ANYANG, South Korea, Sept. 2 (Yonhap) -- A pastor at the South Korean church whose volunteers were held hostage for six weeks by Afghanistan's Taliban said some of the captives were "severely beaten" by the insurgents when they refused to convert to Islam.
The 19 former hostages, freed in stages last week under a deal between the South Korean government and the Taliban, arrived on a flight from Dubai on Sunday morning. Earlier, the Islamic militants had killed two male hostages but freed two females.
Remember that next time an Islamic apologist tells you that there is no compulsion in Islam.
Something for South Korea/North Korea ping list
Getting the South Koreans severely angered could be a major problem for the Taliban - there’s nothing more dangerous than a really mad ROK Marine!
John 15:18-27
Jesus Christ:
“If the people of this world hate you, just remember that they hated me first.
If you belonged to the world, its people would love you. But you don’t belong to the world. I have chosen you to leave the world behind, and that is why its people hate you.
Remember how I told you that servants are not greater than their master. So if people mistreat me, they will mistreat you. If they do what I say, they will do what you say.
People will do to you exactly what they did to me. They will do it because you belong to me, and they don’t know the one who sent me.
If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have no excuse for their sin.
Everyone who hates me also hates my Father.
I have done things that no one else has ever done. If they had not seen me do these things, they would not be guilty. But they did see me do these things, and they still hate me and my Father too.
That is why the Scriptures are true when they say, “People hated me for no reason.”
I will send you the Spirit who comes from the Father and shows what is true. The Spirit will help you and will tell you about me.
Then you will also tell others about me, because you have been with me from the beginning.”
And, we have Dean telling our own local US members of the murder/death cult that they need to organize and run for political offices.
Who would be. Now, if they had been treated respectfully, allowed to keep their Bibles, gather and pray together, etc... THAT would be surprising...
It also has about as much chance of happening as pigs flying.
Remember...there are still two completely innocent South Koreans dead. Murdered by these savage animal POS’s!!
‘Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.’”
—Byzantine emperor Manuel II Paleologus
For humanity to survive, there is no other option.
And they think torturing someone would want to make them join their religion why?
These Words of our Savior were a comfort and a Hope in the many days of terror for these poor women! May God heal them Body , Mind, Soul and Spirit!
Amen.
Yes and I think of those words often.
Amen.
Thank you,Sir! Lets Hope The S.Koreans Do Not Forget!
They are brave, and they took our Lord's command, to bring the Gospel to the world, to heart ("...ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth...")
May God Bless them and keep them.
He will wash away all tears, and heal all wounds.
THank you EL Cid, I read that the Elders of their church let them have it this a.m. Thank God” That His Mercy is New Every Morning” I think that is J. Vernon Mc Gee’s Version Like Bread that is fresh from the oven , never been baked before! God Never runs out of Mercy for His Children!
Could not this whole mess be seen as the chance, symbiotic meshing of Christian martyr masochists and avenging Islamic sadists? These Korean women were led by the Lord to undertake such a showy, risky mission?
If I’m understanding things correctly, the Korean group was not too much different from some of the Mt. Everest tourists whose souls wafted up “Into Thin Air” in May, 1996, as documented by Jon Krakauer. Short-term Missionaries, or Christian adventure tourists- what would you call ‘em?
