Inquisition

this isnt a question.
But the main difference between Jews and Christians is that they dont believe in Jesus as the Messiah. So, if you "forced" a Jewish person to accept Him as the Messiah, you would: A) be forcing him to change his entire believe system, B) wouldnt be living a Christian life, C) would probably have the person be lying to your face to get you to leave him alone. One of the main principals of Christianity is supposed to be understanding and acceptance.

Hitler and the Nazis tried that too, as did the monks during the Spanish Inquistion, and look how that series of events turned out...Force ...aren't we just a little sick of 'force' and war in religion? We should be. Don't become a bigot. Accept that there are differences in the world. Take care of making your life an example of kindness and tolerance and good will.
Leave the force at home on a shelf, and never, ever dust it.

You cannot force anyone to accept Jesus. They might do so outwardly if they are coerced but you can't make them to actually believe.
True faith does not come from coercion. It is a conversion of heart and mind and that cannot be forced.

You can't force anyone to accept Jesus. It has to be a matter of the heart.

You can't force someone to accept Jesus! You CAN tell them abuot Jesus and let them see the GOD or Jesus in you.

Then you are not acting like Jesus, who gave uf our free-will.
Just pray for them that the Holy Spirit wil touch their heart till they are able to say Jesus is Lord [1Corr.11:2].

Forcing your religion on people was done before. It was called the Inquisition. It's wrong! People who force themselves on others in this way find a special kind of punishment in the hereafter...

That's impossible...only the Holy Spirit can convict the truth about Jesus to people.
