Time to stand up and fight if your a real christian

But @Gregoryp you have a problem for you walk contrary to the word of God
Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful;
24 and let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works,
25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

KJ21 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as ye see the Day approaching.
ERV We must not quit meeting together, as some are doing. No, we need to keep on encouraging each other. This becomes more and more important as you see the Day getting closer.
Phillips And let us not hold aloof from our church meetings, as some do. Let us do all we can to help one another’s faith, and this the more earnestly as we see the final day drawing ever nearer.
 
Here's a Newsweek Article dated May 11th on this case.

UK Chaplain Sues College For Discrimination After His Dismissal For a Sermon Questioning LGBT Policy (newsweek.com)

The day has arrived, as it should; where a Christian must decide who they will follow, even when one is in what would be believed was a secure place for Christian thought/practice, as in Trent College, Protestant and evangelical Church of England school! Sadly, this is not the case.

With the Love of Christ Jesus, let us stay in prayer for each other, that we may stand no matter what we are confronted with in these ever darkening days.

The world, the flesh, and the devil are in constant attack mode. They will not give up or give in until they are fully defeated. I pray all that are in Christ Jesus are strengthened by the power of the Holy Spirit, and that those lost will come to repentance and faith. And we must remember daily to put on the WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD and do all to stand against that which we wrestle. In your precious name, oh Lord. Amen.

Amen Brother!
Amen and Amen for we wrestle not against flesh and blood but Principalities and Dark Evil Forces of all kinds for the Devil Walk about like a roaring Lion seeking whom he may Devour. In Other words we must take up our Shield of Faith Sword and the Word to defeat and wound the Devil and His Agents and human helpers. I face many trials and tribulation at the point of giving up but God lifted me up and saved me from the Pits of Hell. And to God I am thankful he felt in his heart to have mercy upon me and save my Soul. And if it came down to giving my Life for the Lord I would in a blink of a eye.
 
The winners and loosers of wars go through ebbs and tides . We are in a spiritual war. The war that has raged from the Garden to today... We think things are bad today . We are not yet being fed to the lions, in the physical sense. Too many American Christians rolled over played dead waiting for rapture we did not octuply, we took the cowards way out. We American Christians stepped aside giving our home land over to satan.. He took a bit of this some of that . We let the churches duty of caring for the widows and fatherless over to government again the easy way out. We use public schools to raise our kids. ( dont one more adult tell me the kids need to be the salt of the earth) We were to train our kids up the way they should go we failed . So we are now in an ebb. The gospel through out history has surged gone through time of brilliance there was the dark ages the reformation . All is not lost we are children of the King the same King who had David kill the giant of his day. The same King who made it rain. The same King of the Exodus . The same King who walk in the furnace with thee guys
Dan 3:16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.
Dan 3:17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. The same King who fell the walls of Jerico . Mal_3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

it is getting much worse by the day. make every effort to have a strong personal relationship with Jesus and live in a Godly manner. The governments of the world are not your friends, they are your enemy. Treat them accordingly.
 
I agree it is getting bad but our Lord is not a failure. I expect, maybe not in my life time , to see a revivel . So many things are better today then yesteryear. Medical advances. Quality of life. Nice to have inside bathrooms. The good side of the internet. Love having a Bible on line, searchable so simple to share.
 
I thought christians are suppose to turn the cheek and not to take or sue one another in court? and if you are right and they are wrong , you are supposed to let yourselves Be Cheated. or Wronged!

" But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you."

English Standard Version
To have lawsuits at all with one another is already a defeat for you. Why not rather suffer wrong? Why not rather be defrauded?

Berean Study Bible
The very fact that you have lawsuits among you means that you are thoroughly defeated already. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated?

A lot of Christians always got excuses and escape Clauses, to get around "The Word of GOD" for their own selfish convenience. "Loop Holes" :eyes:

I'm right. now I ain't no christian.

I cannot believe, he said, that he would have never believe, that he would get kick out! I think he needs to read his Bible again:eyes: They called Jesus a "Terrorist" Jesus cause "Riots" he was a Trouble maker! He confused the people. They threw Him out of "His own Town, and Synagogue and He didn't have dime in His pocket, and kick His Mama out with HIM!

These leaders are not reading their Bibles. They didn't understand; "Count the COST"! They should have read; "DIETRICH BONHOEFFER" "The Cost of Discipleship" before they left. Jesus said: come see where I dwell.

On this Journey, Pilgrimage, you are never going to know what will happen to you.:pensive: scary. From one town to another. rough road.

