Will Spencer of the "Renaissance of Men" interviews Dr. R. Mark Musser on his book entitled, "Nazi Ecology: The Oak Sacrifice of the Judeo-Christian Worldview in the Holocaust" which demonstrates the essential pagan worldview of National Socialism and how its racist Social Darwinism was co-mingled with ecology since it cannot be separated from biology that played no small role in the Shoah.

In all of that there is not one example of directing people to convert each other.
My original point
What a stupid question.
Some people are defined as Christian merely because they are born or raised in a predominately Christian country and are not Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu, or other.
But devout Christians define a Christian as someone who has sincerely and by his own volition given his heart and soul to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Yes, this is the question - certainly not the God of Scripture. Hitler was a pantheist. “God is with us” is some kind of pantheized/nature worship version of Hegel’s World Spirit that is leading Germany into the promised-land of the Fatherland - 1,000 year Reich - a false millennialism that never came true.
“ You convert people with that tactic?
Telling the truth is always a beautiful thing. All progress starts with telling the truth.
I’ve never converted anyone myself. God has. Sometimes He uses me.
He always uses truth to do it.”
This is correct
Too bad you screwed it up with this bastardisation of what Christian’s are to treat others:
“You should turn to Him be converted”
It’s not like Catholics are in any position to point fingers given the Catholic church’s dealings with Jews over the centuries.
“ bro....for the umpteenth time....no one is arguing for a forcible conversion to Christianity. Got it??”
Yeah they are. And their nastiness here proves the point.
Thanks!
Yes, this is certainly a problem ....
The directive by Jesus is to preach the gospel.
The conversion is done by the convicting work of the Holy Spirit.
Forcing others to join a religion is not conversion as it does not regenerate the spirit.
I told you the truth and made a well wish for eternal life for you.
If that offends you, your issue isn’t with me, but with Him.
A real believer would not be offended in the least by a suggestion they should turn to Him for conversion.
ergo...
Yeah they are. And their nastiness here proves the point.
Nope.
Not one believer has said what you falsely claim.
That you continue to repeat this false claim says a lot about your true agenda.
+1
And also those that didn’t believe - like atheists who were mercilessly killed.
Yep.
How do you respond when someone tells you you’re not Christian enough
“You should …”
Or you’re not driving the right way you should listen to me I’m better than you at it. When you change and you’re as good a driver as me then you’ll have the privilege of driving me, my kids”
You should cook as well as I do
You don’t mow the lawn in the right pattern. You should…
You don’t go to the right church. If you do what I do you’ll go to heaven like I am going
Or are you someone who says these things to Others without being able to take it when they do it to you.
All I can do is ask you to consider opening your heart to Jesus so that he can explain to you that bringing the Gospel to an unbeliever for the purpose of conversion would be far greater than performing CPR.
The Gospel is about saving an eternal life.
I am reminded of Matthew 13:13, where Jesus speaks of willful blindness:
"Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand..."The idea here reflects the human tendency to close one's eyes to spiritual truths because of stubbornness, contentiousness, disbelief, or a refusal to open one's heart and mind to God's message.
“A real believer would …”
No where in Christianity does it instruct Christians to make any such judgement. It nowhere instructs us how to do so
It is impossible for anyone to judge another’s relationship with anyone else. And not with God
“understand this simple commandment.”
Yes I do
And no where does it instruct people to convert other people.
