Iran condemns Olympics opening
X ^

Posted on 07/28/2024 3:00:54 PM PDT by MNDude

Iran says France should be ashamed of itself for its opening ceremony at the Olympics.

"The insulting representation of Jesus Christ in Paris yesterday was completely offensive and crossed all red lines.

France, a country with a major history of Christianity, must be ashamed of itself, and I implore our Christian people all over the world to speak out against this act. We resolutely condemn this."

Who’s you could come up with some cogent argument. But New Jersey folks are widely regarded as the most intelligent of people. Why don’t we do this. Why don’t you stop engaging me as you are not able to actually debate. Bless your heart. But since you cannot seem to understand something subtle let me translate that to a language a jersey guy can understand. GFY.

Christianity is dying.

Nope. Not dying, just diminishing in popularity.

True Biblical Christianiy, consisting only of Spirit-Indwelt servants of the Living Lord Jesus Messiah. could not be more alive than it is right now, although with great challenges as from the beginning of it on the shores of Lake Gennesaret.

What is apparent the world's death culture, and its rejectors of everlasting life obtainable through complete confidence in its Giver. It is the world that is in the last stages of dying, and you with it.

These world's false murderous religions, its conniving but now dead prophets and slyly deceiving christs are passing, dragging their deluded adherents to a permanent hell created for God's adversary Satan with his fallen spirit minions, so the Holy Preserved Writings say.

Revelation 20:12-15 (AV):

12And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.  14And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 
12And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. 
-------------
The philosophies of atheism, communism, evolutionism, humanism--all have their own manifestos and are religious in form themselves, not divisible from Buddhism, Hinduiism, Mohammedism, wokeism in their damnable effects.

Where are you going to be then, Jim Noble, when the roll of the Saints' names is called?

The compilation of them is drawing to a close, Jim.

They might be having a hard time, but they are there. Not only that, but they have churches to practice their faith. Hard to find that in other Islamic countries.

Travel, see the world, open your eyes. Not only Christians, but Jews there as well! America sucks up to KSA and other islamic countries where you can't be a ya can't be a Christian or jew!

A stopped clock and all.

Yes, the stopped clock. We all know, however, the Islamic Jesus, is not even remotely close, to the Jesus of the Bible.

Theoria, I don’t go to places. I listen to people who are in
those places. Right now you can find people online talking
about persecution of Christians in Iran.

Are you folks looking around at all?

Yes, its not as free as its here. But, they are allowed to be there, and be Christian. Iran has some of the fastest evangelical growth in the world.

There is no persecution of Christians or Jews in other Islamic areas, because they aren't allowed to have that faith or worship. They simply don't exist there to be persecuted. Iran has a liberal view on religions compared to other $hitholes.

Christians are under threat of their very lives.

We always have been.


They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony;
they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.

Revelation 12:11

Since you don’t seem capable of doing this for yourself, I
have done it for you.

Please read these reports. Does this sound like religious
freedom to you?

https://www.stefanus-usa.org/news/persecution-of-christians-intensifies-in-iran

https://globalchristianrelief.org/christian-persecution/countries/iran/

https://www.iranintl.com/en/202402207730

This is not religious freedom. Further, it only takes one
leader who has a very dim view of Christians, and he has an
open door to make life very hard for Christians.

Quit saying Christians are free to worship openly and freely
in Iran. It’s just not true and we both know it.

You're incapable of understanding that there is Christians there. Not only Christians, but Jews and other religions. There is temples and churches in Iran. They are able to worship there and hold political office in Tehran. Understand? Yes, there is often arrests, sometimes that's under the guise of something else.

You will not find Christians in other 'Islamic' countries. There is no churches in Saudi Arabia, no Jewish Temples, etc. Get it? Put that rage at other countries that don't allow churches or temples at all. Travel, see the world, meet other religions and talk to people.

When Iran gets something right—I support them. It doesn’t happen much but when it does-—It means we in the west has made an error.

I’m going to go with the expressions of indignation the actual
Christians in Iran express.

Later...
