...all serious students of the history of Haitian Voodoo are familiar with the amazing accounts of the healing powers of a cock`s blood if you twist its neck just right....give it up...you`re passing off church propaganda as factual history...no one argues that you THINK this stuff happened...you just have no evidencce for it...

monks and merchants, travelers, pastors, traders, and physicians carrying the "pearl of the Gospel" across all the trade routes of ancient and medieval Asia. This included such areas as Russian and Chinese Turkestan, Arabia,
>Socotra, Afghanistan, Tibet, Pakistan, India, China, Indo-China and Burma, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia, Mongolia, Korea, and Japan (Saeki 1951, Chart I, 349; Vine 1937, 11211).

...so...they carried venereal disease too...you want to make a religion of what they CARRIED?

...you have no evidence that they were "flourishing"...what you`ve described hadly sounds flourishing...the truth is you were NEVER popular...you had no millions...and they weren`t all kidnapped by Kurds...sheesh!

It is a long history of surviving, despite hostile state power and countless martyrs; a mission largely by lay people through education, medical care, state service, and trade, and of friendly coexistence – even mutual borrowing.

...you got your just desserts for meddling...other people were not impressed...so naturally you burned their homes down...when they came to haul you to jail, you yelped that you were being PERSECUTED..just like you shmucks still do...go away with this nonsense...because you believbe every fairy tale told to you...don`t expect others too...I`m giving you exactly what you got from pagans 1000 years ago and more...we tell you to get lost...and you try to burn down our forum temples and smash our idols...

>The story of Christian settlements near the salt lake of Issyk-kul – now in the southern U. S. S. R. – is yet to be told, but its fascinating outlines emerge from the two ancient cemeteries there, containing over 600 cross-engraved tombstones. The oldest date was 858 and the latest 1342. The inscriptions on many were in the Syriac script but the names indicate that these people were native converts.

..no they don`t. I see how you work...where there is NO proof...you rush in a Greg and tell ME to "prove" he wasn`t there...are you crazy?

One gravestone (shown in the image above) reads, “This is the grave of Pasak – The aim of life is Jesus, our Redeemer.” Another states, “This is the tomb of Shelicha, the famous Exegete and Preacher who enlightened all the cloisters with Light, being the son of Exegete Peter.

...all church propaganda...here was the Shroud of Turin too...you are all circus performers...proof my ass.

He was famous for his wisdom, and when preaching his voice sounded like a trumpet.”

..no wonder they strung him up.

Among the names are those of nine archdeacons, eight doctors of ecclesiastical jurisprudence and of biblical interpretation, 22 visitors, three commentators, 46 scholastics, two preachers and an imposing number of priests” (Young, 1984, 17).

...these "doctors" of your would all be clapped in a mental institution today..you are SO damn pathetic and SO welcome!
