then those people, those people are worshiping Jesus Christ knowing it could absolutely cost them their life and they're doing it anyway.

They are elite to us.

They are giants of Christians in these other places.

Yes, they are elite.

They are God's elite Christians.

We are not.

We're in America.

We have a constitution that protects us from things like that happening to us.

Right?

You can't do that to Christians in the United States.

Now they can come after you and call you bad names, blah, blah.

That's not real persecution.

And so I take real issue with Christians that say, God would never make us go through that.

I'm like, what Bible are you reading?

The 12 disciples were pretty tight with Jesus.

Were they spared?

No.

I would say the 12 disciples were probably tighter with Jesus than any 12 men that ever lived, more than likely, right?

He was tight with some other ones too, Paul and Daniel and King David and all that.

But the 12 disciples all wound up either being hung, beheaded, in prison for the rest of their lives, whatever.
