In Africa, the Christians are the ones teaching others to pray and winning them OUT of the violence. Your statement is backwards. (Big surprise... Roll Eyes)
It's in the Bible...
Exodus 22:18 (King James Version)
18Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
TNO - can you
guess which are from the Christian instructions, and which are from the Jewish instructions?

Those public schools have brainwashed a lot of people, huh? Can you find that number in the Bible anywhere?
The YEC estimate of Earth's age is based on Biblical genealogies. What is your estimate based on?
Um, where did I ever give an estimate? I have no idea how old the Earth is...but God does. He was here when He put it together, and He told us how He did it. He did NOT tell us when. We don't even know how long Adam and Eve lived in the Garden...and if all that time even counts...or what was going on outside it. I just don't happen to believe that "scientists" know more than God.

OK, I know you're really slow...but you do realize that you didn't mention ONE thing from the New Testament. There is really, actually more there than Genesis!
Believe it or not, Christians did not exist BEFORE Christ. So, my original point, that Christians who are Christians actually believe and live what we're taught...you didn't even touch it yet. So sorry.
So? Christians are expected to accept the OT as a factual account, are they not?
History, literature, allegory, poetry...
Here's a "homework assignment" for you, Non-Learning One...What is the difference between the Orthodox Jew (or the Jew of several centuries ago), and today's modern
true Christian? Bet you can't get that one right.
