Serious amounts of blood are being squeezed out of this stone.

Randall Baer....converted to Christianity from the New Age. I don't know him but I listened to his testimony and found out about him. He used to be a very well known crystals expert. He converted but carried on going to conferences and events and would, instead of talking about crystals as expected by the audiences, talk about the dangers of the New Age and his conversion. Of course, it didn't go down too well as most people in the New Age are making money from it. One day, after leaving a conference at which he had spoken on stage, he was killed in a car accident. It was a lonely road, the car was run off the road, he had no car crash injuries and his briefcase had been opened and riffled through. He had just sent off the manuscript for his book, which he had probably discussed in the conference. I think new converts to Christianity are the most enthusiastic and prepared to take risks.
I think the comment has been blown out of proportion. It was a generalisation because we were not discussing real/genuine Christians. We were discussing martydom. I do believe the threat of the sword is a very good way of distunguishing between those who do and those who just say they do. Surely that generalisation is ok?? I really don't understand why this point is being focused on so much.
I posted the 'true Jew' quote to highlight the fact everything I say gets racked over with a fine tooth comb and anything deemed unacceptable receives pages of comments from lots of people. I think that is pretty noticeable.
