Christian Fear

...as Christians, we have been forced into a tolerance that has handicapped us in such a devastating way that unless we make some serious changes, we may never see the freedom that Christianity once knew in America. What exactly do I mean?

We have been urged to be tolerant of other religious faiths such as Muslim, Atheist, Buddhism, and other newer evolving religions, as well as cults. We have been forced, or allowed ourselves to be forced into, being tolerant of behaviors that blatantly defy the Law of God, which is what Christianity is based on. Some may argue that all religions are basically the same. They all serve "a" god. They mostly all live by the "golden rule". Most religions teach people to "do" good things and to "be" good people, or "treat" others the way you want to be treated. Okay, are we going to be real here or not?

Is Christianity not the only faith that recognizes we do not get into heaven based on our own merit and deeds? Is Christianity not the only religion that calls us to accept the gift of Christ's death for us for eternal salvation? Through us accepting that gift we realize that the fruits of the Spirit will flow from the changed heart. We then will be producing more effective examples of good deeds due to the love and honor we have for our God, always desiring to please and honor Him. We will be judged and rewarded addionally based on our deeds once we enter heaven. There is, however, only ONE way to enter the Kingdom of heaven. All of those who deny Christ will perish. What does this mean?

Ann Lindholm's column examines the cost to Christians and Christianity in an America where tolerance of other religions is preached to the point of becoming intolerance, and persecution, of Christians.

INDEED.

As many of us have predicted for decades . . . “finally” coming true.

God have mercy.

Father Corapi gave a long sermon on the necessity of passing judgement last week......

Christianity is the only religion that holds up to scrutiny. If everyone followed the teachings of Christ, we would live in a truly peaceful society.

I'm an atheist. Why shouldn't you be tolerant of my (lack of) faith?
