FWIW,dear Brother

I believe the poorest of the poor and the poorest of all nations is the hope of Christians-where persecution is the greatest

Previous to the comment to which I reply, you said;

Being as a Christian should look to only one place for hope, instead was the revised and extended [below] added;

The "hope" of Christians? Many of those Christians are looking to the U.S. for some hope, despite many of our own present cultural exports contain ungodliness in the mix.

The poor and the persecuted cannot "save" us. Helping them, of course, just puts those who will do so in the gun sights, both figurative and very real, of those doing the persecuting. Sort-of like it can here...but we face figurative gun sights from those who would persecute Christians, more then we do actual gun barrels.

For reason of increasing percentage of loud, noisy, obnoxious sinners, it does seem to me you may be overlooking those set-upon and continually opposed Christians right here in the U.S.

Are those Christians not yet enough persecuted for your liking?

Now for the real question;

Tell me true...just where today, right now do you stand?
