U.S. Christians told: Prepare for persecution
World Net Daily ^ | 24 Oct 15 | Staff

Posted on 10/25/2015 10:03:03 AM PDT by SkyPilot

They’re marked for extermination in the Middle East. They’re banned from practicing their faith in many nations around the world. They’ve been subjected to violence, intimidation and hatred from the very beginnings of the faith until the present day.

Christians are no strangers to persecution. But such treatment largely hasn’t erupted in the United States of America. Until now.

"American Christians need to prepare for persecution," Carl Gallups told WND TV. The former law enforcement professional and pastor of Hickory Hammock Baptist Church argued Christians are increasing being "targeted" for both political harassment and outright violence.

And he's written a new book, "Be Thou Prepared: Equipping the Church for Persecution And Times of Trouble," designed to prepare believers for the dark times ahead.

Gallups cited several disturbing trends he believes will prove a threat to American Christians.

"We've got a huge Islamic influx and we've got radical agendas including the radical abortion movement. That movement has just been exposed in videos and they're angry. We've also got the radical homosexual movement and now the Supreme Court ruling legalizing gay marriage."

Gallups argues political and cultural opposition to Christianity is likely to intensify in coming years. He warns individual believers may find their businesses targeted for destruction by politically motivated activists, especially homosexual rights protesters.

"They have a practice of targeting," Gallups said. "They're ready to roll and they've already said that Supreme Court ruling is just the foundation of what we want to do. That's not the end of it, it's not like, 'oh, now we can get married, we're happy.' Oh no. That was the platform for them to launch off of in order to bring the whole culture down."

I remember when Obama placed the not-so-secret lesbian homosexual Kagan on the Supreme Court.

A child could have foretold that the agenda was to attack God and those who follow Him.

And yet, several Republicans voted to confirm this evil woman.

Since Obama conned his way into office, Christians around the world have been tortured, raped, mutilated, and murdered.

Here at home, Christianity is under siege, and it gets worse every day.

They have a practice of targeting,” Gallups said. “They’re ready to roll and they’ve already said that Supreme Court ruling is just the foundation of what we want to do. That’s not the end of it, it’s not like, ‘oh, now we can get married, we’re happy.’ Oh no. That was the platform for them to launch off of in order to bring the whole culture down.”


The Supreme Court ruling on homosexual marriage simply moved the goal posts. These liberals will NOT be happy and find their lives complete now that we have nationwide homosexual marriage.

Now they are going to push further. Churches and religious denominations may be sued over not allowing homosexual marriage. There’s a ballot initiative to be voted on in Houston soon, which gives some special rights to “transgendered” persons. Now that homosexuality itself has been mainstreamed, other more and more bizarre gender identities/sexual identities/sexual behaviors will be pushed by the liberals, as they seek to normalize these other behaviors.

And per the liberal playbook, any who are opposed are by definition bigots and hate mongers, and more of a threat to America than Muslim terrorism.

And the liberal media will carry this message far and wide, just as the media was invaluable to the activists to normalize homosexuality.

Why do you think there are so many homosexual characters on TV shows nowadays? Is that just a coincidence??

When the Muslims say they are offended by the presence of pork -- they are not offended by the presence of pork.
When Muslims say they need access to a prayer room during the day -- They do not want access to a prayer room during the day.
When Muslims demand recognition of one of their holy days -- They do not seek recognition of one of their holy days.

The only thing they ever want is control of the secular society and the imposition of Sharia Law. Everything they talk about -- food, prayer, holidays, whatever -- it's all intended as a way to change and control your life.

Every bit of it is a persecution to Christians and Jews.

Is there any way to get rid of Supreme Court justices if they fail to follow their oath of office?

That’s because the enemy in the WH is letting the enemy into the country, by design.

Something wicked this way comes; a horror beyond your wildest imagination; death and destruction on a scale never witnessed in the history of man.

Yes, and the lavender mafia will soon be coming for preachers in the pulpit, who dare to call homosexuality for what it is, an abomination and sexual deviancy.

IIRC, this happened in Canada not too long ago.

Even James Dobson's radio ministry there was banned when it criticized this sexual perversion.

Yes, they're coming for us all right.

But if God is with you, who can be against you?

Oh, and Mr. Glock is with me too.

Congress has the power to impeach judges. The House of Representatives would have to pass articles if impeachment. But no justice has ever been impeached, and our Congress cannot even pass a budget, let alone get something done like get rid of immoral evil "justices."

I predict Obama's IRS will go after Christian churches tax exempt status before he leaves office, that is, if he ever does leave.

And yes, I agree, we will see true Christian pastors arrested soon. It is all happening with frightening speed.

Yep. Cicero stated that when you allow unjust laws to be established in any “Justice” System-—you will get tyranny and the destruction of the Republic.

All law, when it ceases to be “Just” (virtuous), it ceases to be Law in American jurisprudence. All unjust law is “NULL AND VOID” (reiterated by MLK, Jr. and at Nuremberg Trials.)

We have allowed unconstitutional “laws” for a century——and now we have literally ejected Right Reason and God’s Laws—the basis of American law-—which is fundamental to Common Sense and ALL “Just” Laws

IOW, we (our Justices) threw out the American Constitution. The SCOTUS who allowed this, need to be in prison for treason.

Evil, satanists, like Kagan, should be in prison-—they should be impeached for treason and replacing the American Justice System for a satanic Vice System.

Promotion of irrational, vile use of the human body (sodomy) is the promotion of Satanism and its Rite of Sodomy on their altar of Ba’al worship which always includes pederasty. Satanists are nasty—as all sodomites, and it is ALWAYS for the minds (worldview) of the little boys like it is for Afghani males who grow up in boy harems.

All ideas embrace a “faith” and the ONLY “faith” that is embedded in our Constitution is the faith of Christianity which is the ONLY “faith” that embraces Individualism and Natural Law Theory. All Marxism, Progressivism, Atheism, paganism, islam-—all those “faiths/ideologies” eliminate Individual Natural Rights from God, which are guaranteed to ALL US citizens.

Any person with these irrational, vile “faiths” of slavery and vice (sodomy), need to be ejected from any political/judicial office which demands an OATH to uphold our Constitution..

Of course it isn’t coincidence. A lady by the name of Gwen Richardson wrote a pretty good book along those lines. I meant to interview her but it didn’t come about.
