Thank You for Your Comments
I wanted to start the week out by thanking all of you for leaving me comments last week. As you know I hit hard the tragedy of the three girls who were brutally beheaded in Indonesia and I posted one picture to show you how serious Christian persecution is.
Amy your comment about appreciating a warning is appreciated, and I think I did warn by naming the post the way I did. Unfortunately because this blog is about persecution and persecution isn't pretty sometimes there might be things on the site that you find offensive. We apologize for that, but hope you understand that this is a serious issue and we have to present the facts, and sometimes that is with pictures.
Origena, you posted that I was a hater. That is not true. I am passionate about the love of Christ towards all and it is that love that compels me.
Bill & Mike you both posted scripture as encouragement to me. Thank you for that. As in the days of the beginning of our faith, and the persecution was great, today it continues and God will reward those who have been martyred in His name.
Sandra, your comment especially touched my heart. You are the reason I posted the picture, and I'm glad that you have been awakened to things you didn't see before. May the Lord bless you as you continue to grow in your faith and knowledge of Him.
Nick, thank you also for your comments. I do not have any hard feelings toward you at all. However, I must say that you took a scripture out of context and misapplied it to make your point. Despite that fact, I understand what you are saying, however I think posting the picture was good.
And finally Brad, thanks for your comment and tie in to the Passion of the Christ. The very reason that movie was so powerful was because of how graphic it was (and I don't think that even came close to reality).
Keep on commenting because we are listening !
