Confirmed: The United States Is the Chief Facilitator of Christian Persecution
The Christian Post ^ | 1/21/14 | Raymond Ibrahim

Prominent indicators confirm that the U.S. is the chief facilitator of the persecution of Christians around the world today.

According to the recently released 2014 World Watch List, which ranks the 50 nations where Christians are most persecuted, Syria is the third worst nation in the world in which to be Christian, Iraq is fourth, Afghanistan fifth, and Libya 13th. All four countries receive the strongest designation, "extreme persecution" (other designations are "severe," "moderate," and "sparse" persecution).

Aside from being so closely and harshly ranked, these four nations have something else in common: heavy U.S. involvement. Three-Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya-were "liberated" thanks to U.S. forces, while in the fourth, Syria, the U.S. is actively sponsoring "freedom fighters" against the regime, many of whom would be better labeled "terrorists."

The Syrian situation alone indicts U.S. foreign policy. According to Reuters:

"Open Doors, a non-denominational group supporting persecuted Christians worldwide, said on Wednesday it had documented 2,123 "martyr" killings, compared with 1,201 in 2012. There were 1,213 such deaths in Syria alone last year, it said. "This is a very minimal count based on what has been reported in the media and we can confirm," said Frans Veerman, head of research for Open Doors. Estimates by other Christian groups put the annual figure as high as 8,000."

Yea, America is now owned by the evil regime and will continue its slide into hell as all seem to continue to ignore the truth and are liars and fools who believe the lie, their is no God but me.
Jesus Christ will descend from heaven and translate His Bible believing church and God the Father will release the four horsemen of the apocalypse, the beast anti Christ being the first and the world will adore the evil one as he deceives them and makes false peace with God's beloved Israel, the beast will begin his seven year program of hatred against all who follow him in this present evil world.
Save yourselves from this evil generation of snakes and vipers and accept the grace of God before the 7 year tribulation of the earth begins lest the wrath of God and of the lamb fall on you and yours. How? I Co:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: The just shall live by faith. Works necessary for salvation is forbidden as it trods underfoot the work of God by Christ Jesus at Calvary and makes a man proud of his evil works, thereby mocking God's anointed Son shed blood at Calvary the work of a sinful mankind. Note: Ep. 2: 1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. 11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; 12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: 13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. 14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; 15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; 16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: 17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. 18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

Americas first black president is a dictator and half of America’s democrat and rino idiots love it that way. Until they lose everything and realize that only God is good and governments have always been devilish in persecuting the people of God created in Christ Jesus ( the world is an enemy of God , see Psalm 2) unto good works, which God has ordained that the saved sinners should walk in.

Just like in Mexico when we were shipping weapons and supporting those attacking Christians in the 1910’s and 1920’s.

Viva Cristo Rey!
