Comments on: Persecution of Christians Growing in the United States http://www.worthynews.com/1710-persecution-of-christians-growing-in-the-united-states News from a Christian World view updated several times daily from around the world! Mon, 13 Feb 2012 06:12:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Believerofchristforever http://www.worthynews.com/1710-persecution-of-christians-growing-in-the-united-states/comment-page-1#comment-7071 Believerofchristforever Mon, 13 Feb 2012 06:12:00 +0000 http://www.worthynews.com/wordpress/?p=1710#comment-7071 Just a quick comment peoples. Christians are those that accept Jesus into their lives and ask God to help them live according to His will. Many people don't want to accept that and it's fine cause that's why God gave each one of us free will. There is no need to generalize about who is a Christian and who is not. When we die nothing will matter but ourselves, and God will hold us accountable for what we know and what has been warned to us. Now I see a lot of comments about useless stuff and I really believe that if you are posting atheist things here to call attention God will be the judge and if you are writing stuff to confuse others God knows your heart. So I recommend each one of ya'll reflect on what you believe and state your point of view and ask questions to those that know, but if you don't have anything important to say, don't say it.   Just a quick comment peoples.

Just because people call themselves Christians doesn't mean they are, so basically the United States is not really a Christian country! And btw just like anyone else Christians did make mistakes throughout history, we are all human beings with a sinful nature, but in reality it wasn't really Christians, but wolves dressed like sheep that sought an excuse to conquer, destroy and persecute others, and if you are gonna take something like "Christianity reaping of the seed it has sown" for biblical context, then get your facts straight and read the whole Bible. I hope that God opens your eyes to what is true before it's too late. God Bless You!   Being a Christian and being called a Christian is two different things.

I left the church years ago (no support and hypocrisy where I was going) and returned at the end of last year because someone approached me and said "I was searching for something."  I was but did not know what "it" was.  This man was a prophet and God told him to approach me.  I am back attending a wonderful church with genuine people and a super support group since all of us in society have hurts, hang-ups and habits.  How could anyone not be stressed of the state of the world in 2012?  I was even baptized last week as an adult in my choice of God.  I can give anyone my church's name and you can find a "sister" branch somewhere near where you live.  You just need an open mind and heart and will love it.  I wish people here who are Agnostic or Atheist could attend one time to my church and see how uplifting it is.   The 70% of Christians that you are noting are not attending any services/masses.  They claim statistically to be Christian but are not.  They may even be on church rosters as members but do not attend or tithe.  That percentage is grossly overstated.  Thanks for posting Cuthbert.

That's what gives 150000 christians every year the power to lay down their lives for Christ. Don't let satan steal the joy God has for you by letting him inject doubts and lies in your mind. Hold steadfast to the faith using the word of God as your sheild. Jesus will return for his church, and on that day I hope and pray to be able to greet you as a brother in Christ. 9ountry crock

And then there is the unseen world, the one that when you are amazed by beauty, or sorrow, or other extremis, that somehow blesses you, and you just know.  In "seen" form, He has already been here, and while it was a success in that our sins got obliterated if we can make the difficult/easy step of accepting Him, He still was not understood to be the Son of God by many. So it's likely that if God stood infront of you, you would not really "see" Him. What's he supposed to look like so you would be able to accept the concrete evidence of His existence ? Isn't the universe enough concrete evidence ? We are just worms. What do we know - and how can I tell you ?

He attacked, accusing me of being angry. Like your assertioins, his "angry" comment was presumptuous and simply incorrect.  He made an incorrect statement about my qualifications to critique, then when I stated part of my qualifications, he accused me of being angry.   Sorry, but even YOU must admit his comments are disconnected and not logical.

There are over 50 churches in the city I call home, and there are 11 radio stations broadcasting exclusively Christian messages (K-Love, Radio 74, BBN, Family Radio, EWTN). How does this information still disprove my point?
