The identification parade.

The identification parade.
My Christian neighbors did not like my orphanage and evangelizing. The communist government and their supporters in my state called me and Christians spy of U.S.A. So they conspired and sent bandits to kill me.
I usually slept at night with doors open on faith. Besides living in a mud house we lived a poor life with little valuables and money. So the bandits entered my room and beat me up from sleep. The leader pressed his pistol on my forehead, but it refused to fire. May be, being made by inept local smiths it jammed. Then he began to stab me with the nozzle of the pistol piercing my eyes. Then hearing commotion outside them fled.
The senior boys of the orphanage got me to hospital. The doctor said that one of my eyes may be saved and the other eye is sure gone. Then, all the Christian friends around started praying for me. Miraculously both the eyes were healed astonishing the doctors.
Then police arranged an identification parade before me to identify the culprits. But I couldn’t recognize the culprits among the about 50 people on that parade. It was about 35 years ago. But I still remember one face burning with hatred. I had the temptation to point him out but resisted. So no one was caught.
Later, after about 2 years I learnt about the real culprits. By that time most of them were dead by gang fight and suicide, though I prayed for them. It so happened to other people involved in other attempts to murder me. Later I got more mature to know that I am also responsible for worse crimes against the soul of others in my past Heavenly abode from which I fell here and in this world too in my state as Hindu priest 52 years ago. If identification parade is there many will accuse me too of offence against their soul and mind. But Christ had forgiven me. I also forgave them from my heart.

Sometimes the paranoid have real enemies coming after them, but in your case I think it is just plain, old garden variety paranoia.

Thank you brother, because you have told truly that i fear pain and death. For a Christ-follower it should not be so. But thank God that paranoia couldnot stop me residing in Islamur (place of Islam) and evangelize among fanatic Muslims.

there is a grave mistake in my thread here.
The second line will start "my non-Christian neighbors" instead of "My christian neighbors. I seek apology for misspelling. How to correct it now?
