Re: Christian Persecution increasing
Are these real Christians, or what kind? The article didn't say.

Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God

Re: Christian Persecution increasing
Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord!' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the person who does what my Father in heaven wants.
You happily put up with whatever anyone tells you, even if they preach a different Jesus than the one we preach, or a different kind of Spirit than the one you received, or a different kind of gospel than the one you believed.

You happily condemn anyone to hell who doesn't believe like you.
Who exactly is saved in your opinion? You don't even attend a church. I'm starting to have concerns about you. Are you saved? If so why are you so angry at other Christians?

Re: Christian Persecution increasing
A "Christian" is a "Christian", regardless as to if their understanding is entirely correct, complete, or not. Now, not all who are "Christians" are born of the water and Spirit (born again). God knows who are His. And let's face it, rather these are born again Christians or not isn't the point. These are people being put to death on account of their faith, allegiance, or appreciation of Christ. It is Jesus, and anyone who has any measure of faith in Him, who is truly being persecuted.

Aquila... it's "whether", not " rather". I've tried not to say anything, but it just bugs me.
