RCMP blocks drive-in church service from happening in Manitoba

[Christ4Ever]

The amazing part about this, is it's a Drive in Service, where people stay in their cars! You're coming into contact with anyone you haven't already come into contact with.
If you haven't realized it yet, the governments of the world have no love for believers, and the message they are communicating.

love those accents,,,,,,,,,yes Persecution is coming to us, the real question,,,,,, we need to ask ourselfs,,,,,, will we consider is a honor and a JOY ?

 

[Brad Huber]

Well Dave, honestly I am not at the level where I consider persecution an honor and joy. If you do, then good for you. God made me to be a spiritual warrior, and to see others suffer for their faith gets my ire.

 

[Hekuran]

But it's not persecution. Christians are not being singled out. It's all public gatherings that have been put into lockdown, no matter the cause or religion.

It might be fair to say that the authorities have made a poor judgement in any particular case, but to call it persecution is to diminish the experience of the millions of Christians worldwide who face real suffering for their faith.

Hey brother it is a question I ask myself its in the bible, I am trying to get to that level, but I dont think anyone knows if they are their at that level until it actually comes but I think we are called to be at that level. we are told to endure to the end, and to consider it a joy to suffer for Christ.

Persecution is the systematic mistreatment of an individual or group by another individual or group,

I hear what you saying and and praise these saints who facing violent attacks because of there faith,

Yet why the accusing tone with me???

,,as I NEVER did say they were being persecuted, I said it was coming, we must read the signs, it written all over the walls, here in america its coming,

You wouldnt understand Hekuran. I wont argue the point with you, I have seen that its pointless. But one day One greater than I will show you every detail you are missing. And as I said, I "wont" argue the point with you.

Sorry. I didn't mean to sound accusatory. Just wanting to keep a proper perspective on what is and is not persecution.

Societies like the US and UK may be less accommodating to the gospel, but we are a long way from being persecuted.

I do not know anything about the UK but I can testify to the fact Christian churches are being targeted here in the usa and it will get much worst, they allow strip clubs and liquer stores to be open in some cities but not churches. they are using this cvoid thing as a way to gain power, the world will be a difernt place very soon. If you dont see the things coming, I dont know what to say, with out sounding insulting, but Jesus warned us clearly about the signs and they are all around us.

I have a brother who is a street preacher who has been beaten up for spreading the gospel, all since the BLM started,

I saw a women recently being taunted by a mob for her christian beliefs,

 

[Brad Huber]

Physically speaking, there is not as much persecution of christians here in the US versus many other places, like India, or china, or muslim controlled areas. Here, the persecution is still soft pedal, so as not to get the ire up in those in power (who even pretend to care) who are half asleep as to being aware of such things as rarely are brought to their attention by a media that snides at the least, at christian injustice.

I guess this is the same story from a diff source.

Canadian Police Use 'Fear-Mongering Tactic' After Blocking Church Members from Attending Drive-In Services

Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers prevented a church from holding a drive-in worship service by blocking the entrance with their squad cars.

@Brad Huber -- it would have been tempting for all those cars being blocked to turn on a Christian radio station up Really loud so it could be heard -- Praise and Worship music heard stereo - style.

One church in Colorado arranged for all church members to stay in their cars in the parking lot and turn to a particular radio station to listen to the service / music. They were parking distanced but they could see each other.

 

[Dave M]

I know cananda recently imprisoned 2 pastors for preaching against homosexuality, what we have to realize is this is all demonic,

 

[Sue D.]

@Dave M -- our pastor had been asked how we would react with his preaching if he saw an obvious same-sex couple in the congregation. Pastor normally taught a series of sermons -- rather than 'landing' on a verse for a sermon.

He made it a point to Not preach Against any particular activity / action that was being practiced in society. But he Would preach the book of Romans -- especially the 1st several chapters with No hesitancy. And that is a passage hitting homosexuality very directly.

Everyone knew that Pastor taught Scripture and not social issues.

He preached a series on end time events. The need for each person to realize their need for salvation and accepting Jesus Christ as their personal Savior.

And he Also made it a point to greet everyone -- as did his wife -- before church. He wanted us to be a church Family, not simply a congregation. As they noticed visitors -- he took time to introduce himself and make them feel at home.

The community knows the stand of the various churches in their areas. And chances are 'they' will probably Not attend a church that teaches Biblical morals / ethics -- but the Might attend a church just to see how church people Will react towards them. Same-sex couples have been known to sit in a place where their actions will be seen by most everyone. They Might just act too friendly just to see if they will get a negative reaction from the people sitting around them.

There Will be increasing pressure to be argumentative about some up-coming situations in this country. But arguing won't be accomplishing any positive. And a lot has to do with How Scripture is being presented.
