ETYMOLOGY:
Latin coercre, to control, restrain : co-, co- + arcre, to enclose, confine

They may be stopped from doing so but not by not coercion, that is, threats or intimidation.

I didn't say threaten or intimidate.

I never said you did but you did said COERCE and that is what coerce can means. See the above definition.
As I've said before, this is why English is a bad language to use for theological discussion.
