It was Nero...who tortured and executed Christians in a most vile fashion...impaling them upon
poles then covering them with oil and setting them on fire along the highways and paths...
He bragged about illuminating the world...with his torches....

The crimes these believers were charged with......crimes against humanity....hate crimes...
They quoted Christ and the bible ..urging sinners to repent ...reminding them of what God's
thoughts were on the proclivities and sins of their day...

HP makes good Romans

HP makes good Romans IMO IMO there is a big difference between impaling people & setting them on fire as opposed to firing them

Well, actually, Joe, the offical charge against the Christians was their failure/refusal to worship the state god, thereby putting the state (Rome) "at risk". The authorities didn't much care who else the Christians, or anyone else for that matter, worshipped as long as the state god was leading the parade. B/c of this "stiffed necked pride" the Christians quickly became the universal scape-goats.

And I believe that it was Nero who had the Apostle Paul beheaded.
