There are Christian who are enemies of the Cross and they avoid Persecution at all costs & hide

[PloughBoy]

But GOD has said:

10“Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.11“Blessed are you when mencast insults at you, and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, on account of Me. 12“Rejoice, and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”

Todays Modern Day Christian’s are offended when they are insulted for name of Jesus! It makes one Wonder whether if they are working and serving JESUS or Trying to make a Name for themselves to be shining lights and well respected as a nice and wonderful
Christian so sweet and kind and Dainty in the community.

Oh what wonderful life I have in Christianity. So sweet and lovely I am. But do not upset them about their Beautiful Jesus and “THEIR CHURCH” and The JESUS whom the world hated who Tells half truths about Him but don’t tell the whole Truth about Him.

His real brothers and sisters thought Jesus was a “Lunatic” and every time he preach in Synagogue he had to “Hide” because the people was going to try to kill him! He better had heal them and fed them ! If he didn’t, they was going throw him off a cliff even in his own town!

I’m so glad we got the internet because they will throw some of us off a cliff too!

Who do he think he is, we know him his fornicating Mama, his daddy, and his brothers and sisters and never went to school where is he getting all of this learning????…Now he is walking around here claiming he is “The Messiah”! If you are The Messiah” get rid of those Romans and those “Tax Collectors” !

18For many walk, of whom I oftentold you, and now tell you even as I weep, that they are the enemiesof the cross of Christ, 19whose endis destruction, whose god is their[k]appetite, and whose glory is in their shame, who have their mindson earthly things. 20For our [l]citizenship is in heaven, from which we also EAGERLY wait for a SAVIOR,
[The Rapture]
the Lord Jesus Christ;21who will transform the body of our lowly condition into conformitywith [m]His glorious body, by the exertion of the power that He haseven to subject all things to Himself.”

As a reminder to all those Christians that are afraid, His disciples had deserted Him when He got arrested, and one of them betrayed Him !!!

Even though Judas Iscariot did not believe he would be forgiven to come back to Him, you can be forgiven and His remaining disciples did come back to Him and with His help later on in His ministry thru them, they had died for Him too.

Yes, there is nothing like “Half Truths” and those who “Proclaim Half Truths”!

Your quote:

1. a New covenant had not come into existence. For The Tester had Not died!
For The “Parakletos” had not come yet! For JESUS had not “Ascended” Yet, in order to “Send Him, To Earth and “The Parakletos” would arrive, He would Empower Them To be a witness [a A MARTYR], Facing Death Fearlessly, dying violent deaths! You must be “Empowered” by GOD to make a Stand for “GOD” and “His Christ”.

For Jesus The Christ of GOD said these words for our behalf!

NASB 1977
“While I was with them, I was keeping them in Thy name which Thou hast given Me; and I guarded them, and not one of them perished BUT the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

Jesus did not keep “Judas”, Jesus did not protect “Judas” like he protected the other disciples just like Jesus has stated by His own Mouth, So the Scriptures would be fulfilled!

It Was The Will of GOD the FATHER that “Judas” would betray JESUS, For This was The purpose and mission that “Judas” was born and came into The World to “Fulfill The Will of GOD!
And That Will was to Betray “The Son of The Living GOD”!

For this is “The WaY” and that is “The WAY” of The Cross “The Via Dolorosa”

American Standard Version
“Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial among you, which cometh upon you to prove you, as though a strange thing happened unto you:”

Let no man woman or angel “ROB” you of your pain and suffering in “Christ JESUS” for the suffering you endure in “Christ” is more valuable Than “Silver or GOLD”

This world will try to steal your pain and suffering in order to “ROB” you of your “JOY” that is only in The Suffering you receive in “Christ JESUS”!

They will try to convince that your suffering has No value now and The Life to come!

Some Churches and pastors and all kinds of Religious BOOkS is on a “War party” to rob you and still something that is so Precious to your Soul!

He is on a “War Path” bearing unholy gifts and temporary happiness that fades away that never come into “Eternity” but only by The Vehicle of Regret!

“Do Not Take Wooden nickels” For this world have a tray full of “Fool’s Gold” shining and bright and no tears Come with it, but it cannot come with you to The Grave! Nor can it purchase you an Attorney at “Final Destination”!

NASB 1977
“And behold, I am sending forth the promise of My Father upon you; but you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.”



NASB 1977
And gathering them together, He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father had promised, “Which,” He said, “you heard of from Me;
