1 | Joyfully accepting Jesus but not saved? | Matt 13:20 | CDBJ | 73186 | ||
I once heard it stated by someone, “If you were to be arrested for being a follower of Jesus could they find enough evidence to convict you?" This period of time might be right around the corner who knows. Matthew 24:9-10 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. [10] And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 2 Thes. 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Have a nice day, CDBJ |

That is exactly that outcome at a later time if any give credence to the first chapter of Fox’s Book of Martyrs? This is extra-biblical information about Peter’s death and not fact. I have a hard time reading very much in this book at one time. IX. Peter Among many other saints, the blessed apostle Peter was condemned to death, and crucified, as some do write, at Rome; albeit some others, and not without cause, do doubt thereof. Hegesippus saith that Nero sought matter against Peter to put him to death; which, when the people perceived, they entreated Peter with much ado that he would fly the city. Peter, through their importunity at length persuaded, prepared himself to avoid. But, coming to the gate, he saw the Lord Christ come to meet him, to whom he, worshipping, said, “Lord, whither dost Thou go?” To whom He answered and said, “I am come again to be crucified.” By this, Peter, perceiving his suffering to be understood, returned into the city. Jerome saith that he was crucified, his head being down and his feet upward, himself so requiring, because he was (he said) unworthy to be crucified after the same form and manner as the Lord was. Any thing that we say that can’t be backed by Scripture as far as doctrine is concerned is only speculation but some of it makes for good reading I just wouldn’t stake my life on it. 2 Tim. 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: Have a nice day, CDBJ |
