NO , in truth its not me who is hated . Not really . If i agreed with you , you would love and embrace me , no matter how i typed .
Its not me you hate . But that should terrify you . What makes me different . WHY is it that i do not agree with ellen white .
What keeps me from false docrtrine and ONLY in that bible . You are loved my friend . But flee ellen white and let us start fresh in bibles .
Congratulations. You are the first person I have flipped the <ignore> switch on. I won't be able to see any more of your posts.

@amigo de christo You might want to see someone about that martyr complex, btw.
No . i embrace it . Though here at this site , i have been treated as a king next to most sites .
No one here has persecuted me . But true persectuion does exist and in its mild form i have faced it .
And all for speaking truth from a heart that desires not one soul to perish .
ANd yet i was once the worst man , or at least one of the worst men on this earth .
Surely you didnt think disagreements is what i meant by persecution ...............did you . OH NO . not at all .
But when men scream at your face , IN PERSON , for simply speaking truth and trying to help them . yeah , that is a very , very
and i do mean very MILD form of persecution . BUT its gonna get far worse for men like me . AND I EMBRACE EVERY OUNCE OF IT .
IF LOVING JESUS costs me all , THEN AMEN TO HE BE THE GLORY .

Well the truth is i am gonna say it wherever i go . But you do have this choice , you can hear it or reject it .
But remember , i am not pointing to me . I am saying BIBLES OPEN and learn THAT .
Its true i often bring those reminders .
Here i only think its fair to point to myself one time .
SO here is what i am , a hog pig blind man wicked and evil . OKAY . NOW lets not end on that note .
BUT JESUS in me , THE SPIRIT IN ME , now that is HOLY RIGHTEOUS GOOD AND TRUE .
Aka . the ONLY GOOD THING IN ME IS FROM GOD . PEROID .
Now if i were still living like the old man , I WOULD NOT KNOW JESUS peroid , EVEN IF I SAID I DID .
THE POWER of GOD is unlike anything this mere wee thing has ever experienced .
FOR NOT ONLY DOES IT SAVE , IT CHANGES .
NOW FLEE ELLEN WHITE FOREVER . and never look back . AND i aint just picking on you , i say flee rome and many other denominiations
where men have laid their rules and their foundation . AND COME TO JESUS . OH , you gotta let me praise GOD on what i say next ,
COME TO JESUS , to the GLORIOUS KING and be forever changed . Not by men or by the minds of men , BUT BY GOD
and HIS SPIRIT and HIS EVERY WORD . I have never found anything so pure as that . GLORY TO GOD .
I shun the all inclusive lie to hell . But i never said , nor do i say now , that i shun the people to hell .
JUST the doctrines . ELLEN white is bad news , no matter how much truth she may have also said at times .
FLEE HER . ROME is bad news no matter if it says truths , FLEE ROME . AND our protestant churches , MOST Of them , BUT NOT ALL
flee . WE ARE IN TROUBLE . But this wee thing has come to do all i can , BY GRACE , take note i said by grace for i am nothing ,
TO try and help anyone i can . GOD did for me , what no man could , not even myself . HE PUT HIS LOVE IN MY HEART .
AND THAT LOVE IS A LOVE FOR TRUTH , HOLINESS and RIGHTEOUNESS and A LOVE for the brethren .
Even a love for those who hate me most . BUT that love , WILL CORRECT . IT DOES SO out of a great desire and hope for all .
THE LORD is amazing . AND ITS TIME WE LEARNED HIM . OPEN BIBLES and read for yourself and pray to GOD . HE is full
of mercy and desires not the death of one . BUT BE WARNED , if we choose the lies of men over HIM , WE WILL DIE IN OUR SINS .
Do you recall Peter's words to Jesus adc, the evening of his betrayal?

Umm, gee, do you think political parties would mean anything in the wake of the scenario I have suggested?!! They, like all truly unimportant things, would practically cease to exist.
When the Dems take control all Hell will break loose! They may indeed drop the Dem name and show everyone what they really intend, to destroy America, Christians and Israel.

Scenario:

A massive, catastrophic disaster brought about by natural causes has struck the earth. Hundreds of millions have been killed or severely injured and every part of the world has been impacted to no small degree. The powers that be are now united, as will often happen under these circumstances, and have reached the consensus that we have angered God to an amount we never thought possible, and that some gesture of repentance must be made to Him. Since it has been suggested before by the religious figures of the west so many times and is practical enough to be feasible a national Sunday law is urged and passed, but the disaster and suffering continue, so the rest of the world decides to follow the lead of the U.S. and now the observance of Sunday as a day of rest and worship is world-wide. This "revival" produces very little real reformation. Hearts are not truly changed. It is very quickly apparent that some religious minorities will not cooperate with the new laws and continue to keep a different day of rest and worship. Some people have reported miracles in response to the new laws and a few have even been caught on camera. Yet the minorities remain stubborn in their positions. A call goes out to prescribe severe penalties against the offenders who refuse to violate their consciences, while the dead and dying steadily increase.