For we the "sons of GOD" we know where we are at. Most christian think they should rule this world and the world should bow to them, and take whole to their ethics. You can not ram your ethics down the worlds throat. That Job is left for Jesus, and He is going to set up HIS KINGDOM and Rule it with "IRON SCEPTER" , because that is what it is going to take, "Kumbaya"

Christianity is not a sweet journey. Yes, when you are a child or a little kid. It is demanded you must grow up! Life is not cotton candy, Barbie dolls, streets are dangerous, you must look both ways! You have to chew meat careful and slow. and not only do you not take candy from strangers. you must keep your eyes on your friends and your instructor and Boss! Not only, do you come out of the rain, sometimes you have to come out from under the SUN!
For following Jesus will get you killed! A known fact! You have enemies everywhere! He sends you out among "WOLVES", wolves hunts in packs!
He commands you to be "Wise as Serpents and Harmless as a DOVE" And you will get Bitten, you might not die, but you will feel the Pain.
The "Sons of GOD", Babes, and The Children of GOD. some in the English translations have different meaning. When you come to age, You run among the "WOLVES". "When the Eagle Stirs The Nest". you are going to have to Flap your Wings! that pup has a strong Bark as long as His Mama and Daddy is around! :sob: "Bumble Bees" "Boring Holes and never making no Honey" Bussing around making a lot of noise, Bussing, I know, I know I know!:sob:
Many are going to find out, when that Eagle kick them out of that nest!

You think you are a believer now, wait until your faith INCREASE ! LOL Just wait, just wait.:sob: It will increase! And you won't be "Speaking in Tongues"!
 
The Timex Time, You got to "Take a Licking and keep on Ticking", I stop buying "Seiko" watches a long time ago and went back to "Timex"!

The (idiomatic). "TO BE TOUGH; to have endurance; to have the capacity to absorb stress or damage, but still be able to function"
Now do that sound Familiar ?It is "Timex Time".

We must warn them, the Road is going to be Tough, and Rough Sails before them, and all Hands, must be on Deck!

Refuse to be complacent. As our life blood pumps, trudge ahead through thick muck and mire, through sweltering heat and frezzing cold, up sandy hills and through the dense jungle's growth, through skirmishes and battles hand to hand, until the war is won or my unit is spent. Never give in. Never give up. Strengthen me, oh Lord, as I stand on the firm foundation of your excellent WORD and your unwavering promises. In Jesus's mighty and Holy name. Amen.
 
Dear Brothers, @PloughBoy @JerryfromMass
I do believe you both are on the same page and my reasoning for this that comes to mind is a story concerning Paul and his encounter against one who was actively against the faith which I will present below.

Now when they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew whose name [was] Bar-Jesus, who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. This man called for Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God. But Elymas the sorcerer (for so his name is translated) withstood them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith. Then Saul, who also [is called] Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him and said, "O full of all deceit and all fraud, [you] son of the devil, [you] enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease perverting the straight ways of the Lord? "And now, indeed, the hand of the Lord [is] upon you, and you shall be blind, not seeing the sun for a time." And immediately a dark mist fell on him, and he went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand. Acts 13:6-11 NKJV

The differences in this and the instances where Apostle Paul was attacked, abused, and yet did not call down fire from Heaven to fall upon those lost souls is also evident and should be noted. Understanding the difference between those who side with the opposition because they are just ignorant/blinded, verses those who like the sorcerer in the story above who knowingly go against the Children of God requires discernment so that we don't harm the presentation of the Gospel and the increase of the Kingdom of God.

The need to listen to the Holy Spirit at all times if one is to walk the path chosen for us as a Warrior in God's Service is truly a necessity or one might do greater harm then good, even with the most sincere of intentions. That is why our Lords words to John and James should be stamped upon the souls of all believers who seek to be on a path of confronting the evils of the World that are presented through the acts of man "For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives but to save [them]."... Luke 9:56 NKJV

That you both may know. I have little joys in this life, but you both are included in them.
God bless.
With the Love of Christ Jesus.

Okay, brother. Point taken. I extend my apologies to any and all I may have offended with the coarse nature of my discourse and beg your forgiveness. Peace and blessings to all.

I thought you might have served in the Armed services, by your quote. I have no hard feelings to those who served or have served. They have burdens too. I have spoke to some and listen as they poured their hearts out.:pensive::pensive::pensive:

Dear Brother,
Apology accepted but at least on my part was unnecessary.
The nature of your discourse would not have offended those who know the Word of God, and also the enemy who has no qualms about using any means necessary to turn the Children of God from the Victory they have in Jesus! The Apostle Peter was of such character, and no shame to be compared to brother. :)

With the Love of Christ Jesus.

Isaiah 25:8
He will swallow up death forever. The Lord GOD will wipe away the tears from every face and remove the disgrace of His people from the whole earth. For the LORD has spoken.
thats all very well my friend, but I will not stand idly by in the high street whilst there is a gay pride march travelling down the street, here me ROAR in dissaproval! Sin and men with evil intentions must be called out and rebuked, obviously with the guidance of the holy spirit.
