Christ, obviously, was "obnoxious" enough to get Himself crucified.
Disagree with the NT? Not the point, is it marengo. Your post was a twist
of the above to take a shot at me. That's OK as long as we recognize what
your intents are.
The OP was making one, sweeping statement that is not backed by the NT.
"But they'd leave you alone if you let them know you weren't interested" is
not true across the board. The NT is chocked full of instances of
persistence. Do you think the early Church was borne by a bunch of part
time believers who were bored? "Hey, Apostle Dudes, let's go start a
Christian community in Corinth; who cares if they chop our heads off, we're
bored this decade. This might be fun and we can proselytize on Wednesdays
after 8PM. Nothing else to do."
Sorta like that, eh, marengo?
