it. Expecting everyone to go out and proclaim the gospel puts a yoke of bondage on those who are not called to do so..

We are all called to be fishers of men, not just the apostles he was talking to.

No we're not. That was said to a few disciples, who did indeed fulfill their apostolic commission. We are all called to live righteous lives and manifest the particular gifts given to us in order to edify the church. Then if we actually live the life and walk the walk, those on on the outside who hunger and thirst for righteousness will see Christ in us and be drawn to him. Instead they don't see Jesus in the people "witnessing" to them and are rightfully turned off. Witnessing as it's practiced today is a distraction and an excuse to not obey the words of Christ

once you sense the drag on the line, set the hook and reel them in!
