Even If the government made it against the law to worship , I would still continue to do so. What would you do ? Christians respond please.

Yes I would. When God saved my soul, He put a new song in my heart. He changed my life. I want to live for Him, and Serve Him. I want to tell the world that Jesus saves, and Jesus loves you. I have a desire to work for the Lord until he calls me home. No matter what the government, or anyone else saids, I will stand for my lord,as long as i live. Even if it means death unto me. My God died for me, and I would die for Him.

Good for you. And as long as I have breath in MY body, I will stand firm in my belief in a Goddess and God who don't wish harm on anyone or anything. Even if the government made it against the law to worship anything but the Christian god, which it seems more in the line of doing than what you're suggesting.

Jesus Christ is Lord. Period.
The Father, The Son, The Holy Spirit is one -- in answer to the guy who asked the what about question.
Nobody can make us stop worshipping our God and nobody has the power to damn our souls but our own free will. Better to sacrifice our life on this earth than to risk eternal damnation. Heavy language I know but it will be a heavy cost for those that do not practice it. I will not let any government tell me what to believe. There will come a time that they will try (take a good look at what is going on in the world right now and you can see the beginnings of it). It is up to Christians to hold their ground today, tomorrow, and always.

If the government made it against the law to believe what I currently believe (not Christianity, but all the same), I would leave the country. One thing I am proud of in our country is that we have always allowed freedom of religion since the constitution and even though people threaten that sometime, the principle stands. The loss of freedom of religion is against everything this country stands for and it would symbolize the country's downfall. It wouldn't be worth living here if no one were willing to stop something like that.

Like Daniel who asked God for guidence when king Darius made a decree that every man that shall ask a petition of any God or man within thirty days, save the king, should be cast into the lions den, I would also continue to worship Jesus. Even if the government found a modern day "lion's den"!

First, I'll start by saying that I'm politically moderate on the issue of gay marriage. I don't really think it makes a lot of difference what Uncle Sam calls married and not.
That said, I am patiently waiting for the day when they make it illegal to preach from any material that condemns homosexuality or illegal for a church to stop marying gay people. I wait for this day with the utmost patience, doing nothing to push it forward and bring it about. On that day, I will send an invitation to everyone I can get the address for, until I run out of money for stamps, starting with all the local police, the military personel, any local government officals, judges, and the like church men and women, pastors, leaders, and newspapers, inviting them to my house to start my new home-based bible study (or if I can get my church to subscribe to the idea, we'll meet there.) And our first lesson? "What does God have to say on Homosexuality? A study from Romans 1 and Leviticus 18:22" I'll have my wife searve drinks while they drag me away to jail, or I'll pay the fine on the spot if that's how they choose to do it and keep on preaching. In short, if the government gives me a chance, I always wanted to be a martyr when I grew up. Now I'm grown up...

You go on and worship. No one should have the right to tell you or stop you from believing or having faith in God. As for the gay person who responded, it is a totally different situation. It would be like telling gay people that they couldn't be gay or act gay. That is not what is happening. They are only telling gay people that their union won't be considered as a marriage on paper. But the truth is that you could still be gay and in yours and your partner's eyes be married and have a ceremony. It just won't be on paper. So do not compare that with the government passing a law that would not permit you to worship. Everyone should be allowed to worship, be and believe in what they please.

I have thought about the end times, tribulation, etc...
Would my faith rise up with such strength (which we could only get from and in God) that I'd do everything in my power to worship? YES! In my home, in my heart, in a warehouse underground or in my mind and on my lips, I would still learn about, teach to, priase, worship, talk to, pray to, etc....my Lord and Father.
If the government made it difficult, with threats of suffering, persecution or death on me or my children, I would still like to think I would proclaim my faith and trust in Jesus with every last ounce of breath and energy I had...as well as teach my children to do the same, and why.
God states all will fall under persecution in His Name...
I guess none of us truly know what we would do if that time came, but, I dont deny Him now, an dmy love for His is so great, I can't see myself ever doing it.
But then again, look at Peter, who loved Jesus so, and was faithful to Him...and he denied Christ 3x, out of his weakness anf fear our flesh holds. We all have that, so, I can't say 100% what I WOULD do, but I can reply with all honesty what I would think and would hope I'd do.
But no matter what, He has displayd HIs love, mercy and grace upon so many, and I know no matter what I did, He would on me as well, if my flesh served my weakness.

First of all, I could never forget what He did for me. He died for my sins, He was buried and took my sins away and rose again the third day for my justification. I could never stop telling other of this great salvation plan. How that God left heavens glory and came to earth and became a man and die for my sins. Philippians 2: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: Philippians 2: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: Philippians 2: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

I want you to know that i am with you 100%, but lets have a clear understanding, Jesus never called himself the one and only true God, please brother don't make the mistake. I believe anyhow we worship him, His father still gets all the praise because Jesus already has given all glory and honor to God, but like Jesus said, His Father is the only one, He is our Father and we are His children, He is the only one worthy of all our praise. Let us worship him through our Lord Jesus Christ, lets pray to him in the name of his son Jesus Christ. (Matthew.4:10, John.5:44).

Only the belief in God could result in a government that would do that. So you, unknowingly are facilitating that ends.
It's like saying, no matter how flooded and unlivable my world becomes, I'm going to continue poking holes in the dike.
