Let's not forget that we do not wrestle against flesh and blood.Ephesians 6:10-18King James Version (KJV)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;
Amen Tozsu. No weapon formed against us shall prosper or prevail our heritage as promised by the Lord. God will vindicate his own. Meanwhile we keep on through it all .Sis L
For sure. Jesus said those who endure to the end will be saved. Brother Ken will endure because he is sustained by the grace of God. The persecuted endure because they are sustained by the grace of God. We will ebdure because we are sustained by the grace of God.Simply my thoughts.
quote: "It will only be a matter of time before laws will be passed which will call for the extermination of Christians."Bear- do you really believe this? The only way this could conceivably happen is in a post-apocalyptic world where radioactive ashes are still fluttering from the sky and society has totally broken down, in which event there will be no laws but only lawlessness. On top of that, all blame for the nuclear winter facing the world would have to be placed squarely and convincingly on Christians. But again in that scenario the strong survivors would be killing the weak survivors, regardless of whether they are Christian or not.Please demonstrate how, in our current society today, a law will be passed to exterminate Christians. We barely execute child murderers.

Brother that will be a subject for another thread. Right now I don't really want to get into that issue.I want to honor Sister Leslie and keep this brother in prayer. But the times are getting darker. And evil is being called good and good evil. Before everything is said and done many more will be arrested for taking a stand for a righteousness. For now I will leave it at that.Just my thoughts.
Matthew 10:28"Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell."Revelation 21:8"8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."
Todd, I dont want to distract from this thread either so maybe you could start a thread with that question but enough to say that many people in the 1920s in Germany could never have foreseen the horror that was soon to be visited upon them, and they supported the man of horror........bro Frank
