“Propaganda against the Islamic regime” likely just means that he was preaching Christianity, but Iran’s Islamic regime is deeply insecure, and cannot bear the propagation of contrary ideas.
“Iranian Authorities Again Charge Active House Church Member,” International Christian Concern, May 3, 2024:
5/3/2024 Iran (International Christian Concern) — On March 11, Iranian authorities charged house church member Shabeddin “Shahab” Shahi with “propaganda against the Islamic regime.” Shahi recently appeared at a Revolutionary Court in Karaj and is awaiting a second and final hearing at the sixth branch of the court.
Shahi served four months in prison in 2019 on the same charge. Authorities re-arrested him in December 2023, along with fellow house church members Milad Goodarzi and Alireza Nourmohammadi. Goodarzi and Nourmohammadi, as well as Nourmohammadi’s brother, Amir Nourmohammadi, have previously served time in prison for their Christian faith.
The Nourmohammadi brothers, as well as another house church member, Hossein Sha’bani, have also been charged with engaging in propaganda against Islam as part of Article 500, a controversial amendment to Iran’s penal code.
Multiple other families associated with the house church have been interrogated for their Christian activities since Shahi’s in December….

Christians who are persecuted in islamic countries/Street preachers might find koran 10:94 helpful
“And if thou muhammed art in doubt concerning that which WE reveal unto thee,then question those who read the Scripture that was before thee”
That’s the BIBLE which allah actually confirms koran 3:3 but “holy men” of islam FALSELY say was corrupted
allah clearly does not say it was corrupted!
Shouldn’t muslims obey allah and consult those who know the Bible?
allah seems to be saying that they are the people to consult:he is that confident
muslims cannot surely deny allah.
muslims should check the sources but AWAY from “scholars” and holy men.
allah says to do that.
I call it “allah’s challenge” to muslims,the only condition is that you stay away from holymen interpreting it for you..
interpret it yourself..

The real reason why the ayatollahs and mullahs who have so much power in that tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran and so they put this Christian woman prison because of they’re afraid that if the Iranian people would even hear the Bible read or start to compare and contrast the Bible with Quran the people of Iran might start to view the Bible and the superior of those two different books.
Since, that Islamic tyranny is based on Islam and it’s Sharia which have their total foundation on the Quran is could be a threat to those in power in Iran if the people did discover that the Bible is ,indeed, better and superior to that “holy book” of Islam.
Therefore those Muslim clerics along with other Muslim tyrants do have “security concerns” when it comes to Christians making known the Bible to the people of Iran.
As a result ,of this to maintain power , those ayatollahs and mullahs of Iran to everything they can , as cruel as they are , to keep the people of Iran in the bondage of the ignorant and darkness of Islam and away from the Light of Bible based Christianity.
It therefore will on the future Day of Judgement, u God, Romans 14:12. , a time of desolation and sorrow for those Muslim clerics who do everything, they can to keep the people of Iran in the darkness of Islam and away from the light of the Bible and Christianity.
As the Bible does inform its reader in Isaiah 5:20′ ” Woe to those who put evil for good ,and good for evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness.” [N.K.J.V.]

