"Persecution" for self-preservation is not related in any way to persecution for righteousness' sake .. ie, His Name's sake!

For instance, attacking the social-political removal of prayer from school as a cause of increase of crime / violence / etc in schools is superficial and a straw man argument .. an attempt to place the blame on others (especially the ungodly) rather than taking responsibility for what we are / are not doing in accordance with God's will.

Demanding personal "rights" is not an act of righteousness for His Name's sake. Protecting one's personal rights is an act of self-preservation.

The work of the Kingdom has NEVER been authorized to work in the political system, nor through ruling by theonomy over the ungodly.

The Kingdom CANNOT operate in any context of "majority rule". The Kingdom operates under the sole rule and reign of God. The Kingdom Law relates only to those who have entered INTO the Kingdom.

BECAUSE, those outside the Kingdom are already condemned by their refusal to submit to God .. open rebellion. AND, God NEVER forces the unrighteous to live according to His Law .. His Law is for His people .. THEREFORE, we know that we as followers of Jesus are not authorized to force the standard of righteousness upon the unrighteous either. hmmmmmmmmmmm

The Prophet Micah reminds us what God says is good, and what HE requires of His people:

1) DO justice (rather than demanding justice for ourselves).

2) LOVE mercy (rather than demanding vengeance and retribution for those who have harmed us).

3) Walk humbly (dependent, teachable, submitted) before God. Micah 6.8



I've been told by good friends to stop rocking the boat .. to stop "criticizing" churchianity, etc. Actually, considering some of the messes I've gotten myself and people I love into by criticizing real abusers, perhaps it is good advice. But, the "reasoning" leaves me cold. I'm told that if a church has a 100 members, there must be some good there .. people must be receiving something that they keep going back for.

OK .. on the human level I agree, to a point. BUT, when Jesus taught something very different for God's people, and when His message is NOT getting out due to doctrines and traditions and abusive authoritarianism .. what real good are those people receiving?

If we don't proclaim what Jesus teaches, and show how the false and partly false does not measure up to His Message, then ... don't we have any responsibility? I don't know. I'm getting tired. I'm tired of the same old passivity and habitual Christianity being passed off as the real thing. But, I'm also very tired of the abuse of religious Christians. They are full of "it" and of themselves and they have all these twisted ways to defend themselves using "scripture". halleluia anyhow!
