Dear Bob: If you think the world hates Jews who are separated and estranged from God, and whom someone corrected me on this thread about Israel being an antichrist nation without the saving grace of Christ; then imagine how much more Christians are hated. However once in the midst of dispair and lament after having been persecuted, it was like the Holy spirit telling me not to flatter myself too much in that the real object of the hate is always Christ. The "acid test" in our lives should be suffering for Christ. If we are not willing to suffer a little for him then to me His suffering was in vain. Jane, on this thread had a man last week post a dehumanizing message to her then erase it. Jane , count it all for joy, it shows you are being effective, Praise God. !! Anyone who has witnessed, knows what I mean, a door slammed in the face, getting cussed out, or just the repetion of hearing over and over, " I don,t need Jesus to pray to God, I can't believe in the exclusitivity of reaching God that you are telling me about, how can a loving God sent anyone to hell, who was Jesus ?, you are trying to tell me what, that some man that lived 2000 years ago died for my sins.. get the blank blank out of here, or I'll start coming to church when my boyfriend moves out, miss I'm not here to tell you your boyfriend should move out, I'm here to tell you about Jesus, I'd like to get saved but I need to stop smoking and drinking first, sir Jesus will save you with a six pack under one arm and a carton of Winstons under the other.. forgive me.. you get the point..Love you in Christ...gregor
