Yes, that is exactly what "Pope" Peter would have done. When he was met with opposition of the cruelest kind, I remember him saying "what we need here is a serious discussion so the innocent are not murdered. Perhaps I should not arouse the anger of the offenders lest I provoke them. I'll just remain silent and hope for a resolution."

FEH. We are told in God's Word that we would suffer for Christ. Anyone who is saved knows this and knows this is what can and will happen. It is a price we are willing to pay for Him and His finished work for us. To live is Christ and to die is gain.

This is a spiritual battle. And calls for those, ESPECIALLY IN POWER, to STAND and fight the good fight. NOT tiptoe away and hope for the best.

You and the rest of the armchair crusaders should feel free to go to Paki and live your words.

“FEH. We are told in God’s Word that we would suffer for Christ. Anyone who is saved knows this...”

And are you standing in Cairo in front of the Church and Christian community that was burned Friday?

Are you taking up arms defending them?

Where are in the Muslim world that you speak so authoritatively on dying for Christ?

We are told in God's Word that we would suffer for Christ.

And we are not told that we should put others through suffering - which is the entire point of this discussion.

The Pope is not afraid of being martyred - he is afraid that his words will occasion the murder of innocents.

And lighten up on the heretical buzzwords.

I'm Catholic, so no sale.
