If Jesus Himself sufferred the cross, while being completely innocent and divine what would lead you to believe Christians will not suffer?

Indeed they are, terribly in some parts of the world already.
I do not see it as a philosophy, Biblical prophecy always comes true without exception.

"I am appalled that fear mongering has replaced hope for man by religion. I live in faith for something better, not by fear."

Im not fearful of death, if I didnt know who owns my soul then I would be and have every reason to.

My faith is in the Way, The truth, and The life. This world will come to a rough end eventually as predicted, but my house is being prepared in Heaven.

If you dont believe the world will end then what was Daniel talking about "End Times" for?
Moreover, Jesus spoke of it too.

The question isnt if, but when.

Anyway ,thanks for checking the link out and for the reply.
But those who trust God do not have to fear man.
Even Iranian nut cases with nukes.

We are in agreement. Revelations says that the final war will take a toll of 2 billion lives. I am sure a portion will be Christian. I am not one of those who think that all of us will be raptured away before the tribulation. Revelations says a great crowd without number become Christian after the tribulation. If all the Christians are gone from earth, who will preach to them during? God talks about the recreation in Revelations as does Christ during His gospel. Whether this earth survives after the 1,000 year reign of Christ is open for speculation as scripture only says that God spreads His tent over mankind indefinately meaning our species will never go extinct. Thier is plenty of scripture that talks about the resurrection of man back to earth, man working toward a more perfect state etc during the 1,000 years. Glad you live in faith rather then fear as I do my brother, I just was simply stating that much of the Christian religions preach on fear rather then the Kingdom of God. The angels said they were brining good tidings to man in regards to the tribulation. Not that the tribulation itself is good, but rather the outcome after it is over.
