Indonesian city officials destroyed a Christian church in front of its weeping congregation. Muslims stood around and egged on the destruction.
...
Muslim protesters egged on workers and branded the Christians “infidels”.
Dozens in the 100-strong congregation wailed as a digger tore down the brick walls, with worshippers accusing the government of “criminalising our religion”, in a sign of increasing intolerance in the world’s largest Muslim-majority nation.
“My heart is aching and I feel numb watching my church collapse. I went to this church for 11 years,” worshipper Megarenta Sihite, 46, told AFP, wiping away tears as fellow worshippers, dressed in black, hugged each other..

In Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia, five churches were attacked by vigilantes wielding Molotov cocktails in February

I’m not implying anything against the poor Christians who watched their Church destroyed.
What I obviously didn’t get across is that if Christians IN America are not careful, this type of thing will be happening here.
Thought I was making sense there, obviously not.
It was not always that way, and you know it.
All I mean is that Christians better start fighting back for their Religion or there wont’ be any Christians.
And before someone starts “Jesus preached peace” Yes, he did, but nowhere did he say just let them walk all over you and kill you.
My life, your life, is just as important. Would I die for my beliefs? Yes, I would, but I’d also make sure that the sumbitch who was killing me went with me.
Jesus when he returns, returns as a WARRIOR, and He doesn’t need sheeple.
For this specific case of Christians in Indonesia, what I said holds. The Christians are a minority there.
If you want to talk about Christians in the US, fine, but that's a different case, we are a majority here.
If you want to talk about us Christians helping fellow-religionists in Indonesia, then yes, I agree with you
But DON'T blame the Indonesian Christians for "not doing enough"
You know, I wish he would?
Bring them to Houston and let them have at it .... starting with First Bapdiss Church in Houston.
It's located right next to two freeways, for the convenience of Texas gun owners.
Didn't know he already had his statue in Indonesia.
you keep up with the smart butt attitude and I will blame anybody I want to.
How’s that.
God didn’t say bend over and take it, Indian Christians needed to prepare themselves for a war with Muslims when they accepted Christ.
Christians anywhere they are a minority are getting their butts kicked and all I hear from fellow Christians is that Jesus preached peace. Yes, he did BUT when he returns he wants WARRIORS not Cowards. If you won’t fight now, when Muslims are killing you, then He won’t care that you want to fight when He comes back.
You seem surprised by this violence. In Indonesia, this has been happening for over 100 yrs., and escalated in the the last 40+ yrs. Obama’s election has further hardened islamic push for sharia law, everywhere they have had a foothold. Including Our United States, for quite awhile, Shadowstrike. The timeline for US Christians being careful, has long past. Prayer without action is wishful thinking. Regardless, timely warnings are always well recieved...may God bless us
meant INDONESIAN not INDIAN.
No I’m not surprised by it, rather I’m sick of it.
So you will blame rape victims for what happened to them, I guess?
and you will blame abortion victims for what happened to them?
Just as you are blaming Christians in Indonesia who are a tiny minority outnumbered by Moslems, you are blaming them for what is happening to them.
Wonderful....
Do read the article before commenting -- this is indonesia, not India
What exactly are you doing in the war against Moslems?
Or helping our indonesian Christian brethren in their war?
Good. We have a long haul, ahead. It’s good to puke, rest-a-walk, repeat as needed- until the fight. Most of this has been extended skirmish for the last decades/centuries. We are finally coming down to the bite... keep Heart, keep Faith...may God bless us
you’re intentionally being well, stupid, and it’s a shame.
If you notice, or can actually read I DID correct it from Indian to Indonesian, but it’s little things like that, that obviously escape you.
Nope, don’t blame rape victimes, nope don’t blame abortion victims, but YES, I am actually blaming Christians for weeping instead of fighting.
And if you look up the history of Indonesia, you WILL see that Islam was not always the majority, so in the case I am blaming the minority Christians.
For not fighting back.
Take it anyway you want to, I actually don’t care what you think.
do read the part where I actually corrected that statement.
I can ask you the same question...
What are YOU doing?
if you want to criticise Christians in Indonesia for not "standing up" to Moslem, and if you want to criticise Jews for not "standing up to Nazis, then the onus is on you to prove that you do anything else besides sit in your comfy chair and criticise others
And you are, well, stupid, and it’s a shame.
And, you're in Chile...tell me how it is in a few years when Islam is taking over there.
In at least one instance, yeah I do blame the Jews. When two, TWO German soldiers with guns can get an entire village on a train and NOBODY fights back...well, yeah in that moment you are a sheep.
that’s the best you can do? I’M stupid?
Sorry my IQ is higher than yours I’ll wager, and I am a realistic person.
God wants fighters against EVIL, and ISLAM is EVIL.
Agree with me, don’t agree with me, that’s your choice, but at least I don’t have my head stuck in the sand.
