How sad!
It is amazing that out of those 12 disciples, 11 died horrible deaths and the one that lived was boiled alive in oil, all because they refused to save themselves by recanting their preaching that he was the Son of God. Most were told they could go free if they would just recant.
What politician are you willing to die for or be boiled alive in oil for claiming they are the Son of God, when they are just a politician?
Yeah, thought so.
Remember, that was the Middle East and let’s face it, those folks are nuts even today. Politics and religion were the same. There was no separation of church and state; that’s an American invention.
Hard to talk to an unbeliever, huh!
