There is not persicution of Christianity so long as you don't practice it. Look around, who trully follows the Christian faith? Sure people claim belief in Jesus but do the know Him or know of Him? Everyone knows of Jesus in their own way, but there is the problem "their own way". There are abortion supporter who know of Jesus, how about the gays who know of Jesus, or polititions who know of Jesus, even demons know of Jesus, but do any of them know Him personally? Not really. How can you know Jesus? The Bible and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, thats how. But be warned, you will be persicuted if you know Jesus and are a true Christian.

Of course, only your interpretation of the bible is correct, and everyone else is wrong.

The only "persicution" I see against Christians in this country is aimed toward those who would force their narrow and bigoted views on the rest of us.

Judge not, lest ye be judged yourself....I think we can leave it up to God as to who are the "true Christians." I don't think it has anything to do with what denomination of church you attend, or which Bible translation you prefer...

And I suppose you are a "true" Christian right?

And you came to that conclusion how?

Jesus tell you?

Still missing the point. No judging just making a point.

What is it that you want? Want us to list how we are being persecuted? What if things are going pretty well for us...we are healthy, financially stable, kids are doing great, spiritually growing....not a bit of persecution in sight. Granted, some of that is due to a good attitude. We are to give thanks in all things, not wail in the streets and cry 'PERSECUTION' when things don't go our way. I guess I don't think much about being persecuted....the people who do seem to be continually miserable and I don't see a Biblical justification for that sort of attitude.

This thread is truly disgusting. The other day a friend of mine posted something on Facebook about how it wasn't cool to "attack Christians". I sent her a message and told her that the majority of Christians who are attacked/persecuted are attacked and persecuted by other Christians!

So you think you know it all? What goes on in everyone who claims to be Christians' heads? You think you determine who's right and wrong? You come across as an attacker, a finger pointer, and someone who has a big axe to grind.
