What a chutzpah! Like I said, I daily declare that there is only one G-d and that He alone is my deity. Judaism is the only religion I'm interested in. You notice, you NEVER see Jews here trying to browbeat non-Jews into becoming Jews? You follow your religion, you should live and be well, and I'll follow mine---without any additions from your religion, thank you.

Jesus has commanded us (me) to share the gospel -- the good news -- that men do no have to die in their sins. Jesus has paid for them. One receives the free gift of salvation by faith in Christ's finished work, not in our works of the law.

(Jesus speaking to the Pharisees) I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. (John 8:24)

It is an act of love to bring the good news to those who are perishing, even if they will not receive it, and even if they kill the messenger. It is not "brow beating" but an offer that can be accepted or rejected. But some resist hearing the truth so strongly that they want to kill the messenger.

(Jesus speaking to the Pharisees) I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you. ... If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard from God; this did not Abraham. (John 8:37-40)

Believe and live. Either way you will never forget this conversation we are having. I pray that it will not be one of eternal regret.

STUFF IT. I’m not interested in anything having to do with other religions, including their deities, customs, or propaganda.
