The Church will suffer for the glory of God as Christ did.

Jesus did not die with us, Jesus died for us...

Jesus died physically...We died (the old man) spiritually...

1Th 1:10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.

Intellectual logic pales in comparison to the words of God...

What of the martyrdom of the early Church? Did they receive the same inheritance? Why did they suffer? When you answer that question... then ask yourself if we are not the same Church with the same Spirit, the same commission and the same destiny.

Intellectual blindness pales in comparison to the real history of God's people. Peace.
