The Inquisition

[Rdr Iakovos]

Take the time, it is worth far more than you can imagine,

so take the time, to google for information on followers of Jesus

evangelists, pastors, and new believers, being murdered

in many countries around the world, by and with the governments

approval. The news is devastating, overwhelming in proportion,

almost unbelievable at first (for the uninformed in the usa). It takes

time to realize the enormity of what's going on, and God's gift of

Grace and Humility to not be discouraged beyond normal measure.

So, take the time to look, to search, to read, and hopefully to see

a step at a time what's been going on for a long time......

We Orthodox are no strangers to government sponsored persecution of Christianity.

When you say "the INquisition goes on today,' I assume you are speaking of chuches persecuting/punishing/killing heretics/dissidents.
There is none of this going on today, of which I am aware, at any rate.

be fair. You made a specific accusation. You should back it up with an example.

Rdr, he may be referring to N. Ireland? I'm guessing.

Fair? .... How about honest and truthful? -- when I posted public newsparper clippings about recent disappearance of millions of
church members dollars, which same members were upset and
wanted it looked into, that post got delted and it looked like because
it was part of a cover-up....
Still, one example might not hurt -- check out mexico.

OT - I'm sorry, but I can't read "The Inquisition" without the Mel Brooks song popping into my head. I love that movie

The Inquisition, what a show.
The Inquisition, here we go.
We know you're wishin' that we'd go away!
So all you Muslims and you Jews
We got big news for all of yous:
You'd better change your point of views TODAY!
'Cause the Inquisition's here and it's here to stay!

Part Three: The Menhir-Spearing God
By Matthew Rossi

Now you have me confused, are you using this blend of fiction and fact as a refutation of the previous posts that outlined a detailed historical analysis of the Inquistion.

 

[Rick Otto]

Your calling that sanitized "blend of fiction & fact" a "detailed historical analysis"?

David Cloud among many other excellent Preachers covers the Inquizition quite thoroughly. Enjoy...

And the conspiracy theories keep coming...

to the advantage of these conspirators. Psalms 2:2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, ..."
