"Righteousness exalts a nation, But sin is a reproach to any people." - Proverbs 14:34

"The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me, He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God." - 2 Samuel 23:3

Again, there is plenty more, if I care to take the time to post them.

I said:

...let's see some scripture in which Christ tells us to compel our fellow man to righteousness at the point of a gun or by the scruff of his neck.

You responded:

"Righteousness exalts a nation, But sin is a reproach to any people." - Proverbs 14:34

"The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me, He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God." - 2 Samuel 23:3

Again, there is plenty more, if I care to take the time to post them.

Let's examine:

1. Those are both from the Old Testament, so they are not things Christ said.

2. Neither of them says anything about forcing others to be righteous.

If you can't post something that is a rebuttal something I actually posted, please don't waste my time or yours. And before you simply accuse me of not reading, do me the courtesy of actually reading the above.
