He is Good! He knew man would turn his own way and He still did it. He knew it would all lead to the cross, yet He still did it. He knew what it would ultimately take, and He still chose to breathe. He knew. He is Good!

Neither the spirit of this Declaration nor due respect for the red lines contained therein resides in our nation’s capital.

On this 250th anniversary of our Founders’ bold assertion of these principles, let’s honor them by keeping this flame burning within us.

Little Richard when he finally felt like a man and Accepted Jesus! Here he denounced his Homosexuality on David Letterman.

Our message is not a set of rules or mechanisms to find God or rungs of a ladder. It is clinging to the glorious Man on the Tree of Life, Calvary!

Durin the Ottoman period, the Muslim Turks, in order to terrorize the Greeks, impaled and roasted alive Athanasios Diakos. But, they gave him a chance: "Will you become a Turk, Diakos? Will you change your faith? Will you pray in the mosque and abandon the church?"

He replied to them: "Go away, you and your faith, may you perish, you renegades! I was born a Greek, and as a Greek I shall die."

According to eyewitness accounts from the time, two Turks lit a fire next to the stable and placed an iron grate and a large copper cauldron filled with oil over it. Then they lifted Diakos, still bound as he was, and made him sit on an old wooden stool. They raised his legs. The Turks began to mock him, asking him various questions. For every negative nod, they drove nails into his feet. Afterwards, they took the boiling oil and first poured it over his bare feet.

When they saw that he did not react, they tore his clothing and began pouring it on his back and chest. He groaned silently in pain, and the soldiers, under orders not to kill him, used needles to burst the blisters that had formed on his skin from the boiling oil. This continued for hours, until the next morning.

Exhausted as he was, they dragged him through the town to execute him. His execution was carried out in public view with the permission of Halil Bey, so that the Greeks would be warned about what would happen to anyone who dared to revolt. Testimonies state that even Diakos’s mother was present at his torture.

After tying him backwards onto a saddle with his legs spread apart, the executioner began pushing the sharp tip of a wooden stake into his groin area and then slowly drove it deeper, going all the way through his body until it emerged near his right ear. The executioner moved carefully, as he had orders not to kill him quickly; with every push of the stake, Diakos’s screams confirmed he was still alive.

Once the executioner had finished his work, the Turks tied the body tightly with the stake so that the skin would not tear, and they propped him up, almost upright, against a tree.

As he was dying, it is said that he uttered these sorrowful verses: "Look at the time Death has chosen to take me, now, when the branches are blossoming and the earth brings forth grass."

Halil Bey gave the order to light a fire beneath him and to turn him slowly, so that he would be roasted alive like an animal. After many hours of torture, the Greek chieftain passed away on April 24, 1821. However, this had the opposite effect from what the Turks had expected.

When the Greeks learned of his story and his martyrdom, they were filled with even greater rage and strength to liberate themselves from the barbarous Muslims and Islam.

Athanasios Diakos is one of the most important heroes in the Greek history.

Hey @grok

Did the Bolsheviks cut the breasts off Christian women while they were still alive?

[Ryan @forbiddenmerch]

Hey @grok

Did the Bolsheviks really do this to Christians?

[Ryan @forbiddenmerch]

Hey @grok

Did the Bolsheviks roll naked christians in barrels studded with nails to kill them?

@TrackAIPAC @RepKeithSelf Two things can be true at the same time.

Obviously, it’s inappropriate for Israel to be funding these candidates, wildly.

But it’s also true that the Islamists come to conquer, and the Marxists are their willing accomplices.

You need to be willing to call spade a spade.
