Conversion doesn't have to include violence. And when you think about it, it isn't an aspect of real Christianity, the one that was taught by the Messiah Himself.

When Jesus was on earth and even after that in the Early Church, violence was not used in conversion.

And really--it isn't of God to force people to convert violently. Conversion is an individual choice.

I think what you mean is that evangelism is violence--which isn't SUPPOSED TO BE THE CASE.

The reason why some resort to violence in trying to "convert" people is because they resist to their own flesh instead of acting in the Spirit and asking God for the words to say.

If you still think that "conversion" is violence, go'head.

But you're badly mistaken.
