Answer to 2nd True or False FALSE: The Bible certainly speaks about Christians sharing in the suffering of Christ as a result of confessing faith in Him (Matthew 5:11; Romans 8:17; 2 Corithians 1:5; Philippians 3:10; 1 Peter 4:13). However, sometimes Christians also suffer because of their own wrongdoing. For example, the thief on the cross received the death penalty as a result of his crimes, not a result of his faith (Luke 23:40-43). Such suffering is not a participation in the innocent suffering of Christ, but simply "a bearing [or other punishment] for doing wrong" (1 Peter 2:20).  ¶ 11:12 AM
