>We are now witnesses to the criminalizing of Christianity

On television,
I "witnessed" the compound burn
in Waco, Texas . . .

That didn't happen
in Sweden. That happened here.
These are the End Times.

What happened in Waco hardly amounts to a criminalization of Christianity.

First, the Branch Davidian situation began as a tax and firearm dispute, not a religious dispute.

Second, the Branch Davidians weren't Christians.

You can believe that Jesus Christ is the Messiah or that David Koresh is the Messiah.

If you believe the latter, you're not a Christian.

These are the End Times.

According to the Scriptures, you're not privy to enough information to make such a definitive statement.

Although the appearance on the scene of a false Christ-imitator like Koresh is suggestive.

Waco had nothing to do with criminality of Christianity; if anything, David Koresh, was anti-Christian, a narcissistic false messiah. Waco is more properly characterized a bungled law enforcement execution of search and arrest warrants. If there was any unseemly motivation, it was more of an assault on the 2nd Amendment, but I am not sure I believe that. This was just a screw-up of the first order, they could have grabbed that guy on the street with no confrontation.
