This Romanian pastor was imprisoned and tortured by communists for 14 years, while his only son wandered homeless on the streets and his wive lay ill in prison. Here is what he said about the communists who destroyed his family and stole 14 years of his life: "It was in prison that we found the hope of salvation for the communists. It was there that we developed a sense of responsibility toward them. It was in being tortured by them that we learned to love them." He also made the following statement before the fall of communism: "If the communists are overthrown in our country it will be the most holy duty of every Christian to go into the streets and at the risk of his own life defend the communists from the righteous fury of the multitudes whom they have tyranized." Would we do this for Tiller? For the terrorists? For the boss at work who make our lives miserable? Would we consider this "our most holy duty?"Noelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18034621766458421223noreply@blogger.com
