Interesting how the Spanish Inquisition occupies such a prominent place in Western imaginations, yet it is but a fraction of the most recent atrocity befalling Christians in the middle east, let alone what has been happening for nigh on millennia.
Or how people (though usually a thing kids learn about and end up saying) go on about the crusades as one of the first things they learn and srart repeating about the irrationality of their faith.
Christians truly embody the idea of “crying out in pain as they strike you”. It’s hilarious watching you cry about oppression when it’s obvious you’re only sad it’s not you do it.
Very much appreciated this AM. I've been sorely tempted to ask people caught up in the rights and wrongs of the current Mid East crisis about the Armenians being expelled. Where are all the flags for that? Looking forward to the next part. Thanks again.
To be fair though, when in history did people see Armenia as a centerpiece of history to be noted? All the way back to Antiquity they're a regional power but their place in the story in the common imagination is always the herald of a wider imperial conflict, elicited by shenanigans in and around Armenia or its royal court. This, tragic though it may be, was a regional conflict within the territories and all the empires around it have bigger fish to fry at the moment so they're entirely neglected, it's not something without reason.
@@theeccentrictripper3863 At one time in history, we were a military rival of the Romans. I would wager we were regarded with some supra-regional sense of importance then.
@@surengrigorian7888 I dunno about rival, perpetual thorn in the side maybe, eternal cause of wars between Rome and Persia definitely, but I can't remember a war where the Armenians fought Rome to a standstill, especially in the open field as opposed to their mighty mountains.
The Western powers totally loosing sight of - and "dropping the ball" with regards to capital C Christendom in the wider world is one of - if not the greatest tragedies of modernity.
All this is especially fascinating to me because the literal echos of these conflicts permeate where I live here in California, we have a massive Chaldean community here and the churches to go with them; you can hear Aramaic here and there when you're out and about as frequently if not more than other minority languages depending on the place.
Very interesting, could a more in depth look at the decline of the church on the east be made? I assume is because there was no state sponsor after the Muslim conquests?
If you enjoyed this video, please like and leave a comment. It helps the channel a lot. Many thanks.

Well the inquisition was founded to hunt conversos that still practiced Judaism in spite of converting to the true faith
Radical secularists use anything to justify their ideology.
Radical secularism.

A tremendous presentation. God be with you. 🙏☦️
Thank you for this. For a history of the Levantine Christians I recommend Schwerpunkt's videos on the Maronites and especially the Crusades ones

To be fair, very active Armenian communities on the west coast.

Will Assads relationship with the Christian’s be a topic of discussion in a later video?
Thank you for shedding light on this topic. God bless.
Happy to see you post sir!

Which Christian country, man? Does your wife wear a head covering? Do you do as much as God commands you or not?

First-ish and only 4 minutes late, Thank You for this one, especially now.

This was excellent AM. Keep it up, can’t wait for part 2. 👍
I like the short ones.
If we do not advocate for ourselves, no one will.
Excellent subject!

Necessary video.

You really should do an episode on Nubia after this.
Praise Jesus Christ
Where are your sources that you are using to make your claims?
You should see "God's Battalions" by Rodney Stark, it talks about a lot of the same stuff

Thats a weird take to have considering your pagan warlord prophet ripped off Judaism and Christianity.
