Just for reading the bible, can you imagine. Now look at those being persecuted now, just for preaching about it in other countries. Russia had to plant evidence to get the JWs convicted. Also notice that it mentions being burned at the stake... upright pole. When people used to burn witchs or other supposed wrongdoers it always had to be on a wooden stake. So What about Jesus, would it not make more sense that he was probably done in the same fashion, maybe not burned but still tortured just the same. Plenty of evidence to support this as well.

Don’t believe me? Ask Kirk Cameron or Tim Tebow who both have been endlessly ridiculed for stating mainstream biblical positions on marriage and other topics. How about the comments by Chick-fil-A Founder Dan Cathy? Remember his comments in strong support for traditional marriage? He nearly had his head ripped apart by the mainstream media.

Meanwhile, politicians like former Sen. Rick Santorum have been labeled part of a “Jesus-eating cult" (Whatever that means). The list goes on. It happens all the time. Why? Just because evangelicals believe in the biblical definition of marriage? American society and culture may change but the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob does not.

You can totally believe in the biblical definition of marriage, and I'd encourage you to do so if your heart takes you there. Secularly, stay the fuck out of my rights. Also, ridicule and public humiliation aren't the same as being denied rights or chased down and murdered, so please bear that in mind.

"I can not."

While the Iranian court is trying to get Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani to repent from his belief in Jesus Christ, he said:

“Repent means to return. What should I return to? To the blasphemy that I had before my faith in Christ?”

The court, of course, said to return to the Islam faith.

Nadarkhani boldly said, "I can not."

What an amazing testimony of faith. His continual boldness is encouraging. Let's be prayer warriors for Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani's strength and boldness. Whether by taking him home or softening the hearts of the Iranian court, God's will be done!
