Report: Unprecedented Rise in Hate Crimes against American Churches
New American Prophet ^ | May 11, 2023 | Raymond Ibrahim

Posted on 05/11/2023 8:45:46 AM PDT by Rev M. Bresciani

The Mar. 27, 2023 killings in Nashville—where a woman claiming to be a man (aka “transgender”) stormed a private Christian school and murdered three children and three adults—is just the spectacular tip of a growing but concealed iceberg.

The leftist demons hate Christianity and all things of the light.

These godless commies aren’t our ‘brothers’ and ‘sisters’ and we better start acting as such.

Guns aren’t the problem. Maggots burning down churches is the problem.

The spirit of antichrist is very busy preparing the world for THE Antichrist.

Principalities and Powers (dark forces) are finding many new opportunities thanks to the godless reprobate "leaders" found in many places around the world.



Acts 2:38
New King James Version

38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."

John 3:17-18
New King James Version

17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be Saved.

18 He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Romans 10:9-10
New King James Version

9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be Saved.

10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto Salvation.

Ephesians 6:12
King James Version

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

(Not read the article)

I don’t know how to view this.

Truth is so many, likely majority, churches are apostate now. I was just at one last week for our conference which had the full f ag flag out on the street and a banner chastising us that “Jesus never rejected anyone, neither should you”.

This is all over and increasingly a reason I don’t even bother to find a church around this liberal region.

So is this homo supporters mad at traditional Christianity, or is it conservatives lashing out at their apostasy?

More than a few have jumped on the June Pride Month bandwagon.

Therefore..........

My clergy members have been quoting Romans 13 about honoring and respecting those put in power over us. A prayer that’s been uttered in several worship services included references to our obligation to honor the government as having been established by God. Another argument was that countries aren’t enemies and political parties aren’t our enemies.

Both are comprised of fallen human beings who can be evil. Communist China is our enemy. The current Democrat party controlled by Marxists is our enemy. My minister is promoting what—pacifism in the face of evil? Submission? If you don’t fight back against evil, you acquiesce in it, you enable it.

Ephesians flat out says we are to be wrestling with principalities and “spiritual wickedness in high places.” “High places” include a government controlled by evil people.

Thanks for this biblical reference. I intend to use it to confront some of the morons in my church who like to quote scripture to shut you up.

Give them this one - pay close attention to the last sentence of the last verse

Matthew 13:37-38
New American Standard Bible 1995

37 And He said, “The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,

38 and the field is the world; and as for the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil one;

See here’s the thing….the few Orthodox we have? The closest (next to a restaurant we absolutely love) insists on doing a “multicultural” festival every year!

That turns me off right there. But not shocking given how horribly “liberal” this area is. They poison everything.

Orthodox multicultural festivals are usually different—and OK. They exist because not everyone is Greek, Serbian, or Russian. Maybe many are just plain American.

Check it out!

Oh no, I’ve seen it. Lots of Moslems there.

Our liberal area has welcomed them for a good while since 9/11.

Here’s an Orthodox multicultural festival that I would really love:

Lots of German Oktoberfest food, as well as Greek, Slavic, etc.

I often pray for the conversion of the muslims to Orthodox Christianity. If they come to our Churches for festivals, let God do the rest!
