Some of my threads are posted in order to help us to prepare for what i believe to be a soon coming persecution.. This is one of them...

Much of the focus in law enforcement training materials is on “domestic extremists”. We are being told that “domestic extremism” is just as great a threat to our national security as terror groups overseas are.

But exactly who are these “domestic extremists”?

Well, the truth is that you may be one of them.

I want to share with you a list that I have shared in a couple of previous articles. It is a list of 72 types of Americans that are considered to be “extremists” or “potential terrorists” in official U.S. government documents. This list will really give you a good idea of what Barack Obama means when he uses the word “extremist”. Each of these 72 items is linked, so if you would like to go see the original source document for yourself, just click on the link.

Okay Brother turnorburn, I'll bite. Is it a conspiracy, an ill fitted government, or satanic attack?

Not trying to scare anyone Eugene.. its a sign of the times is all..

The country that our forefathers founded is dying.

Now, individuals and organizations that attempt to restore the values that our founders once believed in so strongly are regarded as dangerous “extremists” that need to be watched carefully.

Sadly, most Americans don’t even realize what is happening to this nation. As long as they are fed a constant diet of mindless entertainment, most Americans are perfectly content to let “the experts” do their thinking for them.

Jason.. the question is..

"Do you fit into any of those categories?"
Under any lawful government ,even under George Washington those would be pUT down.

Would Jesus approve a christian who refused His command to render unto.Caeser what is Caesers?

If so show me that.

That's why I said you can't mention them.I could take the idea of sovereign citizens and put stealing water or electricity as something they will say you can't as I'm a soverein citizen.we have arrested citizens fir stealing electricity.I have called up possible theft.a coworker did and we have her mug shot on the office wall.she climbed the pole and reconnected her power.

Abuse of power and lawlenless go hand in hand.a believer can't be doing on or the other.
 
Biblical eschatology isn't a license to be a fearful jerk. People gravitate toward extremism when they feel insecure. Why should a Christian feel insecure?

Phl 4:5 - Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.​
 
Christians shouldn't feel insecure that's not the purpose of this thread.. i said its to...

What is you suggestion?
I read in Romans 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
AND
1 Timothy 2:2. (Pray) For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

Blessings in Christ Jesus.

Also written during a time of Persecution.
 
i said nothing about rebellion against the powers that be Jason....

""its to...help us to prepare for what i believe to be a soon coming persecution"
That article labeled acts of rebellion as extremism.you and it implied that to break laws such as sovereign citizens do ,murder, racketeering is persecution.
Its not.that's called you are a law breaker.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovereign_citizen_movement

There's room for protesting and civil disturNance and at times overthrowing an oppressive government, but you better be sure it's the right time.

I can't call two of things being put down oppression despite I call taxation theft at times.there's ways to fix that but avoiding taxes isn't one them.
 
Here's another viewpoint..

“The decades old trend, that Christianity is irrelevant, is increasingly giving way to the notion that Christianity is bad for society,” declares the Christian pollster Barna Group.

As suicide bombers target airports and subways, “religious extremism” is increasingly blamed. Governments struggle to maintain a balance of freedom for all beliefs, but it is obvious to the public that religious belief is the motivation behind the jihadists. After the Brussels bombing the pope asked for prayer for the terrorists who were “taken in by cruel fundamentalism.” Islam is okay, it’s just those “extreme fundamentalists.”

Unfortunately, as the general public becomes more non-religious, Bible believers get painted with the same brush. There is rising concern about strange people who go to church instead of brunch on Sunday, who read an old book of legends about a mythical being who rose from the dead, and who question evolution. The last straw is when these weirdos engage in “proselyting,” and try to convert your children. These “extremists” need to be watched.

Satan has always tried to push the gospel into the margins. As usual, the change in the meanings of words is a tip-off to where it is going. Over the past 50 years, “fundamentalist” has gone from someone who is admired for holding fast to the fundamental doctrines of scripture, to synonymous with Muslim “extremists” who act out the “fundamental” doctrines of the Qur’an.

But when the heart is unredeemed, liberty becomes freedom to sin. Then, Satan’s false religions become tools for death and destruction —his ultimate goal. Then Satan can sell the idea that all religions are bad, including biblical Christianity.

Increasingly, we who were known as strange “fundamentalists,” are lumped together with more suspicious “extremists” on the way to becoming feared “radicals.” What was once mainstream biblical views on hell, sodomy, and marriage are now considered antiquated Neanderthal concepts.

So, what’s a soul winner to do? The Great Commission doesn’t give us room to run and hide. More and more we are ambassadors from a foreign Kingdom, on assignment to this alien world that is under Satan’s heel. We must keep up our witness of the joys and benefits of our Kingdom —His love and sacrifice for lost sinners.

When we see ourselves as the sower in the parable, we know that not all gospel seed will sprout. We must spread generously, however, for there to be a maximum harvest. In the hustle and bustle of living, there is rarely time for discussion about the Kingdom. But it only takes a few seconds to hand someone a tract containing the seed of the gospel. When we do, then the Spirit has something to water, and God gives the increase.

Satan’s “extremists” bring death and destruction. We must be winsome “extremists” graciously inviting the bewildered to consider our Kingdom and our King whose name is true Love.

But we are under the same instruction as Ezekiel in chapter 3:18. We will be held accountable if we neglect to warn the sinner.

That's quite the list. One issue I see is about the list in the context it's given, compaired to the list out of that context. Even if the list was to give specific examples to people who show digns of being discontent with the sitution the nation or the world is in, (that seems to be the common theme in it from what I see), it might not mean that anyone in those groups are written off as extreemists. At least that's my best case scenario to give the list the benifit of the doubt.

But even with that benifit of the doubt making this an awareness kind of training to prevent abortiin clinics being attacked, not a platorm to act on. The context it's meant for now can change in the future. Making it an active tool for perscution. Worst case sitution, the list is already used in that manner.

Regardless we have to have faith through any of it. God is Good and Jesus already overcame the world. We can live and follow Jesus's teachings without the fear of what happens, causing us to react in a horrible way.
 
I see myself in many of these categories. Do we hide our candle under a bushel or do we allow the light of Christ to shine through us as we are His ambassadors to the world that needs His salvation. FDR said there is nothing to fear, but fear itself. We are not to fear persecutions even to death as we need not take concern for our self, but look for the glorious return of Christ and know then we will be with Hm for eternity.

Isaiah 41:10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. 11 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish. 12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought. 13 For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; 19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

How does your original post help anybody prepare for what you believe will be a fearful tomorrow?

Mat 6:34 - Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.​
