If only we could get the secular world to respect God,May it never be!
I know the Beatitudes really well.
No calling others names...never done it here; never done it in real life.
Be careful of the words you say,
Make sure they're nice and sweet,
You never know from day to day,
Which words you'll have to eat.
Source forgotten !
I'm not saying to lash out at anyone...or should we really even just feel like it. Injustice...plenty in this world. I expect it. Acting out our feeling? We're not 5 years old SB.
All I'm saying is.....
What do we do about it?
Just ask if the person is Christophobic.
That's all. It kind of says a lot in one simple question.
It seems to have worked for every other group.
Agreed.
Except I don't care to be mistreated.
I don't count it as pure joy.
I don't think those in Africa that are being killed because they believe in Jesus consider it as pure joy. Watching a small son's head cut off because the family is Christian is not joyful.
I'm not talking about being called a name I don't like...
I'm talking about dealing with persons that are afraid of Christianity....
L. Krauss...a renowned scientist has gone so far as to say that something CAN come from nothing because of his fear of God and the fact that God might be real.
This is what I'm talking about...
N ot being called names because I'm Christian.
Being called names is what I'd like to see stopped.
If only we could get the secular world to respect us and the God we serve.
You,mean we Not God is to change mens hearts?
If by respect you,mean not,blasphemy,also believe that Son died then ,doesn't that mean that person is saved
As much as I would love to see it,Jesus himself said that world would hate you for His sake that there would be few ,
The Egyptian respected joseph so,much that they included a type of circumcision and recorded highly of him.yet 400 years later God decimated Egpyt as foretold to Abraham.
While I would love to see what you say ,locally and world wide I could use examples of the opposite .
Calabash,a black town of thatch houses located in the Savannahs of st.Lucie county ,it had gambling,drinking ,prostitution and the weekend noise of merrirment could be heard from miles away.the sheriff tolerated that until he heard of outlaws hidden there and formed a posse and arrested all and burned it down.blacks up to,the civil,rights act of 68 couldnt have a good time along side whites .this was their only place .in,sure they didnt cuss,swear there .
That was pre 1925 ,possibly 1905,and before as with modern roads and so forth thatch homes wouldn't be needed.we had speak easy homes,bars here I have been to three possible places.two,confirmed and one suspected of it.
