You are looking at the wrong thread, imposter... 'How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.' (Aug 2, 2009 | post #90794)

Warning, if you and James are trying to start some kind of mischief by attempting to besmirch my good name, I've got news for you both, you are picking on the wrong guy. Surely you know what the bible says about such actions, regarding the ways of the wicked man, 'For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.' 'He that diligently seeks good procures favor: but he that seeks mischief, it shall come to him.' 'deceits are in his heart; he deviseth mischief at all times, he soweth discords.' I suggest you and James both need to read Proverbs to see just what awaits you when you try to stir up trouble, or perhaps you prefer to dismiss God's warnings as they do not apply to you two. Let the Holy Spirit guide your words and deeds and not the devil. (Aug 2, 2009 | post #90792)

You are a day late and a dollar short James, it has already been established on another thread that Gabi's family and mine attend the same church, are friends and neighbors. Do try to keep up, nice try though. (Aug 2, 2009 | post #90787)

I beg to differ, you said...... "There are many different dinominations & many churches in Persia, & there is no restrictions at all for Christians to worship Jesus Christ, for as long as they keep it inside their churches or homes.".... 'no restrictions'? according to Human Rights Watch.... Churches have been closed down, the use of Persian in sermons banned, the publishing of Bibles restricted and Muslims strictly prohibited from attending sermons, with previous converts from Islam being put under particular surveillance. A number of Christian leaders have been killed or found murdered since the early 1990s: After a trip to Iran in September 2006, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Prague Vaclav Maly reportedly stated that many Christians were leaving Iran because of restrictions on them as Christians. He added that there was a danger that Christians would completely disappear from Iran. http://www.minorit yrights.org/5109/i ran/christians.htm Therefore your statement was wrong, there are many restrictions placed upon Christians, unless of course your 'Persia' is not today's Iran.

free to practise their own religion', did you not read the article? The Protestants, and particularly evangelical groups, face the most difficulties from amongst the Christian communities in Iran. Human Rights Watch estimated their numbers at around 10,000-15,000 in 2002. Churches have been closed down, the use of Persian in sermons banned, the publishing of Bibles restricted and Muslims strictly prohibited from attending sermons, with previous converts from Islam being put under particular surveillance.

Vahe, you need to keep yourself better informed... Christians in Iran <snip> A number of Christian leaders have been killed or found murdered since the early 1990s: Assemblies of God Minister Bishop Haik Hovsepian Mehr was found stabbed to death in 1994; Reverend Mehdi Dibaj, pastor of the Church of the Assemblies of God and convert from Islam 41 years previously, released from prison in January 1994 but found dead by the authorities on 2 July 1994; Reverend Tateos Michaelian, found murdered in July 1994; pastor Mohammad Bagher Yusefi, disappeared and found dead in 1996 and pastor Ghorban Dordi Tourani found dead in 2005. The manner of their disappearances, and the consistency of the pattern of deaths, has made most observers suspect the Iranian governmental authorities themselves. Between May and July 2004, several dozen Iranian evangelicals - including pastor Khosroo Yusefi - were imprisoned and then released in the province of Mazandaran. They were reportedly physically mistreated, heavily interrogated and ordered to stop worship and evangelizing. In September 2004, 85 participants in a Christian conference were imprisoned along with a lay preacher of the Assemblies of God Church (and Iranian army officer), Reverend Hamid Pourmand. The 85 were released but Pourmand was charged with having converted to Christianity without informing army officials of his conversion and with attempting to convert Muslims to Christianity. He was acquitted of the charges of apostasy and proselytism in May 2005, but not of deceiving the Iranian army about his being a Christian. Current issues A number of observers and Christian representatives have reported signs that the increase in pressure on non-ethnic Christians in Iran is at the greatest it has been since the mid-1990s. In late September-early October 2006 an Iranian Christian couple, Fereshteh Dibaj and Reza Montazami, were detained and held for questioning by the Ministry of Intelligence and Security. Mr Montazami led an independent church in Mashhad and converted to Christianity from Islam around 15 years ago. After a trip to Iran in September 2006, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Prague Vaclav Maly reportedly stated that many Christians were leaving Iran because of restrictions on them as Christians. He added that there was a danger that Christians would completely disappear from Iran. http://www.minorit yrights.org/5109/i ran/christians.htm l (Aug 1, 2009 | post #90461)

Mornin' all. May I submit a request? While I understand, and often agree with the need to point out the hypocrisy emanating from certain 'Christians', it is offensive to me to bash the entire multitude of believers. A whole lot of us do believe in the 'magic man in the sky' and I certainly don't consider myself to be a foolish person nor a defensive one. So, with all due respect, please don't lump us all together, we are each 'his own man'. Thank you and have a pleasant evening. (Aug 1, 2009 | post #90457)
There would be no race problem if Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton would just shut up. and quit with the perpetual victim rubbish. (Aug 1, 2009 | post #1167)
