Pastor to Die in Iran for being a Christian

I think it's funny that I gave two direct quotes from the Bible about what Peter...PETER, FCOL, did on the very night that Jesus was betrayed, and it's just skipped over and dismissed by the "Christians" here because it don't jibe with their bloodthirsty take on what "Christians are supposed to do". :rolleyes: Really. IT'S IN THE FREAKING BOOK!!!

Here's something else from the Book:



Yes, I can rip them out-of-context, too. I might as well, because obviously no one accepts context these days. :aargh:

I know. St. Peter is a wonderful example and comfort for all of us who have messed up, and the Lord knows I did, too. And you know, I think that the difference here lies in the question if you actually realize that you messed up and then repent afterwards, or if you think to yourself something like oh I can mess up cause God will forgive me anyways. Something that is part of every confession is to repent, and the will to turn things around. St. Peter did repent and he changed, and he proved it for the rest of his life and died that way.

I never thought I would get involved in a religious discussion on here :) I'm the only (Roman) Catholic where I live and I'm still learning. I enjoy being surrounded by Muslims, atheists, and also Jews recently, and I also have a Protestant friend. But I miss talking to other Catholics. I do have a bible group though that I go to but it's only once a month, and I'm a very curious person and a bit emotional also so once a month is just not enough for me lol.
