Plenty of Christians died horrible deaths immersed in God's love including most of the Apostles.
If you find yourself saying something that sounds Christian that SOUNDS good like "God would never...." that you couldn't say to a Christian being fed to a lion during the reign of Nero for not saying "Cesar is Lord" then it's likely not Biblical.
Christians are not promised safety or security on Earth. We are promised eternity.
We’re promised a lot more than that. But even Christians often love darkness more than light, and eschew the personal responsibility for using faith to create the miracles that can and would save the world. They wait on Jesus. And eat their bread. And pat themselves on the back as though they were good, all while reading stories of men walking on water, parting seas, healing the sick, raising the dead, and working all other manner of miracles. They take to message boards and bitch about the world like one who has never read the scripture, and die with the rest of them expecting glory for their weakness and ignorance of how this world really works when they get to the next, leaving the worlds ills for their children to suffer and resolve.
The Kingdom of Heaven is within you. Stop bitching and learn to pray right so we can finally win this thing.
The Bible doesn't command us to only pray, it commands us to take dominion.
Christs blood bought everything and every day. From government, to schools, to entertainment to Toyotathon.
My church doesn't sit around and bitch and pray. We get out and fight. We wrote the amicus brief that overturned Roe v Wade. We have bills of full abolition pending across the country.
Good for you. Your arm of flesh has done well. Or at least the one you belong to. But your lack of faith in the power of prayer will always keep you from your real potential. The prideful bragging doesn’t help you much either.
I don't lack faith in the power of prayer, I was pointing out that's not the only thing Christians are commanded to do.
I take great pride in the fact that God used our faithfulness to end Roe v Wade after years of fighting for the unborn and saving countless children by doing outreach in front of abortion clinics as well as training and equipping christians around the world to do the same.
That's called sharing Gods accomplishments to encourage others to do the same. The Bible is full of things just like that.
You seem to be taking a pretty haughty attitude. What have you and your church done that's has measurably affected the nation or world?

Thats what scares me. Personally, I wouldn't be good with getting my head separated from my body. I'm hoping God doesn't make me face that. 🙏🏼
I want to laugh at them and sing hymns while they set me up for execution. That would be nifty.
Can't say I'm a fan of the idea, but at least it's quick... usually...
That's right when Jesus left the final time after he was risen apostle Simon went to a new place near Egypt. That is where they sawed him in half!
Jesus most beloved apostle John was skinned alive and then beheaded.
People were more brutal back then!

Wow nice ad-hominem attack and misrepresentation.
