I’m still trying to figure out how we “test” for Christianity? Have them sit down to a nice pork and beans dinner? How about a Multiple Choice test? half of the Christians in the US would probably flunk such a test.
That’s what I’d like to know.
Believing the bible is true might be useful.
We’ve already got a lot of middle eastern Christians in Michigan. They know how to spot the muslims.
The best thing about the middle eastern Christians is the fact that they take care of their own and generally become productive members of society.
I saw a report that said some of the refugees in Europe were claiming to be Christian or to ha e converted to Christianity so that they wouldn’t be sent back,
I kinda suspect that Syrian Christians, indeed ALL Middle-Eastern Christians would know, and live their faith much better than most Western Christians because they have HAD TO depend on Jesus for their survival.
I recall hearing a story many years ago, of a Christian in East Germany. Some Christians were having a meeting in an apartment when the meeting was broken up by several machine gun toting secret police. The police told them that any non-Christians could leave but the Christians would be shot. A few people left, but some stayed. The secret police closed the door and asked the people to join them in prayer. When asked why they did that, the secret police wanted to ensure they were meeting with ‘real’, fellow Christians.
O’Venal and Turd-owe (and Hollande and Cameron and Merkel, et al, for that matter) may well be our ‘chastisement’ for following ‘our’ will rather than His will. And yes, I definitely put myself in that category.
