As Christians we are not here to take revenge on Jews for the Death of Christ... Christs death means our Salvation, If Christ wasn't Crucified would we be saved?
If Chri…
This kind of stuff angers me beyond words. We send billions of tax payers money to a bunch of atheist jews who do everything to undermine us, who are terrorists. Then we turn a blind eye to the persecution of Christians in Egypt! The president says …

yes it is very important to defend the faith, who disagreed?

I dont think anyone disagreed. I think I did not properly explain myself.

Well, that is a testament to your patience and Christian love. I am hard to love lol.
@Biboboy, yes both saints did deal with heresies and problems within the church, however St John had the temple of artemis leveled, completely. I am not saying we do this I am just saying that they also dealt with many issues outside the church that…

I think the biggest thing hurting our church (which may ultimately lead to atheism) is indifference. Some don't see the point you're making, Ioannes, about how this…

I am glad you guys enjoyed it. The one thing I may have neglected to put in were my references to the mythology. I can add that if its not there. Thanks for the kind words!
