Friend
Actually I meant this post to encourage others when they are persecuted and hated for Jesus name sake. I do not consider my self a victim at all by any means. I give God Glory for it!
As it is written AC 5:41 The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name.
We should always rejoice when we are hated, and persecuted for Jesus name.
And as it is written: MT 5:12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
And as it is written: MT 5:10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
I guess you may have misunderstood the intent and meanings of this posting. And I have learned of different ways of introducing the Gospel that is highly biblical.
I tried to show others, no matter how much they are persecuted, hated or mistreated, that they still have victory is Jesus Christ.
Jesus, the disciples and others have been mocked, falsely accused, killed and so fourth for spreading of the Gospel and this goes on into todays socieity as well.
This posting was meant to encourage others that had their relatives, friends and so fourth that turn thier backs on them to be over comers and keep a stiff upper chin.
I know most today does not understand about being persecuted in todays times, because it is a fact that only 2% of Christians share their faith with the lost.
Mostly because they are either afraid or just do not know how, or they just do not care.
