The Iranian Christian pastor, Youcef Nadarkhani, still faces the death penalty for not only converting to Christianity, but teaching his children and other to follow Jesus Christ. According to the teachings of Islam and the laws of Iran it is blasphemy to convert from Islam to Christianity and carries a mandatory death penalty. But as of now Iran has not carried out the execution.
Jesus told us in the Sermon on the Mount that we are blessed of God when we are spitefully used for His name sake. Would we as followers of Jesus Christ be willing to put our life on the line for Him. Most American Christians would not even take a stand on biblical principles. If we believe that Jesus is the Son of God and claim to love Him, why do we not keep His commandments and demonize those who do?
