Whats the difference between christians saying accept jesus or go to hell, and muslims saying all non-muslims are infidels?

Being jewish I love it, we don't proselytize. When asked about jesus, I always ask why don't you go try to get the millions of christians who never go to church? Hey take care your own people then try to save others. If your own people aren't buying it, and I am happy with what I am doing, then don't bother me.

Sorry, I flame away.

The true Christian is obliged to share his faith. It's not a question of taking care of one group of people over another. It is our duty and privilege to share the message, to all, of salvation through Christ crucified.

That's our job, everyone's else's job is to choose to believe or not.

When some people find a wonderful thing, they want to share it with others. Then again some folks want to keep good things to themselves.

I never understood why people who believe they have found something profoundly valuable would not care about whether others receive the same blessing.

How Jews have benefited from proselytizing: Yes, that's right, benefited. Without jewish proselytizing BC and into the early christian era there wouldn't be enough Jews today to sustain Israel, it probably would not have been founded in the first place. (In my view, the Jews were more enlightened then.

Has it ever occurred to you that if you invited certain peoples (especially in the middle east) to share in the blessings of Yahweh, the security of Israel and Jews generally might IMPROVE? Those poor folk have no clue as to what the blessings of the Hebrews are.

As a great Jew once said: "How shall they hear, without a preacher?"

There are plenty of 'Christians' that felt sure they wouldn't be sitting eternally in hell right now, rest assured. The point is, what happens to the real you, the you that exists beyond that flesh, the one no one can see, when your eternal ticket is punched and you transfer on to the rest of eternity? That's the question for every man or woman, labeled or not.

That's easy; the Christians think they are trying to help you avoid it, while the Muslims are obligated by their religion to use violent force to try to send you there.

In other words, there is no fundamental doctrine of Christianity that requires conversion of the infidel or his death at the point of a sword. Unfortunately, Islam cannot make that claim...
