Perhaps, but how does what I posted above constitute persecution? Is ignoring you persecutory? If so I'm going to have to sue half the women on earth.
I love how you guys are generalizing all denominations of Christianity into one group. Some practices by some denominations are not accepted at all by others.
Jesus' Final UFO Encounter? Take a look at this next passage and tell me what it sounds like to you: Acts 1: 9-11 (NIV)After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight. They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. "Men of Galilee," they said, "why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.
Bahhhhhaaaaar !!! Bwu BWWWOUHAAAAR ! ha ha ha ha ha ! LIKE IN IRAQ - OR WOULD THAT BE AFGHANISTAN ????? Harrr !! ha ha ha ha ! can you put a picture of yourself in your next post ? Bwouha ha ha ha ha! WAHA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAR HA HA HA ! Were loading all cristian groups into the one group that broadly defines them as christians WAHHHHH hahaha I definitely need that picture HAHA HA HA HA wahh haaaa har Christian: one who believes Jesus was the son of god and a christ saviour man you gotta career on the stage you crackin me up HAAAARR HAAAR HA HA HA ! Could have been ! but why didnt they mention that the men in white had big black eyes and grey skin - or the electronic equipment they would have used or something else I tend to think it indicates a fire of some kind - perhaps they burnt him and then pretended that someone else was jesus - I mean there were no photos arund in those days and if your revolutionary hero dies - why not just put another in his place?
