No. He is telling us if we follow HIS way, then we will be chastised, beaten, killed, and ostracized. If you follow him then people would single you out, call you names (self-rightous), and call you a kook.
If you follow HIS way, your life will not be easy. It will be very difficult, but your reward will be in heaven. So rejoice.
Are you doing this on purpose or what?
Ever since I made the statement about some "self righteous" freepers who rant about homosexuality...you've managed to fit comments about this into your responses.
Above you seem to be describing yourself as the follower of Christ and me as the persecuter who "called you a name... self righteous".
You can't be serious.
