Persecution Complex

Islam pulled itself together sometime in the 7th century.  They have had 1300 years also.  They really are not that far behind and they have the advantage of modern weapons which the sackers of Magdeburg did not.

No argument here, the modern Muslims in the ME have the capability to make the 30 Years' War look like a walk in the park ... and the tribal culture to chase it down to the last bullet. I mean, look at what's going on in Yemen right now.

They have a tendency to blow things out of proportion real persecution is yet to come to this country but it will. For those who do believe we are being persecuted they listen to people who sensationalize things and then buy into it without real understanding real persecution, if they were to ever experience persecution they wouldn't be able to handle it in MHO.

So GC? You believe in a future persecution based on what? Persecution prophecies? Still, a persecution complex in my opinion.

Really the Bible has foretold many past events that have come to be true.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

RE: Persecution Complex
Since the bible probably isn't God's personal diary, anything written can be attributed to unknown said authors.
Including anything which may have coincidentally come to pass...

The point then becomes irrelevant either way...
The said authors ain't doing diddly squat about your immortality...why bother Dunno
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

People are individuals, and should be treated as such.  A 21st Century Christian isn't responsible for all acts of Christianity in the history of the religion.  That's just a dumb idea.

In the same vein, I don't feel responsible for atheism stuff in the USSR, slavery in the US, or whatever bullshit my ancestors were up to in yesteryear.  None of it has anything to do with me.

Its like with vulcan's other thread titled "hug a theist" where it starts of by talking about the horrible things theists of a long long time ago have done, as if it applies to us.

There were 796 bodies found in a septic tank in Tuam, Co Galway earlier this year. They were the last remains of children forcibly removed from their mothers and given to the catholic church to rear. The most recent deaths occurred less than 50 years ago.

You are, at best, gravely mistaken if you think your church isn't still evil. More likely, you're engaged in that venerated strategy knwn as lying for Jesus. Keep it up and you may be sainted.

I just know he's going to bring up the destruction of the temple of Solomon. Even though that wasn't prophesied in the bible until after the Romans pulled down.

This one happened in modern times, it's one you can't say was written after the event. Israel restored as a nation, it's the only nation to be restored after not existing for nearly 2000 years.

It's time you learned to go back and read post before assuming and making yourself look like an idiot. I never closed my account I was unable to log in on my old account so after some time I set up a new account and I could only do this because I purchased a new computer. I never tried to deceive anyone, I explained what I did to the whole forum and asked to keep my new user name when the admins said they would fix my old account. Next up for the idiot who want go and read recent comments I've made. I have never said I was being persecuted here or anywhere else. I've always stated that the people as a whole in the US are not persecuted. Now tell me how does it feel to be such a big idiot?

 Okay idiot it's time for a history lesson, Solomon's temple didn't even exist at the time of the Roman occupation, it had been destroyed long before there was a Roman Empire.

I would not consider that a prediction. More of a desire expressed in biblical times by a displaced people. Besides, modern day people making their claim to ancient "god given" land merely requires military might, not magic. Any others?

Says the man who knows fuck all about history (otherwise you wouldn't be fellating yhwh) or reading comprehension. The second temple was also known as the the temple of Solomon, because it was built on the supposed site and to the supposed dimensions of the alleged original.
