The Church and Christianity from time in memmorial been a victim of countless hostilities aside, from those mentioned above which is a reflections of the severity of the nature of persecutions the early church had to go through, history will not forget the inhumanity and despecably grusome acts of horror and grieve perpetuated by a man who stands out in this order in ancient Roman the Emperior Nero (54-68AD) who according to history made midnight lamps out of Christians who refused to denounce their confession thus burning them alive. The picture is no difference today with real time news feeds of Christians killed, maimed,inprisoned and incascirated, burned and butched from Sudan to Iran, from Northern Nigeria to Easthern Russia, from India to China, from North Korea to Malaysia etc.
I have sat down to reason and to contemplate these anormaly and wickedness searching to possibly come up with perhaps a justifiable reason for this and frankly l think l did yes l found a "justified" reason for all these persecutions which is what l would simply refer to as "THE CLAIM". Almost everybody in the world would agree that Christians are infact one of the most(if not the most) peace loving people in the world yet why all these hostilities for God sake with all Extremist Islamic group are doing the world over what is the world doing we are negotiating with them.
Christianity is so hated and persecuted simply because of HER CLAIMS it is only in Christinity certain claims that are larger than life are made such or Which are:
@ That Jesus Christ is the ONLY way to God and besides Him there is no other
@ That Jesus Christ is the Truth and the Life
@ That all Powers both in Heaven and on earth belongs to Jesus Christ
@ That the Name of Jesus Christ can heal and deliver
@ That Salvation from sin and death is in no other by in Jesus Christ
These are some of the CLAIMS that marks Christianity as a target for persecution because to say that Jesus is the ONLY WAY by implication renders all other thoughts or claims especially those that say "oh well there are many ways to God" null and void. Well the conclution of the whole matter is simple Christianity and her CLAIMS cannot be be stopped simply because those CLAIMS have CREDENCE AND ARE POTENT WITH UNDESPUTED EVIDENCES.

Nobody can stop God. The more the persecution the more the Gospel of our Lord Jesus christ changes lives all over the world. The greatest mistake anyone can make is to kill an apple of God's eyes, that is a true child of God. It may spell doom for the whole community. God will not take it kindly with anyone that destroys his annointed. If they do, they are only helping the Good news to spread.
The blood of Jesus will never lose his power, and it was not shed in vain. Up till now the blood is still as powerful as ever. So. It is a dangerous thing to attack the elect of God. Heaven will react. No matter what happens.
God bless you. God2man.
