But, then, many Christians aren't looking to convert anyone. (It simply wasn't something we did in the diocese where I grew up.) And [big disclaimer here] a few extremist Muslims aren't looking to allow anyone who isn't Muslim to survive.

But as an institution, Christianity has historically encouraged it more than any other. Or at the very least, have been most successful at expanding their conversion efforts worldwide. Just ask native Americans and Africans and European pagans, and just about everyone during the crusades, and countless island nations, and...well you get the point.

I'm sure there are Jews that have taken it upon themselves to proselytize their religion, but if they do so it's without encouragement from any accepted part of the community or the world-wide institution such as it exists.

I know some groups are more into upholding Christ's command than others. To certain groups, it is COMMAND!

This was one of the songs we sang over and over based on Matthew 4:19-20 and Mark 1:17.

"I will make you fishers of men
fishers of men
fishers of men
I will make you fishers of men
if you follow Me

if you follow Me
if you follow Me
I will make you fishers of men
if you follow Me..."

In my church, we took the Fishers of Men part pretty seriously - my family even more so since my Mom was raised a version of Pentecostal.


Oh, and in my seraches to confirm bible verses (somehow I just cn't quote them like I used to) I found GODTUBE!
