Well, it began with John the Baptist.
John wasn't beheaded for his witness of Christ, it was because Herod Antipas had taken Herodias his brothers wife and John rebuked him for it and other sins (Luke 3:19)

Same difference. He was a witness for Christ and calling for people to repent of their sins, make straight their paths for the coming of Jesus Christ, their Messiah. Paul was also apparently beheaded, though there is no historical record of it that I know of.

We we are all witnesses of Christ. But, really, is it truly your position that no Christians have been beheaded until just recently?.

No it isn't the same difference, Herod come have given a flip less about Christ, it was John's coming down on him for what he had done. Paul was apparently beheaded, and Peter was supposed to have been curcified up-side down and yet there is no record of that either, both are just hear say and nothing more.

Sure, it is the same difference as you not giving a flip before you gave a flip, doesn't mean that people who did give a flip weren't testifying to you just because you did not give a flip about Jesus then. John the Baptist was testifying about Jesus Christ, why else do you think he gave a flipping flip? LOL

Islam/Muslims

whoopdeedo.gif Who died and made you king of the forum? You'd argue with a fencepost! And who has been making overtures toward the Palestinians? uh huh that's right, the Vatican. They want to see Jerusalem turned into an international city and that way the Jews would loose control of it.

Who says the beast and Anti-christ and false prophet have to be one entity?

[SUP]4 [/SUP]And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
[SUP]5 [/SUP]But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
[SUP]6 [/SUP]Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years(Revelation 4-6).


All the saints that are with Jesus will reign with Him for 1000 years on earth,for there is only 2 resurrections,the first,all that are Jesus' people,that acknowledged Him whether Old Testament looking to that prophet to come,or New Testament,and all the rest after the millennial reign of Christ,but I believe that when it talks of the saints being beheaded that it is talking of the saints in the tribulation,which did not go along with the beast,and his system,because saints have been persecuted,and died,by more than one way,not all by beheading,but this is narrowing it down to those who went through the tribulation.

Also this is a good scripture to support that the saints will be in the tribulation,because they were beheaded in the tribulation for not taking the mark of the beast,and there is only 2 resurrections,one before the millennial reign,and one after the millennial reign,so these cannot be left behind saints.

So you honestly think this is the first instance of christians being beheaded for being christians
