The first Christians to be persecuted, were Jewish people who heard and believed in Jesus. God chose Paul, who was Jewish, to go to Rome and spread the words of Jesus to non-Jews. Those Christians were also persecuted. The persecution only stopped after the Roman government itself converted to the Christian religion. Today, Christians are … Continue reading “The first shot?”
The growing Christian minority and the coming persecution
The Supreme Court ruling establishing the legality of marriage between homosexual couples may prove to be a powerful force in causing Christians to become a small minority of the US (and Europe as well as countries there move to legalize gay marriage).

Churches Burning
In the past we had made note of churches being burned due to arson attacks, and had argued that they were not expressions of racism, but rather an expression of religious persecution of the Christian faith.