About those ayatollahs, mullahs and imams of Iran, according to the doctrines of the Bible, Isaiah 8:20. False religious teacher’s .Meaning false teachers who teach and indoctrinate the false doctrines of the false religion of Islam into the hearts and minds of others. Such false teachers are described in the Bible, in Second Peter 2:1,2 “There were false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction and many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. [N.K.J.V.]
Those same Muslims clerics also tell the Iranian people many awful terrible things that aren’t true about Christians and Christianity , likewise they speak many negative and false things about the Jewish people and the State of Israel. This is a reflection of the prediction of such lying falsehood speakers written about in the Bible , which informs its reader about men who “Speak evil of things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption.” Second Peter 2:12.
In addition, it should be make clear that in the context and meaning of the above Bible verse Second Peter 2:1. The word “destruction” does not mean “loss of being but loss of well-being, as the destruction of well- being. That is “going to ruin” by ending up and a terrible place of awful suffering which the Bible call hell, Luke 16:19-31.
Walter Sieruk says
The way for a person to discover the truth concerning the nature of Jesus is found in the Bible verse Isaiah 8:20. This instructs “To the law of the testimony. If they do not speak according to the word, it is because there is no light in them.” [N.K.J.V.]
In other words, if a religious teacher has teaching that are in contradiction to the Word, the Bible, then that teachers is a false teacher who teaches false doctrines. The Muslim clerics, as the imam and mullahs, teach and speak doctrines about God from the Quran .
As the Quran in 112 teaches “He is God alone: God is the eternal begetteth not…” Likewise, this religious book which is the entire foundation of and for Islam further teaches in 19:35. “It is not befitting to God that He should beget a son.” In great contrast the Bible teaches in John 1:14. “The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory , the glory of the only begotten of the Father ,full of grace and truth.” Likewise John 3:16 teaches “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son… Then just a little further in verse 18 it is written about Jesus Who is “the only begotten Son of God. “ Other places in the Bible further teach that Jesus is the Son of God as in Matthew 16:15:16. Luke 1:35. John 3:36. First John 4:14. 15. 5:14,15.
Moreover, to be even more clear the Bible teaches that Jesus is the Son of God, Who is God the Father. As found in Matthew 3:16,17. First John 2:22,23. 4:14,15. Of course , it ,very much, needs to made even more specific . The Bible teaches that Jesus is also God the Son. As seen in Hebrew 1:8 and First John 5:20.
The ayatollahs, mullahs and imams of Iran as well as the other apologists for Islam will try to “explain” this all away. As in they will try brush off all those Bible verse off by making the claim that the Bible had been corrupted, through time, by Christians and that’s why the Bible reads as it does. That claim they make actually underestimate the Power of God to protect and keep His Word safe and intact ,through time, and away from the corruption of men.
In conclusion ,with the above instruction of the way to find doctrinal truth in Isaiah 8:20 and in the light of the Bible verse provided it may be clearly seen, by all those who are willing to see, that Islam is in terrible doctrinal error and it is therefore a false religion, Proverbs 14:12. John 14:6.

The foundation of this whole Islamic “Republic “of Iran is based on the “holy book” of Islam the Koran, as in 47;4. Some call this religious book, the Quran. All this leads to a very important question: “Is the Quran the Word of God or is it a fabrication of a man. Thus, is the Quran the truth or a fiction and a hoax ?”
The jihadists use many verses from the Quran as the main source of justification for their violence, mayhem and murders. As found in For example, 4:89. 5:33. 9:5,111,123. The answer is clearly given on pages 145 through 157 in THE ISLAMIC INVASION by Robert Morey in which he wrote a section on the Quran with its self-contradictions. Just two of the many he cited are the following “The Quran differs on whether a day is a thousand years or fifty thousand years in God’s sight’ and “Who was first to believe? Abraham or Moses [Sura 6:14 versus 7:143]? The above is inconsistent and illogical.
Further, Morey wrote about “The fact that Judaism and Christianity broke up into different sects was used in the Quran to prove that they are not of God [Suras 30:20-32. 42:13, 14]. Yet Islam has broken up into many warring sects and therefore cannot be true if the Quran is right.” Moreover, Morey in his book shows many more contradictions and absurdities in the Quran, there are and how Muhammad incorporated extra Biblical and Jewish folklore along with pre-Islamic Arabian myth and parts of Zoroastrian and Hindu stories into the Quran.
Furthermore, the Muslims claim that “the Quran is the direct, literal word of God unmodified in any way by the Prophet who uttered them at the bidding of God.”
In addition in the book UNVEILING ISLAM by Ergun Mehmet and Eethi Caner has shown that the Quran was modified in the following account on pages 45. “Muhammad felt the need to improve on the words of Allah, since he changed Allah’s wisdom for his own on several occasions. A hadith tells of the nonchalant emendations of Muhammad:’ On a number of occasions he [a scribe] had, with the Prophet’s consent changed the closing words of verses. For example, when the prophet had said ‘God is mighty and wise ‘ Adbollah b. Abi Sarh suggested writing down ‘Knowing and wise’ and the Prophet answered that there was no objection. Having observed a succession of changes of this type, Adbollah renounced Islam on the grounds that revelations, if from God could not be changed at the prompting of a scribe such as himself. After his apostasy he went to Mecca and joined the Qorayshites.’
Other writers reveal that later Muhammad and his people did go war with the Qorayshites and he personally killed Abdollah. Obviously Abdollah knew too much and Muhammad wanted Abdollah’s knowledge to die with him.”
In conclusion, the Quran is not only a fiction, it’s also a hoax and therefore This Islamic regime of Iran rests on a “house of cards.” That is total and complete falsehood.
