Word of God labeled as hate speech

[BNR32FAN]

Is this a sign of things that are on its way to the United States? Our values are being rejected and we have already seen the beating of a street preacher and church vandalism right here on our soil. Other countries are already dealing with these issues and Christians aren't winning.

The war on Christianity is increasing at an alarming rate. Stay strong and trust in the Lord.

Well at the same time Christianity itself has been growing in number by leaps & bounds.

But why would Christians support candidates who want to suppress the practice of their religion? Tgats just hard for me to imagine when in our country, the opposite has been true - Christians being the dominant group and wanting to suppress other religions.

And I have known of a non-Christian, a Muslim, who was threatened by a Christian neighbor after 9-11. I drove her home from school for several weeks, and if her neighbor had tried something he would have had to deal with me.

You mean why would Christians vote for or support the Biden ticket? Or any Democrat candidate, as it is the Democrats whom are actively dedicated to suppressing if not destroying the practice of Christianity.

This is not true.

Untrue. I know of many dedicated Christians who are Democrats, and the Democrat Party here is certainly not working to destroy Christianity.

This is not true.

Then explain the incident I described earlier where one of my Muslim students was threatened by a Christian.

I couldn't find a condemnation of interracial marriages in my Bible.

Christians believe the Bible; therefore you will know them by their fruits if you know your Bible. People claim to be Christians; the proof is in their fruits.

 

[Aussie Pete]

why should they "shut up"?

Why should they actively and promote behaviours and attitudes that bring God's judgement? COVID19 is no coincidence. God judges by allowing human nature to run its course without His intervention. The human race is entirely dependent on God's mercy and grace. Ask anyone who lives in a drought prone country. Like me.

‘You are to keep My statutes. You shall not breed together two kinds of your cattle; you shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed, nor wear a garment upon you of two kinds of material mixed together.
— Leviticus 19:19

I knew a guy who used this verse. I was young and new in the faith, and so I didn’t challenge him. I wish now that I would have.

Except there are many Christians who are Democrats. Scripture doesn’t forbid a Christian being a Democrat.

I don't recall saying that Democrats are all non-Christians. My Bible doesn't mention Democrats.

 

[Rescued One]

There is nothing in scripture that forbids interracial marriage. However some, particularly in southern churches, pointed to Noah and the curse placed upon Ham, the claim being that he was the father of the black race. We know it is rubbish, but some believed it.

I am aware.

Have you also heard of William Branham and Joseph Smith and Brigham Young?

How do you know that the person who threatened was a Christian? Or if the Muslim was aggtrssive towards the non-Muslim. I've talked to a few Muslims and didn't threaten them.

 

[Rescued One]

Of course. What is your point?

To mention my understanding that some churches are or have been anti-racist. I am not the least bit anti-racist. Are you anti my beliefs and is it worth arguing about?

Not all Republicans are Christians either.

How do you know that the person who threatened was a Christian?

Actually he was a leader in a local church. I won’t say what denomination.

Or if the Muslim was aggtrssive towards the non-Muslim.

Do you remember 9-11? Most Muslims were trying their best to remain quiet. There were attacks on Muslims throughout the country. On any event this girl wouldn’t have threatened anyone. However, she wore a hijab which drew attention.

I've talked to a few Muslims and didn't threaten them.

That’s good.

Anti-racist? I presume that you mean that you are opposed to racism. If you have read what I have written then you know that I am as well. Perhaps you should go back and reread what I’ve written.

Not all Republicans are Christians either.

I never said that they were.

Fear shouldn't cause a Christian to threaten other people or to say hateful things.

Read my signature: Eph. 4:32.

Agreed. I never said it should.
