you can walk down the street with a large-print King James Bible in full sight, and about the worst that will happen is, somebody may roll their eyes and call you a holy joe. Do that in China, and alot of other places, and you're looking at job-loss and jail-time. And here in America, those Bible-based principles still stand - our prisoners have access to clean clothing, warm blankets, decent food and medical care. Not really so, in many other nations - especially those nations where they worship weird-looking images (can ya spell "devils?").
But in the New Testament, we are warned that if you for-real believe on Jesus, you will be persecuted. So, how are the saints in America being persecuted? The Bible doesn't give the month and year this will happen, nor does the Bible specify from whom the drama will come. Or how much, how long the saint will be hassled.
But i know this. The New Testament describes life in general during these last days, when men will become lovers of self. And women can be every bit as tyrannical to their families. Even lost people are looking around and wondering what's with all the narcs? It's like they're everywhere!
Well guess what! Narcs are in the churches...safer for narcoid to run his or her game there, than in some smokey barroom. Godda hand it to church-house narcs - they play expertly...the pharisees are still among us. The sort of people who preach marriage permanence, family values...then go home and treat their spouse and kids like garbage.
No wonder people walk away from the church-house, never to return.
