My reply is going to be, "Who in the name of the Lord are you?" and, "Did Jesus send you here to do this?" Then I'm going to commence to PRAY for them. If I have to I will jump around and shout "Hallelujah" so they will get tired of listening to me. Praying in the name of Jesus this works.
Who said I was sacrificing? God said "PUT ON YOUR FULL ARMOR OF GOD" not just half of it. If you're gonna STAND UP for God, then do it FULLY. NEVER back down. This is what God wants you to do. You realize he will be there with you backing you up don't you? And when you have reached your weakest moment, that is when he will carry you.
Not disagreeing with you that history seems to repeat itself...
But my point was simply that there is nothing to gain from giving them a reason to call you a zealot. These people are not going to change their minds because you shouted religious condemnations at them. That will only make them pay you extra attention.
True, but hiding it is against many religions, or at least what os strived for. Death is not a thing to fear, or embrace. It just is, and we all will do it. What condition you are at when it happens is more of what counts.
“Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
I have not been blessed with the speaking in tongues. However if I was, I would use it if the good Lord is willing. I will stick with God first. Remember, we must put on our FULL ARMOR OF GOD. He will pull us through in our time of need. And I will keep the faith to count on it. Amen.
not to go way way off topic but as far as the gift of speaking in tongues goes all you have to do is ask for it and receive it by faith. There are a lot of mention of it in the bible, but a lot of denominations basically outlaw it of some reason.
"Lord I trust your holy spirit to intercede in prayer on behalf of x y z in the name of Jesus" then let yourself do it without worrying about what you sound like

My husband received a text message the other day from GA Votes, or something like that, asking him about vaccines. It begins..
As righteous as your intentions may be, this could make them check the box for "religious zealotry" and reserve you a cot in the FEMA camps.
It's probably better to slam the door in their face or not answer at all.
Thanks for the input. I'll stick with God first. Amen.
God does not ask for sacrifice.

Start hiding your religion now from the nazis, lest they put you in a concentration camp for it.
History really does repeat itself, doesn't it?

And when the angel of God opens the gates to the FEMA camps, I'll be walking out.

People fear what they don't understand. They take it as demonic or witchcraft.
