He Was Beheaded For Christ

Yes, he lost his head because he told Herod and Herodius they were in an adulterous and unlawful marriage. There are many people who claim to be Christian today who hate those of us who repeat God's Principles for marriage as though it was our own idea instead of commands of Christ.

There are those who hate us just this much, but cannot get away with beheading us so they use covert means of manipulation and intimidation in an attempt to force us to say and do the things they say and do.

Even those who don't do these things approve of those who do, continuing the emotional abuse to keep from feeling convicted over their sinfulness. Little do they realize that one day those who defy God's commands and those who approve of them will answer to God for their rebellion.

Romans 1:31-32 "…31 They are senseless, faithless, heartless, merciless. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things are worthy of death, they not only continue to do these things, but also approve of those who practice them."

Being accepted by the culture carries more weight with modern day Christians than God's commands!

Mark 7:13 "13 Thus you nullify the word of God by the tradition you have handed down. And you do so” in many such matters."
