The church is God’s creation. It will never go away. It will never lose. These folks will die like everyone else does and no one will remember them. They will fade into obscurity. The church will co tinue whether persecuted or not. Jesus is building his church. True biblical Christianity servived and Rome fell. Christianity always continue while her detractors don’t. Yes they kill some, but God always has a witness in the earth.
I've seen that kind of fatalistic lets-just-lie-down-and-die mindset from many Christians, especially on this forum.
It's perverse. The notion that as Christians it's perfectly fine if we NEVER fight back and just stand by and let evil take its course is sickening.
I don't think Christians has historically been this passive. Didn't Christians launch the Crusades a few years back?
