Thread: throughout history christians were persecuted or were they ones that persecuted others?

Jake thank u so much for the diagnosis

They've been on both ends, historically.

Christians that persecute others are not Christians, so knowledgeable Christians have never been the persecutors. Persecution of Christians however, still goes on.

Both, especially depending on the place. Christianity is still legally discriminated against in parts of the world.

I don't understand why one must choose one. They were persecuted when they were a minority and persecuted when they were the majority.

It has gone back and forth.

Christians have been the persecutors look at what happened with Africans that was brought and sold and forced to forget their religion and culture to live as a christian

Both. Religion was the political system during many of those wars/crusades. Its hard to equate that to today's system of government but if you look at it politically during those times it makes it easier to rationalize though still sick.

people who claimed they were christians persecuted people and killed them in the name of God.

people who were not violent and did not persecute any one were also persecuted and killed for their faith.

So actually it was both
