Which verse in Corinthians do you have in mind here?
the history of the catholic church has always been one of money and power. Look at the conquest of the native americans. Even if you believe that the pope is a kind gentle soul that wants to save everyone from hell and not a man that wants the power the church used to have 400 years ago, the fact is that the bible lends to either converting every one who can be converted or killing/shunning/outcasting those who cant.
sorry it took so long to see you responce i'm new to the forum.
I thought you said Corinthians. You have cited Chronicles.
