Audio version: Christians - the World's Most Persecuted Group
The title of the column caught my eye: “Why Are Christians the World's Most Persecuted Group?” It was linked from the Middle East Forum website at Matt Barber’s cool, new site, BarbWire.com. From the title of the column, written by Raymond Ibrahim, I thought that maybe he had laid out the bottom line truth of why Christians, along with Jews, are indeed the most reviled and persecuted people on Earth. But he didn’t.
His column made three points in answer to his title’s question. He wrote that Christians are the most persecuted because Christianity is the largest religion in the world, Christianity is a proselytizing faith that seeks to win over converts, and Christianity is the quintessential religion of martyrdom. While these three points are true, do they really explain why Christians are the world’s most persecuted group? No.
There can be no understanding of the answer to this question without the acknowledgment of the reality of the spirit realm, Who God is and who His spiritual enemies are. READ MORE HERE
