Ostracizing? Sure. Been did that. Discrimination? Sure. Been happening- on the low, and on Front Street. But, the kind that’s laid out in Revelations? I mean, it’s definitely trending in that direction, but, I think/hope/pray we’ve got a long way to go. I may be wrong. I don’t want to underestimate the gains that the enemy has made; but I also don’t want to be the boy who cried wolf. In the end, I trust God. It’s all His plan, His timing. I will gladly play the role He has written for me.
Something that has been heavy on my mind-
Matthew 6:19–21 (NASB95): 19 ?“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
20 “But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal;
21 for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
It’s all too easy to get distracted by this world. Keeping up with the Jones’s and such. Worrying about what you will eat, what you will wear, what you will drive, where you will live, etc.
Matthew 6:25 (NASB95): For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
Philippians 3:14 (NASB95): I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Is this not the most difficult thing for an American to grasp? This life, as short as it is, is nothing more than a fork in the road for our eternal souls. The test of all tests.
James 4:14 (NASB95): 14 ?Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away.
A vapor that determines an eternity. Just, wow.
God, I thank You for Your grace and mercy. I thank You for Your Word- by which we can test all things, and find comfort in Your promises. I thank You for the sacrifice of Your precious Son, Jesus Christ, for the forgiveness of all sin. To You be the glory and honor, forever. Amen.

Do you think you will personally witness severe persecution of Christians in this country?

Where in Europe are Christians going through "severe persecution?"
I didn’t say they were severe persecutions in Europe or America yet, but the news is littered with Christian pastors and street preachers especially being arrested for speaking out against homosexuality and gay marriage. For that matter, you need to look no further than Canada for that as well with their broad hate speech legislation.

Oh, thank goodness. I thought we only had another 20 years or so.

It’s happening, they are literally trying to pry us from our kids. That’s pretty awful. Conservative Christians have more kids and they know it deep inside their anti-life brains. They are pushing their sick gender ideologies into the minds of our kids as young as 4 years old. These people are evil.

Wanting to team up with the Muslims and throw gay people off the roof certainly isn't going to give you any favor with the majority of Americans.
News flash- we’re not here to gain the approval of anyone but God.
Matthew 10:28 (NASB95): Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in ?hell.

Can we just agree you(liberals not meaning you personally) leave our kids alone? Christians are extremely tolerant. If you tried this gender ideology none sense in majority Muslim country there would be violence.

You think God would approve of you murdering people for being gay?

Liberals know who they can pick on. You use our Christian tolerance to manipulate and open the door to sexualize little kids. I don’t want gays being thrown off buildings. Child molesters are a different story.

It’s funny, but scandalizing little kids is no joke.
Posted on 7/6/23 at 10:27 pm to Mike da Tigah
yes.

If you want to seriously understand true persecution, then read the Lives of the Saints of those persecuted for Christ during the reigns of Diocletian, Nero, Licinius et al…
And the persecution of the Church during the Soviet reign of terror…
And the persecution the Church is under in China

Well, that’s quite narrow, my friend. True Christianity is absolutely the most diverse, equitable and beautiful thing that we can ever witness. It’s no wonder the devil has and is trying desperately to co-opt it into the pervasive perversion that is the secular world of today. A true knowledge of, faith in, and shared love of Christ is the only thing that can heal our wounds and unify the children of God.

I detest the trannys as well but you are delusional if you think child molestation started with the relatively recent trans movement. You'll have no end of heterosexual people to throw off the roof as well.
