Beheading, stonning, wars, forced marriages, Jihads,etc will cease. You have a peceful world with only christianity remaining. Pls note that christianity isn't a religion,its a relationship!


I am Christian but would never want to force someone to believe or not believe in something

How did the Inquisition work out?


It didn't work out, you can not "force" Christianity on someone. For we are to turn the other cheek, we are to be humble, loving, ect. If someone doesn't wish to believe as we do, that's their choice and will in the end face that judgement. But it's not the Christian's job to "force" anyone to believe anything.


That's my point in my reply :wink:


Tell that to Charlemagne who would massacre everyone in a village that didn't convert. Sure made the rest of the town become "Christian," and is also the main reason that northern and eastern Europe converted.

If the only thing that makes you be a nice person is the fear of a god, then you really aren't a nice person to begin with.


That was someone's choice though, that wasn't Christianity inspired or God inspired in the long run. I also understand that there has been many of the "believe or die" rampages done in the "Christian" name, but that is an entire oxymoron in itself. For again God has always only taught us to be humble and loving as he was, did he raise a finger to those that crucified him? No he didn't, the only thing he did in their hatred and sinful ways is say "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do".

You can't take away beliefs no matter what. Can't force people to believe what you believe. People need to come to it willingly. But history shows you can't eliminate religion

You can tell yourself whatever lies you need to in order to allow you to believe your faith, but the history bears out a different story. When soldiers return to your town to see that the law is enforced, when the images of your faith are burned or melted down and stolen, when your children are massacred before your eyes because you choose to follow your beliefs, when you see the suffering of someone you loved burned at the stake, but wish to see those you love survive for another day - then you may change your outward appearance of a belief system and teach your young ones to embrace a cause that is not your own.

This is what was done. Christianity was spread via the executioners axe. This is how Constantine did it, this is how Charlemagne did it to deny so is only spreading lies which is a sin, and when you lie, you murder something good in another part of the world. Own up to your history and embrace it, because to deny it, is denying the Christ - much as Peter did on Maundy Thursday.

Christianity is purely new testament. The old testament is Jewish if you wish to put a "title" on it. And thus they didn't believe Jesus to be the prophecied one and thus they never moved into the new testament and therefore are still waiting for the old testament scriptures to be fulfilled with their savior.

There has been absolutely no executions done in "Christianity". Christianity teaches to turn the other cheek, executions can not be done by doing such a thing as an execution. They may have claimed to be "Christian". But goes along with the old saying of "walks like a duck, quack likes a duck, probably is a duck". And again anyone executing another is not a Christian belief in any way for any reasons.
