Of course. What I found far more remarkable concerns the hearts and attitudes of these Christians, that they see their persecution as an honor for Christ, their faith, their lack of hatred, their desire for forgiveness, the help of their Muslim neighbors. That their story so clearly demonstrated media bias is merely a plus - hopefully, one that might wake a few people up to the seriousness of such persecution. Because they may well be next!The media is just fine with Christian persecution, haven't you noticed that?
I'm quite sure that Dan220 is talking without his brain being turned ON again! The only way to get accurate news on Christian persecution is a site like http://www.persecution.net ...Christian persecution is rampant - and has never been greater than any time in history - and the only reason we know nothing about it is because don't want to know and we live in comfy countries.Danieltwotwenty wrote:Christian persecution is widely publicised where I live.
I was at the University of Montréal today, walking through the hallways, sometimes following students and listening to their inane conversations.

Again more insults, our media here is quite extensive, especially if you watch the ABC as it is a publicly funded station.Furstentum Liechtenstein wrote:I'm quite sure that Dan220 is talking without his brain being turned ON again!

Sorry, I don't want to insult you. Your fuse is too short, you might want to get that checked.Danieltwotwenty wrote:Again more insults, our media here is quite extensive, especially if you watch the ABC as it is a publicly funded station.

You just proved my point! The ABC is a CRAP service as far as reporting Christian persecution!A loaded comment if there ever was one! Your biggest problem is that you use an allegorical method in interpreting the Bible, hence your confusion when it comes to understanding what is plainly written. Have you figured ou 1 Pe 3:19 yet?Danieltwotwenty wrote:Why FL do you feel the need to keep insulting people, does it make you feel more like a man, or do you think it adds weight to your argument?
My fuse is fine, I am not angry, just confused by your behaviour. If you don't want to insult people, then why do you say nasty things? It makes no sense to me? I feel like you have an inferiority complex and you have to put others down to make yourself feel better.Furstentum Liechtenstein wrote:

As for the ABC, I can get that on internet, and it is CRAP... polite crap. It is quite similar to the CBC, actually. Again, for accurate reporting on Christian persecution throughout the world, you'll need to go to a dedicated site like Voice of the Martyrs. VOM has national sites in most Western nations.
It doesn't prove your point, it proves my point that there is no conspiracy against Christians.
What this has to do with the subject matter I have no idea, again I think you are trying to put me down to make yourself feel better. That's ok I can take it, but don't think I am fooled by the charade.A loaded comment if there ever was one!

Conspiracy? There is no conspiracy. Christians are just being slaughtered throughout Africa, throughout the Magreb, in Syria, Iraq, Pakistan...for a complete list of countries hostile and dangerous for Christians, you must get the news from a dedicated service. Your nice & polite public service panders more to minority sensitivities.Danieltwotwenty wrote:It doesn't prove your point, it proves my point that there is no conspiracy against Christians.
I'm not trying to put you down. (You do a good enough job of that on your own.) You may not like me or my style, but when you have intelligent men like RickD, Philip, B.W. and Jac3510 telling you that you are mistaken when it comes to Islam, you should take the hint.Danieltwotwenty wrote:What this [1 Pe 3:19] has to do with the subject matter I have no idea, again I think you are trying to put me down to make yourself feel better.

Mannerism
Within discussions, please be civil and courteous and do not resort to personal attacks. If you feel inappropriately attacked, please bring such cases privately to a moderator who can then intervene as necessary. While these instructions are likely unnecessary for the vast majority of participants, here is some biblical advice to help serve as a guide for conversations:
- Write in a manner that you would want others to write to you - "in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you" (Matthew 7:12).
- "But now you also, put them all aside: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive speech from your mouth." (Colossians 3:8)
- "Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned, as it were, with salt, so that you may know how you should respond to each person." (Colossians 4:6)
- "In all things show yourself to be an example of good deeds, with purity in doctrine, dignified, sound in speech which is beyond reproach, in order that the opponent may be put to shame, having nothing bad to say about us." (Titus 2:7-8)

Things are heating up and we may well be entering the last days. In that, there will be war against Jews and Christians as spoken of in the bible in Rev 12:1-14.Storyteller wrote:Philip wrote:This article has so many enlightening and encouraging aspects of God's protection and the contrast of how others often respond, and how the Western press is so complicit in censoring what is happening to Christians in Muslim lands: http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2015/01/ ... -survives/

Even in the midst of evil, good still finds a way.
I was really moved by that story, both that a Bible survived and that their Muslim neighbours helped them. There is still hope for us all after all.
