True Christians never killed anyone to convert them

Other religions like catholicism are lumped in as Christian, but Christ has nothing to do with catholicism. So the lie is spread that Christians kill those who don't convert to Christianity. However, in the old testament God instructed his people to wage war against the heathen and he said to be merciless. God said to spare no one, not even babies. But all that was before Jesus came to earth. As a matter of fact Jesus is the God of the old testament. God no longer orders Christians to kill. But there is a valuable lesson to be learned from back in the time that Christians waged war. The way they fought is the ONLY way to fight a war. There is no such thing as politically correct or humane warfare. America's military leaders would be wise to go into the old testament and find out how to wage war that wins wars. One more thing, when God's people fought in the old testament they weren't fighting to convert the heathen. They were fighting to wipe out the heathen so that the truth of God wouldn't be polluted by filtHy and abominable heathen religions of which catholicism and Islam are chief perpetrators. I'm so glad I found a blog where so many people know the truth and are not afraid to tell it. Keep up the good work everyone.
