HOW THE APOSTLES DIED.
1. Matthew Suffered martyrdom in Ethiopia, Killed by a sword wound.

2. Mark Died in Alexandria, Egypt , after being dragged by Horses through the streets until he was dead.

3. Luke Was hanged in Greece as a result of his tremendous Preaching to the lost.

4. John Faced martyrdom when he was boiled in huge Basin of boiling oil during a wave of persecution In Rome. However, he was miraculously delivered From death. John was then sentenced to the mines on the prison Island of Patmos. He wrote his prophetic Book of Revelation on Patmos . The apostle John was later freed and returned to serve As Bishop of Edessa in modern Turkey . He died as an old man, the only apostle to die peacefully

5. Peter He was crucified upside down on an x-shaped cross. According to church tradition it was because he told his tormentors that he felt unworthy to die In the same way that Jesus Christ had died.

6. James The leader of the church in Jerusalem , was thrown over a hundred feet down from the southeast pinnacle of the Temple when he refused to deny his faith in Christ. When they discovered that he survived the fall, his enemies beat James to death with a fuller's club. * This was the same pinnacle where Satan had taken Jesus during the Temptation.

7. James the Son of Zebedee, was a fisherman by trade when Jesus Called him to a lifetime of ministry. As a strong leader of the church, James was beheaded at Jerusalem. The Roman officer who guarded James watched amazed as James defended his faith at his trial. Later, the officer Walked beside James to the place of execution. Overcome by conviction, he declared his new faith to the judge and Knelt beside James to accept beheading as a Christian.

8. Bartholomew Also known as Nathaniel Was a missionary to Asia. He witnessed for our Lord in present day Turkey. Bartholomew was martyred for his preaching in Armenia where he was flayed to death by a whip.

9. Andrew Was crucified on an x-shaped cross in Patras, Greece. After being whipped severely by seven soldiers they tied his body to the cross with cords to prolong his agony. His followers reported that, when he was led toward the cross, Andrew saluted it in these words: 'I have long desired and expected this happy hour. The cross has been consecrated by the body of Christ hanging on it.' He continued to preach to his tormentors For two days until he expired.

10. Thomas Was stabbed with a spear in India during one of his missionary trips to establish the church in the Sub- continent.

11. Jude Was killed with arrows when he refused to deny his faith in Christ.

12. Matthias The apostle chosen to replace the traitor Judas Iscariot, was stoned and then beheaded.

13. Paul Was tortured and then beheaded by the evil 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.

know that outside christian sources(which are known to be deeply inaccurate) there is no other evidence that most of the disciples were even real.

As expected, Atheists would always find a way to call it all lies while sitting behind a computer while actual Historians have certified them as true.

Any evidence to this tale??

The worst part is it is only times like these atheists forget their best friend - Google. They would rather play the blind man than verify the authenticity of events that have become common knowledge through the years.

@topic, did you guys know that the wicked king Manasseh killed prophet Isaiah by sawing him in half alive? shocked However, he repented and asked God for forgiveness years later when God dealt with him according to the prophecy of Isaiah.

I also read in a book where the deaths of Martyrs were recorded (can't recall the title now) that a particular Christian was placed in a sac filled with scorpions and snakes, the sac was tied up and thrown into the sea. What a terrible way to die.

Thinking about it, there is no good or bad way to die. If you die in Christ it doesn't matter how you die; all that matters is that you die victorious - in Jesus Christ or knowing God.
