I don't believe it should be eradicated, and yes I am a Christian. The people I attend church with and the preacher who leads our congregation feel the same way. We are tasked by God to carry the Word to every corner of the earth, so that all may
hear. The Bible clearly states that not all will accept Jesus Christ and many will in fact persecute Christians. So no, I don't desire non-Christian belief to be eradicated. I desire everyone to have the
opportunity to accept Christianity. There is a very distinct difference between the two. Anyone who desires or hopes for eradication of non-Christian belief has either misinterpreted what the Scripture says or is the victim of false teachings. There is much I don't understand and will never understand, but this is crystal clear to me. Just out of curiosity, were you Catholic, Baptist, Methodist etc.?
Your statement was open to interpretation by the reader. I never said you
were implying Christians wish to kill nonbelievers, I said regardless of your intended meaning it
sounds like you might think so, depending on who is reading, based on how they interpret what you wrote . Your choice of words is what I questioned. I feel it is important to make the distinction because many who are unfamiliar with Christianity could easily come to the wrong conclusion by reading such a statement and could make a comparison between Christianity and the beliefs of islamic extremists, if they are unfamiliar with "religions". While this may seem like something very elementary, it is done on occassion and I felt it should be addressed.
