SDAs clearly present a view of the future that includes the prediction that even Christians will become "intolerant" of other Christian views to the point of "Thought police" tactics against even other Christians who do not share their views.

But what about today? Are there areas of Christian discussion (not CF of course - not joking here) - where if you "think to yourself" that the prediction that in the future intolerance will arise is a true prediction - and you can be coaxed into admitting "you think that" - you can be banned?

Yes!

Absolutely YES! that is a reality today.

==================================

Thought-police will see you condemned/banned/refused-employment for "having religious thoughts" that they do not approve. In one case it has to do with predicting that in the future intolerance will arise.

But in other cases - like Pompeo Senate Confirmation hearing - the candidate is hammered for "having negative thoughts" that LGBT agenda and relationships are not the best.

The idea being that Pompeo should not have employment as CIA director if he "has those thoughts" or does not "shut down the thoughts of others" who dare to express their thoughts.

=========================================

From: California Introduces 'Dangerous Bill' That Would Make It Illegal for Christians to Counsel LGBTQ Adults

California LGBTQ activists have introduced a bill that would make it illegal for Christians to provide biblically based counseling for those wanting to get help for unwanted same-sex attractions.

Assemblyman Evan Low's bill, AB 2943, states that "advertising, offering to engage in, or engaging in sexual orientation change efforts with an individual" is illegal under state's consumer fraud law.

This comes six years after the state deemed it illegal for minors to receive counseling for same-sex attraction, even if they and their parents wanted help.

========================

So now back to the opening comment - the fact that SDAs predict that in the future religious intolerance would arise over the subject of the 4th commandment - is a "thought" such that 'if you think it' -- then you must be banned.... is present in reality on some Christian forums today... (But not on this one and not on all of them... still there are a few out there even today).

Why not here too? Are we afraid of being banned for what everyone here knows? What we have to remember is not everyone who claims to know Jesus actually does... they might use that title just to come into an area to taunt us without reproach?

But I was on another forum named the same but .org ? I think and it was an 'eat Christians alive" type atmosphere still.

Life is. End times are. I'm beginning to trust no one.

Suppose someone here who when pointedly question by another board member would say "ok yes - if you insist on me saying it.. then yes I do think this event or that event will happen in the future and you are free to predict a different future.. time will tell who is right"

---and then CF admins say "fine then you are banned for thinking that... for daring to admit when coaxed that you have that thought about what will happen in the future".

That does not happen on this board at all

But you make some good points.

1. Not everyone who claims to be Christian actually is.
2. We are in the end times.
