  • Meanwhile in Syria

    It seems that Christianity in Iran is ruffling some feathers.
    1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.

    Scripture before Tradition:
    but that won't prevent others from
    taking it upon themselves to deprive you
    of the right to call yourself Christian.

    Not surprising that conversions to Christianity are ruffling feathers; conversion from Islam isn't officially allowed to happen, in Iran or any other territory in the dar al-Islam.
    Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom

        Just because other Christians are persecuted harder somewhere else doesn't mean there are no Christians being persecuted in America. Just ask that woman who got fined into oblivion for not wanting to cater to gay weddings.

        There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.
