tolerance. 10 years ago the UN laid out its declaration of "tolerance".

The end of days has been coming for a long..long time. The Mystery of Iniquity isn't something that just drops on peoples head all of a sudden.
I am not preaching much differently than protestants of old did, and they were burned at the stake, crucified with their entire families by the RCC...this is nothing NEW.
Now God's people just shrug their shoulders and act like the very blood shed by these saints to give them their freedom to worship is worthless!! Absolutely worthless.
We never crucified anyone, sorry. We would have considered it blasphemous.
We did have some Jesuit missionaries crucified in Japan. Perhaps you were thinking of Catholics crucified, rather than Protestants allegedly crucified by Catholics?
Anyway, the Protestants gave as good as they got. My namesake, for instance, was hung, drawn, and quartered at Tyburn under Queen Elizabeth for the "crime" of saying Mass and hearing confessions. If you only read Foxe's Book of Martyrs, you've only read one side of the story.
