Parhad,

I presented the historical facts and you couldn’t rebut any one of them. I established using historical facts available in any encyclopedia that it would have been impossible for anyone to force Armenians to become Christians.

I presented open challenges on the topic which geographically and chronologically includes Armenia and you presented nothing.

What happened ? Lamasu got your tongue?

>Before we get ten more posts asking for dates..I`ll just say I have none...no proof to offer...except I`d like someone to show me ONE instance when any pagan culture...up to today...threw away anything for Jesus....I`m basing my statement on the implausibility of the Church`s ridiculous contention...ANY CHRISTIAN church!!! As well as the known and bloody recoed of forced conversions everywhere else in the world.

>The few instances Paul mentioned are ones in which the dominant culture was hardly impressed...they adopted his version of Christianity here and there..in small pockets..as we have lots of weird sects of Christianity..as well as the Protestant Reformation and all the sects IT spawned..where no one was ORIGINALLY forced to convert..not until they had the power to force conversions and then they went to it pell mell..slaughtering people into Christ.

>Paul`s examples prove my point..not his...I say where people were given the free choice, the overwhelming majority stayed right where they were...how then do we explain for the SAME Jew-based, Messiah laced religion SWEEPING everywhere else? We account for it by looking at who was weilding the broom..and what we know of how they did it..in other words...it`s the Romans and they forced and murdered people into Jesus...after depressing and inspiring the growth of the Messiah complex in Paul.

>All we`ve accomplished, it seems to me, is proving Paul is a Jew...proving that Dean doesn`t have the encyclopedias he said he had..and that all cultures who came to Christ, forsaking their own ways, were killed and brutalized into it..and oh yes...wherever Christianity didn`t use violence it remained a minor something or other for 2000 years..and shows no signs of gaining any ground in the next 10,000.

>All of which shows us that it had absolutely no earth shattering anything to it...and CERTAINLY not for the people of Ashur.
>
>I rest my case...and Paul can be a Jew...he has Ashur`s blessings, I am sure. Speaking for him let me say we never meant you people any harm and next time get your own stories.
