The inquisition is still alive.

[No name given]

From what I heard, it’s the pagans targeting the Christians this time around.

[mairdie]

I’ve never heard about this at all. My impression was that Mexico was historically Catholic but politically socialist, which isn’t always contradictory. But that doesn’t make for a consistent approach to other religions.

Is this a weirdo cult or a normal type Protestant group?

[SaveFerris]

VERY few Christians will survive the coming 7-years of 'Peace and Security' - the Tribulation period

And it hasn't started yet

THIS is what Tribulation Saints will have to contend with.

Many will betray them because they refused the Mark of the Beast.

Yes, this WILL NOT happen tomorrow but we have to tell people TODAY.

Because the days WILL come when owning a Bible and preaching sound doctrine will be ILLEGAL. Shoot, we're almost there.

Even in the good old U.S.A.

Can’t post any more than this...would be permanently banned. Someone just tell me near what city this and who the principal leaders are.

Thank you for the message. I've been trying to warn them of what is coming. You can see it clearly in the uptick of rhetoric against Christians.

They are indoctrinating millions to believe that Christians are nazis, kkk, racist, fascists and so on.

If not stopped, just as I warned them about the left using the term "democracy" we will all be targeted. They will claim that our beliefs are against the "norms" of a "democracy" and need to be rehabilitated, censored, and then the crimes against us will get out of hand.

The left use words as a type of sorcery to indoctrinate those of which they want to subjugate. Such as "gender reaffirming" "reproductive health" and so on.

They're evil and use evil to overcome us. They will pick us off one by one if we don't come together for all of us.

Mexico has a history of oppressing/murdering Christians.

You’re welcome. I hope and pray 🙏🙏🙏🛐🛐 that my meager efforts have some effect. Dunno

Thanks to JimRob for letting me get some stuff out to some parts of our world 🌎🌍🌏

Of course the admins put up with all of my typos and errors 😁😁😇😇😇

I fell on hard times so I know what life can do to a person ESPECIALLY when the world 🌎🌍 turns against you.

It’s exhausting, tiring and can almost kill your Faith. In some ways, experiencing that gave me even more of a preview of a tiny bit that Tribulation Saints will endure (MUCH MORE HARSHLY FOR THEM of course)

Most of my Christian friends don’t understand it - they have normal lives and jobs

Everything is wonderful - until it isn’t

I was in good shape until family problems overwhelmed me after a couple of decades

God bless you 🛐🛐✝️🙏🙏🛐🛐🛐

Historically Catholic until the revolution against Spain. Thereafter freemasonic and anti Catholic, sometimes merely tense and unfriendly, but at other times violently persecuting.

Not much has changed over the centuries, has it?

Jesus said that Christians would be persecuted as He was. We aren’t surprised that this is happening.

[daniel1212]

religious minority groups wouldn't be tolerated.

Yet, using the sword of men against the minority is something that early Prots also had to unlearn from Rome.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

And yet there are moslems in Mexico. They made the news when going to Mecca.

“My impression was that Mexico was historically Catholic”.
You think those mexicans realize that both the language they speak and the church they worship at and donate money to are from a conquering nation? It’s called Spain, you know in Europe...
Most likely not.

[mairdie]

That must be part of their history classes in school, just as we learn we spun off from England. Well, at least they USED to teach that here.

[EnderWiggin1970]

Looks like a conservative Baptist group, which is within what I'd call "normal type Protestant" (especially since liberal protestants do very little mission work so it tends to be the conservative groups by default in the mission field).

I am involved with non-denominational mission work in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, not so far from southern Mexico. The Catholic church retains a kind of institutional authority, but Protestants have made major inroads in the region over the years. Honduras now has more professing Protestants than Catholics for example, and as a rule the Protestants are much more active and involved in their faith as they are more likely to be direct converts, not just born into it.

So there is an openness to Protestant mission work and large numbers are Protestant, but in "backwater" rural areas you still find regions that are untouched and where "everyone" is Catholic - albeit mostly only in a cultural sense. It is in these areas where things can be ugly. The "Catholics" there tend to be syncretistic, mixing in elements of old Mayan religion, and ignorant of any deep Catholic teaching - all of which is to say, actual Christian faith is tenuous or nonexistent among such people. And so you get plenty of stories of persecution as these "CINOs" lash out at anyone with "new teachings." I wouldn't be surprised if a doctrinaire Catholic from abroad faced much the same opposition if they tried to quell the rampant heresy in these regions.

There is nothing new under the sun.
