Emperor Nero at Rome in A.D. 67. Paul endured a
lengthy imprisonment, which allowed him to write
his many epistles to the churches he had formed
throughout the Roman Empire.
These letters,
which taught many of the foundational Doctrines
of Christianity, form a large portion of the New
Testament


Perhaps this is a reminder to us that our
sufferings here are indeed minor compared to the
intense persecution and cold cruelty faced by the
apostles and disciples during their times For the
sake of the Faith. And ye shall be hated of all
men for my name's sake: But he that endureth to
the end shall be saved.

Happy Sunday

Are u trying to portray the inability and weakness of the almighty god to intervene during the time of crises of these sorts. Since those Christian figures like the names mentioned above could travel to heaven in that hideous way as their master jesus did; the significance of it all is that every Christian apologist should be ready to face same kind of death processes so as to make heaven.


Seemed to me that Christianity is the author of confusion. The dilemma posed in trying to distort such bizarre moments encountered by popular new testament figures to conform with the reality of fear of death especially the frightful ones is unwelcoming.

Jesus is lord.

At times i just wonder and i'm challenged just as Paul wrote, "Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ."[2nd Tim 2vs3]. If Paul and the rest of the apostles and many other followers of Christ even in contemporary times, could go through such horrendous torture, and eventually, death, who am i, and who are you not to endure this light affliction for Christ's sake??
O Lord, we need your help. We need the grace to endure and run this christian race to the end.
