Again ...

You don’t seem to understand the difference between FORCED CONVERSIONS and retaliatory street crimes.

Granted, what you are recalling here are acts of resistance by those being forced to remain or convert to Zoroastrianism.

You are doing a great job demonstrating that the Magian Persian Government were the true aggressors, while the Christians were lashing back, and in most cases suffered more persecution as a result.

So far your attempts to answer my challenges have been no proof at all.

In this case you are strengthening our position that the Church of the East has suffered persecution since day one without any possibility of forcing anyone to become members.

By the time you reach the 14th century, you will see that this forceless approach gained more people for Meshikha than any other church up until that time.

Thanks for helping to point this out, David
