Matthew 28:18 King James Version
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Suffice to say when you reject false doctrine you will find that the Roman Catholic Church Crusade and Inquisition is ongoing and has never ceased. Therefore, if you are not being persecuted, you would do well to examine yourself to see whether or not you are in the Faith.
Elohim/God has his Earthly Church. Is that Earthly Church the Roman Catholic Church?
There you go again skirting around direct questions you refuse to answer and giving scripture that has nothing to do with what I asked you.
God does not have an earthly church, but a Spiritual people that live here on earth who make up the body of Christ with Jesus being the head of that body. Why do you conform to the worldly doctrines of man and why won't you answer my questions? They are not hard to answer.
Eph 6:12 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.
Mat 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.
I will ask you once more. So, how do you describe yourself being physically persecuted by these groups? Have they come in and beaten you, raped your wife or daughters if you have any? Have they burned down your home? Do they threaten you to denounce Christ?
These persecutions, even to death, have always been and will always be until the day Christ returns and cast alive the beast out of the sea and the beast out of the earth who is the son of perdition/false prophet/last antichrist casting them into the lake of fire.
Rev 6:9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
Rev 6:10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
Rev 6:11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
It is those who are sealed by the Holy Spirit through the Spiritual rebirth from above unto the day of redemption that are worthy of drinking from the cup of Christ.
