>> Again, I ask you a simple question. Why do you choose to persecute Jews (or Muslims)? << simply declaring the truth about their evil religion is not persecution! it is the most loving thing i can offer them! love for a jew or a muslim means: 1) not lying to them just to make them feel good or to make them like me. 2) boldly preaching them the truth about Jesus Christ as the apostles did to the jews in the book of acts. 3) warning them to flee the wrath to come if they do not repent of their misdeeds and flee their religions of darkness, deception, and death. this is the ultimate love for jew, muslim, gentile, pagan, whomever. most have been brainwashed by society into believing that love for a jew means telling him his religion is ok, just as good as the next. brainwashed into believing that he doesn't need Jesus Christ, he can be a good and peaceful muslim or a peaceful jew and work his way to heaven that way.

>> Why not leave the judgements to God? << as i said before, this is not the judgment according to cyprian, this is the judgment of the Lord, the Holy Spirit who wrote the divine scriptures. i simply declare the judgments of God that are already expressed in the scriptures. i am not making up new judgments according to my own whims. >> To manipulate the scripture to condemn other faiths seems to contradict your confidence in your own faith. << prove it! if i manipulate scripture you should be able to demonstrate it to everyone here using other scriptures. i openly challenge you or anyone else here to prove that i am twisting the meaning of scripture falsely. >> Why not let other cultures enjoy their free will to express their love of God? << For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens. (Psalsm 96:5) moses didn't make the heavens muhammed didn't make the heavens buddha didn't make the heavens the dalai lama didn't make the heavens zeus didn't make the heavens jupiter didn't make the heavens diana didn't make the heavens JESUS CHRIST made the heavens and all things therein. i preach the One True God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, as my Lord commands me to do. for most of my life i rejected Jesus Christ and wallowed in darkness, deception, and death. but the Lord Jesus Christ had mercy on me and shined his glorious light upon me, even though i was not worthy to behold it. why would i not want to share this with every other human being possible? there is nothing greater than knowing Jesus Christ, my Lord and my God.

>> Personally, I think God gives us free will to wrestle with the meaning of the scripture << you are correct that God gives every person free will, and while he desires the salvation of all men, he does not force anyone to accept salvation. >> I don't think religious persecution of other faiths is a constructive way to worship God << it's sad that you think simply declaring the truth equates to "persecution of other faiths". like i said before, i am simply following the will of the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. (Ephesians 5:11) as Christians we are not called to simply ignore other faiths, we are called to expose these enemies of Christ. For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth. (Titus 1:10-14) the Lord commands us by St. Paul to stop their mouths, to rebuke sharply! we are told to... Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. (2 Timothy 4:2) now does this sound like we are to simply to quietly mind our own business ignoring the evil religions of darkness? >> It promotes one's faith above all others. << i am called to promote Jesus Christ..."Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:" (Ephesians 1:21)
