Eighty North Koreans Publically Executed for Possessing Bibles, Watching Foreign Films, Etc.
Korea JongAng Daily has reported that eighty North Koreans were publicly executed on November 3.
According to Bob Thiel those people killed for possessing and reading Bibles were not Church of God Christians., Their killing is therefore irrelevant.
ReplyDeleteIn fact, the situation is so bad over there that North Koreans frequently attempt to illegally cross the border into Red China. The Chinese catch and deport them, leading to even higher levels of inhumane imprisonment and treatment as reprisal. The Bibles are smuggled into North Korea at great peril to Christian activists. I can't imagine anyone from the Armstrong movement subjecting themselves to such danger in attempting to spread the gospel.

DeleteBB: weathering the weather there?! Agree : your "Armstrong movement" statement. I invite perusers/ users of this website to critically analyze your apology 'work' for the Nazis in WW2, over on James + your site! Be funny if not so innacurate + serious!
DeleteI have no idea what "Gideon" is talking about. I hate what the Nazis did, and would never apologize for them. Could someone be trolling?