Upon what side of the issue would you find yourself?

You sound Muslim for some reason. Who gets to decide what religion is for everyone?

And BTW we are already suffering religious persecution in the USA.

No one has really picked up on this, but Communist Bernie Sanders -- who was allowed to run as a Democrat -- was the real winner among the Democratic contenders. However, because he is a Communist (who tries to deceive the world by saying he is a Socialist) the Democratic Party pushed him aside (probably paid him off as before when he ran against Clinton) and replaced him with a totally dysfunctional person -- Joe Biden -- who does not even know whether he is coming or going.

But no one in the media is telling the public that Biden is JUST A TROJAN HORSE. The real enemy of America is Kamala Harris, who will elbow Biden aside very quickly, declare him incompetent, and then do everything in her power to wreck America totally, while attacking Christians and Israel (as well as all things righteous).

The media networks have betrayed America daily by promoting lies, and suppressing the truth. They should have been at the forefront for calling out the Democrats, and clamoring that Biden be replaced immediately. But they are a part of the Leftist conspiracy to destroy America.

Getting back to the OP, if the Democrats were to take control, they would use the system to attack and destroy Christians, burn down churches and Bibles, and encourage Satan worship.

If Biden wins, which I doubt he will, I think the Dems will dump him almost immediately for Commie Kamala. The Dems know every dirty trick!

Religious persecution is inherent in the mental health system in the U.S.

There are three tenets in psychology that are specifically geared against the church.

You will be given a more severe diagnosis if under observation you exhibit:

1) religious preoccupation: a heeding of Psalms 1 and 1 Peter 2:1-3.

2) persecution complex: a believing of Matthew 5:10-12, Luke 6:22, and/or 2 Timothy 3:10-12.

3) mania: a watching and waiting for the Lord's return (having "abnormal" sleeping patterns because of it); as we are mandated in Mark 13:35-37, Revelation 3:3, and Psalms 119:62, Psalms 119:147-148, and 2 Corinthians 6:5, 2 Corinthians 11:27..

This all has to do with the lie that has been forged against believers, spoken of and prophesied in Psalms 119:69.

Exactly. No one has to be killed, hunted down to face persecution. The idea that in order to face persecution religion has to be outlawed, hunted down or killed is a myth.

I'm reminded of Catholic services not be lawful to offer adoption services anymore thru the state, since they don't allow homosexual adoption parents. And the wedding services made unlawful to discriminate against homosexuals. It appears they took religion out of business and made it unlawful to engage in Christian practices. Wedding services would be business, I'm not sure what Catholic adoption agencies would fall under, not business but family practices that are governed by courts. So maybe they took Christian practices out of courts and business? At least in respect to the anti-homosexual practices that Christians adhere to.

God couldn’t care less about what day you worship....
We Strong Christians who are not “ weak” know that God’s True Sabbath is manifested by worshipping God every day of the week ....God wants us to REST or “ Sabbath” in the Finished Work Of The Cross....pray that God grant you the Power and Wisdom to abandon the Baby’s Table and get you some “ Meat” over here at the adult table....

I suppose the command not to covet is finished at the cross also and we need to pray for power and wisdom to abandon the baby's table and get some meat over at the adults table.

The imposition of godless 'morals' on Catholic businesses, schools and charities is an ongoing legal battle to be sure..
How much the dems hatred of the Catholic Church fuels their persecution of all Christians will likely be on display as they challenge the latest supreme court nominee...

Yes indeed .
Anyone in any religion that is deemed very worldy and goes with the traditions and changes of the world , will be deemed civil ones
But anyone who puts God first , the biblical Jesus , one who is focused on the things of God and not conforming to the world
Will be deemed as a potential terroist . Mark those words well .
Whoever does not mold into this peaceful all inclusive mold of a religion and mindset
but rather clings to their way , aka JESUS , as being the only way and cling to HIS sayings
will be deemed as a dangerous fundamentalist .
There was a few more things i saw on that list of what deems one as a potential terroist .
ALSO if they beleive that the book of revelations contains end time prophecies
and they take the mark to be literal .
Also if they believe there is a dire need to witness the gosple to others , to evangelize the gosple or they call it prolesytize .
When i read this list that makes one a possible , or as they say potential terriost , i knew it
was a set up against the true biblical christains .
See they have something know as pro longed dentention .
Under this if anyone is even deemed as a potential terroist they can be rouned up , even if they are not a known terrorist
nor have done any wrong . They can be held for as long as it takes a committe to determine whether they are safe
to release back into society . THIS is all a set up .
I also looked a few years back at who , in america was considered a potential terrroist .
Number seven on that list was extremist muslims .
But number ONE on that list , was EVANGELICAL Christains . gee , ponder on that fora bit .

I agree, non-Christians have infiltrated the legal system, politics and schools leaderships. I really would like to see that change.
