@Historia Antiqua So what? Millions of Christians HAVE been martyered over the centuries. Thousands upon thousands by the Roman Church. That is an undeniable fact. So in memory of those brothers and sisters regardless of where they died.

[@towardsheaven4196]

@Historia Antiqua there were gladiatorial fights way before the Coliseum was built and it's a proven fact that Christians were massacred there once it was built... You're an ignorant... Gladiator fights were even happening before Christ!

[@towardsheaven4196]

@Historia Antiqua the first christian persecution was in the year 64AD...What the hell are you talking about? Mid 3rd century? 🤣

[@towardsheaven4196]

@Historia Antiqua and yes...sure you believe in Spartacus as a fact even without never finding his body...You probably believe in Alexander the great(also with remains that were never found) You most likely believe in George Washington even when you never saw him in person... but somehow somebody(Jesus) who is accepted by the great majority of people in history as a fact hits you in your feelings... Aren't you too sensitive? Do you need a shoulder to cry on? 🤣

[@royalprotector]

I presume this is the Coliseum in Rome. So many Christians laid down their lives there. It is fitting that the sound of the Gospel continues centuries later on the same site.

[@aduenamz2569]

Mileniuns latter.

[@Baltic_Hammer6162]

Not that many were martyred in the Coliseum. It was mostly for blood sports of all kinds. Circus Maximus was where most of the Christians were martyred. Its a short distance from the Coliseum. Nero's palace had a connection to Circus Maximus where he could securely walk out to his private trackside suite to watch the chariot races. That's likely why the Circus Max was the martyr site. There's nothing there now. If you didn't know about it you'd think you're walking across a flat grassy park.

[@royalprotector]

@@Baltic_Hammer6162 I appreciate the information, Baltic Hammer

[@Baltic_Hammer6162]

@@royalprotector No problem. Its been ten years since I was there so I took a peek at Google Maps satellite. I see some stone at one end. And see the remnants of the walkway from the palace to the edge of the Circus. The emporers had a habit of tearing down the prior guy's buildings to put up his own monuments to himself. So I can't say for certain the palace ruins above the racetrack are Nero's or somone elses. Frankly I was overwhelmed by the size of the area and the many layers of history there. To illustrate this I totally missed the Arch of Titus. I wanted to see the carvings of his triumph march carrying the spoils from the Jerusalem Temple. I must''ve been in a daze as I was close to it by the Coliseum but somehow never saw it. Love to go back and spend 10 days instead of 3. So much to contemplate!

[@Jauhl1]

@@harrytpk Mmh, you realize Martin Luther is the founder of Protestant reformation? It's called the battle hymn of the reformation because this was the last psalm protestant armies sang before facing the Catholic armies in battle who were trying to eradicate their faith.

I remember being in the Colliseum It was not just a tourist it was so profound and very creepy. I thank my Lutheran upbringing for knowing true history. All years since...my life has been filled with some painful tragic events. I listen to this song with pain but it tells me to be strong. If the early Christians could continue one through such vile torture...so can I. My pain is tolerable...I just have to cope. Even when left to cope alone...I have God and the comfort of Jesus. People ask have I found Jesus...I say...he found me as a tiny child. I have always known.

[@EDUAR0197]

1.A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing; Our helper He, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing: For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe; His craft and pow’r are great, and, armed with cruel hate, On earth is not his equal. 2.Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing, Were not the right Man on our side, the Man of God’s own choosing: Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He; Lord Sabaoth, His Name, from age to age the same, And He must win the battle. 3.And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us, We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us; The Prince of Darkness grim, we tremble not for him; His rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure, One little word shall fell him. 4.That word above all earthly pow’rs, no thanks to them, abideth; The Spirit and the gifts are ours through Him Who with us sideth; Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also; The body they may kill: God’s truth abideth still, His kingdom is forever.
