Unlike some people here, I don't proselytize

For, with the heart, we believe unto justice; but, with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation. ...How then shall they call on him, in whom they have not believed? Or how shall they believe him, of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear, without a preacher?...Faith then cometh by hearing; and hearing by the word of Christ

and would appreciate NOT being told that I should believe the way someone else else does,

Acts 1:14 - "All these were persevering with one mind in prayer with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren"

Romans 12:16 - "Being of one mind one towards another"

Romans 15:5,6 - "Now the God of patience and of comfort grant you to be of one mind one towards another, according to Jesus Christ: That with one mind, and with one mouth, you may glorify God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. "

2 Corinthians 13:11 - "For the rest, brethren, rejoice, be perfect, take exhortation, be of one mind, have peace; and the God of peace and of love shall be with you."

Philippians 1:27 - "Only let your conversation be worthy of the gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and see you, or, being absent, may hear of you, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind labouring together for the faith of the gospel."

Philippians 2:2 - "Fulfill ye my joy, that you may be of one mind, having the same charity, being of one accord, agreeing in sentiment."

1 Peter 3:8 - "And in fine, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, being lovers of the brotherhood, merciful, modest, humble:"

Sorry, neighbor. There is only one God, and therefore only one truth. So yes, you must believe as someone else does. You must believe the one truth.

or that I should "BURN MY BIBLE"; as I was ordered to do, by another poster here.

"Ordered"? It was really more of a suggestion. I am a little sorry about that, though. I had intended to put a ": )" on the end of that, so you would know that I was in jest. Not that the KJV is not a really awful translation, and you really should get yourself a real Bible at some point. But it was not my intent to hurt your feelings, and I apologize if I have done so.

You weren't "jesting", I have REAL Bibles, proselytizing other CHRISTIANS is not only stupid, but offensive, and if you want a more closed to GOD OT, READ A JEWISH BIBLE!

Now go and ask GOD's forgiveness.
