“Please offer some examples of “convert or die” Christianity”

Basically the last 2000 years of history, the last 75 or so in the USA being the bear lone (and wonderful) exception.

That cite was basically an unsupported rant.

E.g. - the assertion of early Christians misunderstanding of the Jewish faith - The apostles were all of the Jewish faith, and Paul, the apostle formerly known as Saul, was a devout Jew and a religious scholar before conversion.

I know of no Jewish persecution promoted by or through Christianity. There is nothing in the Christian scriptures to promote Jewish persecution.

As a Catholic, I was taught that the Jews were the Chosen People. Jesus and his Apostles and followers were Jews. I don’t understand antisemitism.

Please list the instances of Jews being forced to "convert or die" prior to 75 years ago in the United States. I mean it. Because, quite frankly, my friend . . . there aren't any!!! I don't know where you're getting your information. Also please explain why moslems who kill Jews to this very day aren't nearly as scary.

You're beginning to sound more and more like one of those people who insists that the only place in which Jews may safely observe the Torah is a sewer. You're giving a very, very bad impression here.
