Disciples of Jesus and how they died

Peter - crucified
Andrew - crucified
Matthew - killed by the sword
James, son of Alphaeus- crucifed
Philip - crucified
Simon - crucified
Thaddaeus - killed by arrows
James, brother of Jesus - stoned
Thomas - spear thrust
Bartholomew - crucified
James, son of Zebedee - the sword

Not forgetting Apostle Paul, Stephen the first matyr the Old Testament prophets who killed, what is a little abuse on this board? It just goes to show that the message of the Gospel is foolishness to those who are perishing.

2 Corinthians 4: 8-9

We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.

You're right. A little abuse on this board is nothing. Why not put yourself to the sword and REALLY join your heroes in paradise?

Why? You haven't been crucified, spear thrusted, killed by the sword or stoned to death, except in a metaphorical way, but then it doesn't count as it doesn't involve any physical pain and, unfortunately, it doesn't get rid of you once and for all

1. Made-up people from fictional stories don't count.
2. Even if they were real (yeah, right) to put yourself in the company of those people shows an overweening arrogance that even I would blush at.
3. Feck off and die, you cretin.
4. err, that's it.

Sorry to disappoint you but I think you belong more to this group, if you really need the feel to belong to something.

"James, brother of Jesus - stoned"

Are you Catholic? Catholic tradition says Mary remained a virgin all her life. The Bible says Mary went on to have other children, both girls and boys.
