Christianity is the purest form of Satan worship. In fact, Satan's name is Christian. Satan has always wanted to be God and thru Jesus, Satan is worshipped as God. The NT is the doctrine of Satan. "...behold; my desire is, that the Almighty would answer me, and that mine adversary had written a book". Job 31:35. Satan means "adversary". Christianity will survive until the death of the true Messiah. The final judgment in the "valley of Jehoshaphat" will affect all remaining idolaters, mainly Christians. It is also called the "valley of decision". Joel 3. Salvation will come down to belief at the end. Jesus has been reincarnated and he, as well as all of his remaining followers, will spontaneously combust at the time of the resurrection. Ezekiel 28:18-19. "...and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be anymore". Zechariah 14:12. "...And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people who have fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth".

How long will I be allowed to remain a Christian?
Douglas MacKinnon
By Douglas MacKinnon | Fox News





“How long will I be allowed to remain a Christian?”

That was the deeply dismaying question posed to me by a friend with four young children as we discussed the plight of the Christian faith in America and around the world.

With each passing month, that shocking question becomes more relevant and even more disturbing.

To say that Christians and Christianity are under a withering and brutal attack in certain areas of the world would be an understatement.

In various parts of the Middle East, there is a genocidal cleansing of Christians being carried out. Women, men, and their young children are being slaughtered because of their faith and world leaders and most of the media turn their backs in bored indifference.

Here in the United States, Christians and Christianity are mocked, belittled, smeared and attacked by some on a daily basis. This is a bigoted practice that is not only increasing exponentially, but is being encouraged and sanctioned by a number on the left.

Too many of those who worship at the altar of political correctness have deemed that Christianity should no longer be respected. Rather, they assail it on a regular basis in a coordinated campaign to weaken the faith and its base.

The prevailing view in much of the media is that Christianity is aligned with Republicans, conservatives, or the views of President Trump – and therefore must be diminished and made suspect.

The New Yorker just described the opening of a few Chick-fil-A restaurants in New York City as “Pervasive Christian traditionalism,” and a “Creepy infiltration of New York City.”

Christianity is an “infiltration” to some on the left.

In college, they now teach about the evils of “Christian Privilege.” On Broadway and in theaters around the world, mocking Christians has become a massively profitable money-making venture.

In name, on the crucifix, and in art, Jesus Christ is desecrated in the most twisted and obscene of ways. In movies, on television and online, Christians are portrayed in the most dishonest, prejudiced and insulting of ways.

Across the country, Christian colleges are under constant assault from “social justice warriors” seeking to strip their accreditation and put them out of business.

Christian groups on campus are at times being persecuted, their offices and handouts vandalized, with members even being physically assaulted.

In a nation that is still majority Christian, those who follow the faith have been litigated or brow-beaten into being fearful to utter the words “Merry Christmas,” or to display a Nativity scene celebrating the one and only reason there is a Christmas Day.

Want to stay true to your Christian faith in the most innocuous and giving of ways?

To do so is becoming more perilous by the minute, when you stop to ponder just a sampling of the negative consequences. For example:

A high school football coach is fired for taking a knee in prayer. A teacher is fired for giving a Bible to a student who requested it. A Marine is cursed at and then court-martialed for not removing a Bible verse from her computer. Another Bible verse posted by sailors in a military hospital is labeled “extremism.”

For me personally, I continue to be ridiculed for writing and speaking about a vision I had regarding the 40 days after the resurrection.

If you are a practicing Christian in the United States and open about it, you, your congregation and your organization will become a target of some sort. It is only a matter of time.

Ironically, in some very real and ominous ways, it’s as if we are being transported back to ancient Rome.

Will we soon have to meet with fellow Christians in secret? Will we have to whisper our beliefs from the shadows? Will those Christians with “traditional” beliefs lose their jobs and livelihoods if discovered?

As more and more of the mainstream media, entertainment, academia and the hi-tech world continue to purge or discriminate against Christians, what future job fields will be open to young Christians?

Will those Christian children eventually be forced to renounce or deny their faith in order to get a job and provide for their families?

As a Christian, I truly do have the deepest respect for every faith. The vast majority of people of every faith are beyond good and do seek to follow the golden rule: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”

Why do so many on the left, in the media, entertainment and academia not practice that most simple, loving and humane of rules when it comes to the Christian faith?

No government or other group can stop one from being Christian or any other faith, as these are personal choices and not subject to censure. One does not have to "practice" one's religious rituals to remain faithful, nor does one's faith require validation or acknowledgment.

Sin is a purely religious concept. It has no standing under the law in this country. For example, under the Christian religion, simply calling one's fellow man a fool (or dumbass) is a sin and punishable by Hellfire!

Thankfully, the US government does not impose religious tests.

It does protect individual's human rights.

So, imagine homosexuality to be sin if you wish. It is not a crime, however. Touch yourself and enjoy imagining them roasting on a spit in Hell, if you must! What you do in private is your own business.

But know that some public behavior makes one seem petty and unattractive, as well as downright judgmental and mean spirited if one should champion the mistreatment of fellow humans, by supporting those who deny them fair public treatment.

Not very neighborly, nope.

Proverbs 1:7. "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction". Isaiah 52:5. "...and my name continually every day is blasphemed". Satan was the son of God. He is Adam the serpent and he has been reincarnated as the father of God. He is in the family of God, was created as the antithesis of God, and he is God's nemesis. He went to Heaven when he died to preserve his life. He is also responsible for the "crucifixion" of God and he will be tortured and executed with a razor sharp two-edged sword for it. Isaiah 27:1. "In that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea". Job 20:25. It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are upon him". Satan is the only one who will rot forever in Hell.

There were sure a lot of people who didn't want blacks in their restaurants, bathrooms, or drinking faucets.

How come a bigger majority of christians don't have a problem with gays than do? There is a difference between those that do, and those people also have a problem with other types of people too.

And that gay hating christian would be all butt hurt when the word goes out on social media and his business is hammered as a result. Then he becomes the persecuted christian.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.urbandictionary.com/define.php%3fterm=Pitybrag&amp=true

"Pitybrag
When a person brags about their own misfortune. Usually disguised as a complaint or told to a friend as if in confidence. What separates pitybragging from complaining or confiding, though, is that the speaker tells everyone who will listen and gets satisfaction from having the hardest luck in the room. Often, a listener can get roped into a competition with the pity bragger, but people who have endured real tragedy rarely participate."

I do not hate gays. HOWEVER, the sin that they blatantly practice without remorse is abhorrent.

And the reason "a bigger majority of christians don't have a problem with gays than do" is because they're apostate.
