Idiotic. By this logic a Christian should be just as happy in Venezuela or China. After all, you’re going to heaven ya know.
If you do not despair in the face of evil winning it is because you are friends with the world.
Real Christians are having a Job/Elijah moment.
“Idiotic. By this logic a Christian should be just as happy in Venezuela or China. After all, you’re going to heaven ya know.”
Yep, dumb. Real dumb.
“Idiotic. By this logic a Christian should be just as happy in Venezuela or China. After all, you’re going to heaven ya know.”
Well, yes, in the sense that the Christian is happier than his non-Christian neighbor. The Christian can be a faithful slave because his circumstances are the providence of his faithful God. Read the story of Daniel in Babylon, or Joseph in Egypt, for examples.
When you don’t have the guts to fight you can hide in platitudes. They won’t save you but it’s all about feeling good, right?
I’m a Catholic-and a fighter and rebel by nature-not a sheep-I’m not going to walk into the arena singing hymns and smiling because I’m going to Heaven after the lions maul and kill me-I’ll opt for a weapon and a fight-if I’m looking at death-”Es mejor morir de pie que vivir de rodillas”-I guess Vikings would say Valhalla, I am coming...
