Members phkrause Posted October 20, 2013 Members Share Posted October 20, 2013 Should we just shrug off the alarming daily reports of persecution of people who follow Jesus? After all, He warned His followers that they would be hated, right? http://www.beliefnet.com/Faiths/Home-Pag..._term=yahoo.com Quote phkrause By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near. {5T 451.1} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoAspen Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 The article did not persuade me one way or the other as it lacked quite a bit of documentation. In General I would suspect that 'complaints' are correct in some parts of the world. However, in this country, as normal, the statement 'religious persecution' has become a buzz word for certain groups as a way of trying to automatically get sympathy for their particular brand of truth or belief. There are a lot of outlandish statements made by those who primary focus is political in content. Sitting the name of Christ has been become very popular, for all the wrong reasons!!!
