[QUOTE=thomas;45446]I checked this entire thread. No such verses were cited in spite of claims they could be cited.
[B]There is nothing in Christianity in the scriptures or oral tradition that tells the Christian they should destroy idols and places of worship of those outside of the faith.[/B] Any statements to that effect are false, and no wonder so much time is spent dodging the issue instead of production the scriptures, which would be easy to do IF they existed.
I shouldn’t have to go on a wild goose chase of my own looking for something that doesn’t exist.[/QUOTE]
:lol: HAHAHA! HAHAHA!!! Since your’e so eager.
Leviticus 17:7-9: “And they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto devils…Whatsoever man…that offereth a burnt offering or sacrifice, And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer it unto the LORD; even that man shall be cut off from among his people.”
Numbers 1:51: “…when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.”
Numbers 3:10: “…they shall wait on their priest’s office, and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.”
Numbers 17:13: “…whosoever cometh any think near onto the tabernacle of the Lord shall die.”
(Regarding the treatment of non-Israelites who come too close to the temple).
Deuteronomy 17:2-5: “If there be found among you…[a] man or woman…[who] hath gone and served other gods and worshipped them…then shalt though bring forth that man or that woman…and shalt stone them with stones, till they die.”
Deuteronomy 32:16-20: “They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger. They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.”
Psalms 106:35-38: “But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works. And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them. Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils…”
Corinthians 10:20-21: “But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils.”
Corinthians 6:14-17: “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers [in Christ]: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial [Baal]? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel…Wherefore come out from among them and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.”
Timothy 4:1: “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils…”
Revelation 9:20-21: “And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk.”
Exodus 23:24 Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images.
(Look these up…too tired)
Exodus 22:20
Deuteronomy 13:6-10
Deuteronomy 13:12-16
Deuteronomy 17:2-7
Mark 6:11
John 5:19
1 John 2:22
2 John 1:10
Jude 5
Countless others that will just have me bursting out in laughter. So what will you say? “Oh, those are not really…blah blah blah blah…continues equivocal speech on what is Christian and what is not by redefining Christian a dozen times and by tossing in modern secular and humanistic ideals while ignoring 2000 years+ of intolerance, hate, genocide, etc…”
but that doesn’t make it any less Christian simply because I am an Indian worshiping him.
