i know a lot about christianity and its dark history but i have come across some christians who think they need to convert the world and enforce there beliefs but of late it seems they are going back to there old ways with killing people or beating them up and trying to convert pagans into there religion? there are christo-pagans for that job not the christians job.
oh on a small note to the jews for jesus. in the jewish belief its agains there rules to convert others it is there sin if they do that.

It won't do them any good to start that crap again. Things are a lot different than they were in the past. The Church does not run things here. We have Freedom of Religion. If they decide to take this to the violent level once more, they will bring about the demise of their own religion. I know several Christians who now refuse to even use the label Christian because of things like this and the fact that so many have taken it upon themselves to "Save" the world.
Good point. Strange how things change in the book, isn't it? The Old Test says not to try to convert... the New Test says Convert the World. Old Test says one man can not take the blame for another's sin. New Test is based around a Human Sacrifice taking on the sins of the entire world.
Did God change his mind??????

Killing People or beating them up? Those people SHOULD be in Jail. Please reference New paper articles or any references you have backing up that statement.
There is no such belief in the Jewish community against conversions. Conversions happen in the synagogue on a regular basis.
IF a person was fired because they were a "non-Christian" they would have the ACLU there before you could bat an eye.
Your comments do not make sense when mixed with logic.

Trying to witness to people is part of being a Christian. However, I have to agree that some Christians feel they have the right to force their beliefs on someone else. And they scream "You are going to hell, sinner!" at everyone in Jesus' name. Giving ALL Christians a bad mantra Do they not realize that goes agaist Jesus' teachings? And that God did give free will. The right to choose.

Oh, on a small note, Jews for Jesus are not under those "rules" any longer.

so sorry for you,
you have it a bit wrong,
God is the one with the love and compassion and grace and forgiveness, he loves you, a sinner, not the sin, he showed us the way to eternal happiness and a purposefilled life.
There are probably many christians who only think they are christians and still have a lot to learn and to change in their lives
however, who of us is perfect ? I rather have a bunch of christians trying to convert people to God and his salvation through Jesus Christ, than having a bunch of fanatics with explosive vests strapped to them blowing innocent people up.
god bless you
