All that they can do is kill me. They cannot kill my soul because it is GOD’s to do with as he pleases. I appreciate your words of great wisdom and may GOD bless you for them.

Your greatest threat to your faith is going to come from yourself. When you suffer misery, hunger, sickness and watch those you love suffer and get beaten/arrested or killed - just about everything you assumed about being a Christian gets tossed up into doubt and every emotion you have will be tested to it’s breaking point. You begin to get angry with God.

We have no experience with suffering such things when persecution and privation become institutionalized by society and the ruling classes.

But it’s something we need to be mindful of when opposing evil and living as we should in a society declining into wickedness and tyranny.

I got just a small taste of that - and I nearly lost my faith.
