    The document discusses three questions about Christianity: 1) People cannot force others to believe in Jesus, as some try to dominate and control others through religious coercion. 2) In history, some have oppressed people and justified wrongful acts by claiming to do so in Jesus' name, often to satisfy personal desires rather than God's will. 3) If asked how one can call themselves Christian given past harms, one can respond that some who claimed to be Christian were not truly acting as such, and that a person presently should not be defined by the misdeeds of others in history.

    assessment

     Why do people think they can force someone to become a believer and
    follower of Jesus?

    People think they can force others to believe and follow Jesus. People try every day to achieve
    domination over other people so one way they attempt to do that is by forcing other people to believe
    and follow Jesus. Because of sin in the world.

     To this point in history, how has the name of Jesus been used wrongly to
    oppress people?
    Jesus’ name has been used wrongly. People have done wrong things but thought that their
    actions were just and fine because they were doing it under the name of Jesus. Maybe to get
    what they want. And it will be used to do gods work.

     What can you tell someone if they ask you: How you can call yourself a
    Christian when “Christians” of the past have done so much harm?
    I will say some people were not Christian, they just did so much harm to satisfy themselves in
    Christians' name. someone’s past should not be used to compare his present.
