Catfish, apparently you want me to rub salt in the wound, given how you're presenting it and just begging, and I'm cool with that. Shall we look around real quick, see the larger context for what the bible recommends your ilk should do with unbelievers?
First of all, just a few verses down from my initial quote, in John 9, it talks about those who "abideth not in the doctrine of Christ." That's a rather interesting leap for a passage that's about christians, according to you. The thing about your claim is that you refuse to support it, though, with anything other than flat assertions, when nothing in context- and I already explained that I'd read the entire passage before I posted- would lead me to believe that unbelievers would be excluded, here. How about you post something of actual content explaining why you think otherwise, as opposed to just going "nuh uh!" again, like a child?
In any case, we have other verses describing what you guys should do to nonbelievers, and it's no more pretty or contradictory to the point I was making:
They should be shunned, for one: "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? ... Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord." -- 2 Cor.6:14-17
Presumably before you murder them in cold blood: "If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers; Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you ... Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him: But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die." -- Dt.13:6-10
So... I mean, hey. These aren't the actions of a people who think we aren't antichrists. But I'm sure you'll rush to tell us how these passages actually apply to fishmongers, or people who ride horses sidesaddle, or something.
And I'm sure that, when you do, you'll have exactly the same level of evidence for it as you did for your initial claim. Embarrass yourself away, fishy!
