There again, you don't read other peoples statements fully. you just see what you want so you can criticize. I have never stated what you say I state. I quote scripture that states those words exactly. Not mine, but the Lord's. Then again, you don't view God or Christ as having meant everything they said the way they said it anyway. I don't guess I have those kind of interpretive skills. Second, I never said the Churches of Christ were persecuted, I said new testament christians were. That why alot of them hid in their homes and other places to worship. That is why alot of the apostles and disciples were put to death for their teachings and beliefs.
Of course you have never made the overt statements that I know you to believe. This is because you dodge every direct question I ask concerning it. Let us try again though: Do you believe that people who do not believe in Christ will go to heaven?
