It has always been...I've had the same thoughts. It has always been open season on Christians. People feel they can do and say what they want to us. <br />I've always considred myself an "Old Testament" Christian; so to speak. <br /><br />Yes i know that there were no Christians before Christ. Yet i feel that since all things were created by, for and through Him, the saints who were waiting on the prophesied Savior may as well be Christians.<br /><br />The reason people treat us any kind of way and give other faiths a pass is as you said, seeing charlatans running rampant on tv and getting caught and also it is a matter of reading one's own opinions into verses such as "turn the other cheek", the meek shall inherit the earth", "go the extra mile" and many others. <br /><br />For some reason they interpret these scriptures as saying 'be a wimp.' Yet there are scriptures when Paul writes in 2 Corintians 11:19-2, "You gladly put up with fools since you are so wise! In fact, you even put up with anyone who enslaves you or exploits you or takes advantage of you or pushes himself forward or slaps you in the face. To my shame I admit that we were too weak for that!" <br /><br />Now we know that Paul greatly suffered physically for Christ. He was beaten, flogged, stoned, shipwerecked and many other terrible things happened to him as he served and glorified God. Also there was mental suffering for his followers when they were led astray by false doctines of men. Yet we should not interpret the aforementioned scriptures and Paul's sufferings to mean we are to be walked on and over in every single incident. <br /><br />In other words, yes, there are times when God requires us to "turn the other cheek", "go the extra mile" and even give our lives. Yet sometimes you must defend yourself as well as your family and God's sanctuary (Jesus driving the peddlers out of the temple with a whip He made!) when necessary. That is called righteous indignation.<br /><br />On another occassion when Christ was sending out His disciples He told them to arm themselves. Many people don't believe this. Here it is: <br />"Then Jesus asked them, "When I sent you without purse, bag or sandals, did you lack anything?" "Nothing," they answered. He said to them, "But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one." Luke 32:35, 36. Jesus didn't tell them to buy a sword so they could slice through butter! <br /><br />We all know with just His Word Jesus could have stopped any attack made against His followers. Yet He told them to buy a sword. Now this doesn't mean Christians should instigate anything violent. As i stated earlier God may require our lives at any moment without defending ourselves (remember the Columbine shooting? One of the killers asked a young girl hiding was she a Christian? She said yes and he shot her to death. She died professing her faith.) <br /><br />Again in no way am i advocating violence or the instigation of violence. Yet as Ecclesiates 3 says:<br /><br />There is a time for everything, <br />and a season for every activity under heaven:<br /><br />A time to be silent and a time to speak, <br /><br />A time for war and a time for peace.nateboomerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15209430829315744794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588117439332715658.post-40929634254601853312010-07-12T21:18:37.181-07:002010-07-12T21:18:37.181-07:00Right.Right.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09212743923364795680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588117439332715658.post-78764736713826488422010-05-29T17:43:56.864-07:002010-05-29T17:43:56.864-07:00i'm not white and not black; not red green or ...i'm not white and not black; not red green or yellow; pink nor blue.<br /><br />I'm God's. So are you. I'm and American just like you; a protestant.<br /><br />The mission of satan via the Jesuits is working; almost to the point people can't orate what it is they believe or Know to be truth - the total onslaught of lies have taken their toll over the years where even in 1950 a person was born into romes jesuit society in america covering up the protestant reformation. <br /><br />Ordained and sworn blood oaths to eliminate/destroy the reformation because Martin Luther pointed to rome and called her by her name: Anti-Christ.<br /><br />Everywhere in our society they infiltrate in order to gain - not for themselves but for Rome.<br /><br />Rome's jesuits have molested children since before there was a word describing it. There's still no word describing it. It is what they have sworn to do to ruin any thing good and pure and moral before men - via a thing jesuits call church and priests.<br /><br />Millions upon millions of torn lifes and dollars stuffed in pockets with no accountability whatsoever. The Lord said to Expose people like this. If the president of america is in on it, I am disobediant to God if I do not expose him by saying so. I am saying So, and will until the Lord returns.<br /><br />I love the article exposing our selves as wusses. It makes me think how much I am or not; and consider my actions forward. <br /><br />Guilt would have me consider I am a wuss. I think i have been but not any more. I didn't have enough of what it takes; and that's not a "pair" as some might think but solid ground in Jesus Christ.<br /><br />I suggest a solid year studying rome vatican and backed by scripture and find for yourself why, whom, where and when the terrible day of the Lord will arrive when He destroys satan who follows the current standing blasphemous pontus poop; self appointedness Joe.<br /><br />We are unified in spirit. The word is written on our hearts and minds - "..but that One of perdition be revealed" is why we wait and watch and EXPOSE it and point to it and say so, until He comes. <br /><br />To the Overcomers, is your just reward (coming). <br /><br />Islam is a product of rome so the two should look alike in their finality - that being, convert or die. I'm never going to die, so, that's out, for me.<br /><br />Have you read the Verona Treaty? Agenda 21, Sustainable Developement? <br /><br />EVERY other "religion" in the world is worshipping saturn (satan) indicated by the six-pointed star dating to the 2nd century, so far. <br /><br />Speaking of little else, God rescued his children time and time again from their imaginations (sun worship sun day is roman). God numbered the days for a reason, this is why - Anti-christ. She caused american functional illiteracy via the Jesuits'infiltration of america, since our inception, by the day, night, year, decade, under cover of darkness and especially while we pay less and less attention, while they make it worse (pant, pant) with other agendea - by design.Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08274856060132111125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588117439332715658.post-27976307988706019862009-05-20T19:32:14.591-07:002009-05-20T19:32:14.591-07:00I just came across your blog, from someone from th...I just came across your blog, from someone from the Conservative Black Woman.<br /><br />I'm not black, but I am a Christian who love the Lord. My husband is a strong believer that the church has become a 'wussy' because of the watering down of the Word of God. As has been said, satan has more Bibles than God does. <br /><br />If we all would even be unified in the Word, I think we could become unified in the world. <br /><br />What do you think?Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12580498957271396362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588117439332715658.post-39837148795586274342008-11-19T22:25:00.000-08:002008-11-19T22:25:00.000-08:00Whew, good to see you again.

It came to me that I was rather lackadaisical about my faith and didn't possess enough fear of the Lord to stand strong in my beliefs (spiritually that is, theologically and apologetically I can be). This has also been the one of the final breaks that has pulled me away from wanting to be of the world and having fear of man. It's truly an awesome feeling.Ida Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12980438873639015511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588117439332715658.post-38660192420614337352008-09-28T14:18:00.000-07:002008-09-28T14:18:00.000-07:00Angela!!!!!
