Matthew 5: 10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
1 Corinthians 4: 12-13 When we are cursed, we bless, when we are persecuted we endure it, when we are slandered we answer kindly. Up to this moment we have become the scum of the earth, the refuse of the world.
2 Corinthians 4:8 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.
Romans 12: 14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
I just want to encourage all of you; my brothers and sisters in Christ, to not give up even when people attack you and your faith. I hope these verse will encourage you. Lets continue to stand up for the truth on Yahoo answers.
God Bless you!

First issues first. the international isn't an Anti-Christian international. it is delusional behaviour on your area, in case you think of this so. certainty: Christianity is on the decline, as a results of determination, progression, loss of morals and social respects, loss of concept, faith corrosion is happening to all those, that see suffering international, the place the West is transforming into richer and something of the international is being left in the back of, and this corrosion and tarnishing of the religion, is ensuing in the Erosion of Religon globally. yet none of it is to do with Anti Christian stance with the aid of all or particularly some the followers of different faiths. Now that we've addressed the 1st area of your misguided stipulation of world faiths, the 2nd area and how Christians would desire to stand up, is to start believing in God, unquestionably initiate going to Church. Christians are dropping faith in the Lord, as a results of their own movements. Sunday is now no longer a holy day, yet a procuring day. Easter is now no longer a non secular day, yet a time to consume chocolate eggs, and different linked non-sensical events. Christmas is barely approximately provides and the christmas tree, and a bid lunch of turkey. it relatively is no longer a religous time, the place the lord is remembered with the aid of a lots needed holiday to the church. Christianity is suffering as a results of lack of concept from its own followers. i'm sorry, my buddy, yet faith erosion is happening in all religons globally, notwithstanding Christianity is the biggest casuality of all of them. so, motivate your persons and kin to start to bypass to church, and make a contribution a while to those efforts and be an occasion for others, the lord nevertheless desires us, and loves us. desire i did no longer offend, yet your question became into 0.5 good.

Standing up for faith or madness? Do you not like the evil parts of the Bible?
The Bible is Trash.
The Bible is the biggest load of garbage and codswallop ever written by man, and I’m sure it will go down in history as the greatest load of gobbledygook ever to inflict such traumatic mental and physical damage on humanity, but still today, some people sadly believe the Bible to be true. That’s very sad indeed. Very sad.
When people quote various passages from the Bible, for example ...
Mathew 5:29-30 God encouraged self-mutilation.
Isaiah 13:15-18 God allowed women raped and little children slaughtered.
Genesis 6:11-17 and 7:11-24 God is the greatest mass murder in history.
What happens? Religious people pop up from under every stone with the same old garbage. “That was the old Bible, or we’ve changed the meaning, or we’ve changed the context, or the quotes are out of context or or or, excuse after excuse.”
The fact is, they are Bible quotes, and the Bible is full of evil atrocities which religious people continually cover up, yet seem happy to drum into the minds of gullible little children. This is such a shameful disgrace in a civilised world.
If religious people are unable to apply commonsense and logic to develop a simple moral code to live by, then perhaps they could strip out of the Bible the evil, murders, rapes, abuse, and all traumatic references. Granted there will not be a lot left to read, but at least religious people may end up with a decent moral code to follow based on good, and not scare the living daylights out of innocent little children.

Thank you, brother, same to you and more. We will continue to contend for the faith, refute error, stand up for the truth of Scripture and stir up the atheists. What they don't get is that the more we are persecuted, the stronger we become.
