Martyrs of the Christian Faith

Martyrs of the Christian Faith playlist: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL41EA1E7C8D5D1EF8

Be advised that the illustrations (not photos) used in this video are graphic.

The intent of this video is to remind Christians of our brothers and sisters who chose agony and death rather than deny our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Let us not forget also the many Christians around the world today who are currently suffering persecution for their faith in Jesus Christ. May we remember to pray for them always.

May we all in the Church today have such blessed faith.

what is going on in the scene at 2:12, with the cow?

[stack45ny]

@Boogung Sorry for the delayed reply. That is Antipas being roasted alive in a copper steer, AD 95.

[mumswording]

I have one main thought as I watch this. .

This is proof that Jesus did raise the dead. This is proof that Jesus was not JUST a preacher.This is proof of the transfiguration of Christ on the mountain.

Followers of Jesus were pulled limb from limb until the body lay in pieces. They had hot iron rods stabbed into their eyes. through it all they kept the faith. I would never go through torture/death over a lie that I helped Fabricate. 11 of the disciples were martyred,

[watchman001]

Lord give us the strength of those brave men and women in these last days in the name of Jesus Christ

Matthew 16:26

New King James Version (NKJV)

26 For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

[Boogung]

@mumswording 11 of the original 12, but wasn't Matthias martyred as well?

[stack45ny]

@kittysaurusRAWR This video is about Christian martyrs...it has nothing to do with Roman Catholicism, which I assume you meant by the word "Catholic."

@BlueGlowingLight4

Letting yourself die rather than surrendering to police (which rather shows insanity than steadfastness) is not the same as being tortured in the most excruciating ways, while only having the cruel torture interrupted at intervals while being offered lush riches, a high place in nobility, and anything anyone could have wished for at the current time and culture.

Not to mention there have been thousands upons thousands of counts of Matyrdom for the Catholic Faith.

[canadian7233]

try not dying for somethng made up for once. Thanks for giving people the answers so they stop looking for them in life

[fedurosan]

@BlueGlowingLight4 Christianity is not a sect nor a reduced group of people who destroy themselves just for the sake of it all the contrary The Catholic Church was funded by God Himself not by a mortal. Christians are baptized to live the Mystery of God and to love and be loved and their humanity is divinized by The Holy Spirit. The Faith in God is a Divine gift which transforms our existence to a total fulfillment of light and inner happiness and peace....it's a mystery of Love

@shqiptare777 the word of God tells us that he sent his son to the world that he may give us life abundant
