Isn't it our sacred duty as Christians to destroy all other faiths?

Question

Deuteronomy12:30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.

Answer 1

Oh, so you're a Christian now? Congratulations!

Jesus said, "be aware of a wolf in sheeps clothing."

Answer 2

No mate, its a conquest to clearly show them the way of Christ and that this is the only way into eternal life. There will always be other religions even during the tribulation, that is why some will get left. They still will not repent during the last days.
Run the race that Paul mentioned and don't ever be afraid to speak what is in your spirit to others about Christ. Don't argue or get angry, say what is needed to say and walk away praying for that person. Know that you have planted, or watered that seed that God (not us) is growing there.
It would be nice to get rid of pagan faiths but it will not happen and violence was only used in the OT.

Answer 3

Ok first of all...are you even a christain?

and second of all NO! God has respect for other peoples faith. He IS a jealous God bu kind. Yes and we sould pray for those who dont believe in God. Praying and reading the Bible or going to church is NOT A WASTE OF TIME! I have become more closer to God just reading other peoples questions or answers about god cause some think he isnt real

Answer 4

The problem with quoting the Bible, Koran, or Torah, or any other religious book, is that people often take the passage's out of context. Remember the little thing called the Ten Commandment's, Thou shall not kill!!

Answer 5

No. Get a life. Everyone has the right to choose their own religion. Who are you to decide what is the right and wrong path? God knows. And trust me, S/He can do Her/His work far better than you ever can. In fact, God can do God's work by Godself. First, get rid of your supersized ego. Then, become the best person that you can be. Only then will you 'save' yourself and the world.

Answer 6

NO!!!First of all, you're in the Old Test. In the New Test we "destroy" other faiths by gently and lovingly spreading the word of God so that others may come to know the truth.

Answer 7

First is stupidity to say that our god. God is not a privet property of Christians. He is of all and he is for all. God makes difference only in good and bad human being. Just sticking label of Christianity does not makes you great or extra ordinary, but it's depends on how you present yourself to others. Your behavior, your conduct, your nature, make you great. And only this manner you can make happy to (not yours only) God. As i am an Indian I do respect your religion your beliefs and Jesus also. Once come in India and see many Indians go to temple as well Mussjid and Church too for praying God. We don't make any difference in God. This is impossible to be a separate or privet God for each religion. If Christians have made their God then who made Hindus, Muslims, and others? So this is stupidity to think like so. May be we have different religion, beliefs, views, ideas, cultures, living styles but our goal, object, aim must be only God, to worship of God, to find out God, to know truth. So be a good man, a God's man. And your God will be please to you. And one more thing I have to ask you, do you think that you are savior of God? Have you more strength than your God ? Do you feel that he can't save himself? Who are you to decide which religion false or true? God himself have capacity to decide right and wrong and to destroy wrong. Pepole like you are bleme for your religion. You are condemning your God and your people.

Answer 8

That's not what this verse refers to. This is a warning to the Jews of the Old Testament to not participate in the pagan practices of the nations they conquer.

Did Jesus go out and physically fight the other faiths? No. He drew them to him through love. We should do the same.

Answer 9

Of course not!!

As Christians the sacred duty is to love as the same way God loves us, and even more dificult task to love people who are different from us. Because to love people like us is easy but the contrary is so hard.

War to the death against depravity: depravity is Christianity

First proposition.— Every type of anti-nature is depraved. The most depraved type of man is the priest: He teaches anti-nature. Against the priest one doesn't use arguments, one uses the penitentiary.

Second proposition.— Every participation in divine service is an assassination attempt on public morality. One should be more severe toward Protestants than toward Catholics, more severe toward liberal Protestants than toward the orthodox. The criminal character of a Christian increases when he approaches knowledge [Wissenschaft]. The criminal of criminals is consequently the philosopher.

Third proposition.— The accursed places, in which Christianity has hatched its basilisk eggs, should be razed to the ground and be, as vile places of the earth, the terror of all posterity. One should breed poisonous snakes there.

Fourth proposition.— The sermon on chastity is a public instigation to anti-nature. Every display of contempt for sexual love, and every defilement of it through the concept "dirty" ["unrein"] is original sin against the holy spirit of life.

Fifth proposition.— With a priest at one's table food is pushed aside: one excommunicates oneself therewith from honest society. The priest is our chandala—he should be ostracized, starved, and driven into every kind of desert.

Sixth proposition.— One should call the "holy" story by the name that it deserves, as the accursed story; one should use the words "God," "Saviour," "redeemer," "saint" as invectives, as criminal badges.

Seventh proposition.— The rest follows therefrom.

The Antichrist

Answer 11

why would God ask anyone to destroy others? Christianity, Islam, and Judaism all have the same God with similar underlying teachings. God told Christians to accept Jews and then told Muslims to accept Christians and Jews. its not God that wants people to destroy, its people that misinterpret to destroy.
