Question

1.26 In the first centuries of the church many Christians were persecuted and were killed because

of their faith in Christ. Do you think Christians are persecuted anywhere today? What would
you do if you were told you could no longer worship Jesus Christ?

Answer 1

Christians are persecuted in the world today.

Step-by-step explanation:

Outside of Western countries, Christian communities continue to face oppression. Examples of this can be seen in the cultural genocide being committed against the Christian Assyrian people in the Middle East at the hands of Islamic extremists. There is also a continuous threat to Christians in China who face government control and suppression of certain churches.

Christianity favors martyrdom to apostasy. Throughout history Christians have died for refusing to leave the faith.
