We're not doing anything wrong. I mean, of course, EVERYBODY sins, but at least we try not to. We're just trying to help other non believers. Whats wrong with that?

Do you mean persecution? Anyway, I think it is because the devil knows that his time is short, so he's trying to make us give up. Just keep clinging to Jesus's righteousness as your own. We are forgiven and going to heaven someday, and that's what really matters. It isn't our own doing, but Christ's; therefore we can be confident that we are saved. Christ gives us strength and wisdom for whatever comes our way when we keep listening to and reading the Bible.

Several Christians have complained about being persecuted here lately. Some have been, I've no doubt, but many just don't like being confronted with the reality that not all the world is Christian. We are a diverse species, and those of us who follow a different path, yet try just as hard as you do to be good, and do good, can't help but be insulted when you speak as though Christians are the only ones trying to live moral lives. You're not. Many of us are trying very hard to live moral, fulfilling, useful lives. I ask you the same question you posed: What's wrong with that?

You mean 'persecution', don't you dearie? Prosecution is when some one takes you to court and sues your ears off. Jesus promised that you would get that, if you read you book. But he follows this warning up with, "But be of good cheer; I have overcome the world". (John 15:18-25; 16:33) So... I guess you will just have to learn to grin and bear it.

I'm not sure if Christians are the most persecuted. Religious minorities usually have a tough time of it, and Christians dealt out their fair share of persecution in the Inquisition and Crusades. Perhaps individuals react to the eternal damnation beliefs of some vocal Christians. Even gently asking someone to change their views can provoke a hostile response.

We are aliens in this life. We stand out in the crowd! If you have heard the song "Freak Show", it truly says what we are. To the rest of the world, us Christians are freaks. Its the same thing as this: you show up to school and everyone is wearing red and you are wearing white. People will notice you and maybe make fun of you, but they will also ask questions about it.

I do not doubt that you get persecuted
it is because thereis a sprirituel battle going on
we do not fight against flesh and blood but against sprirituel forces and wikedness in other realms
Somtimes we get it because we challenge the hearts of those who do not Love God we also get it because as the bible says the Holy spririt is in us Be of good courage this is not somthing strange it is not just you but your brothers and sisters all over the world are experiencing it as well somtimes a lot worse lets pray for them
Love to you

Some people just like trying to help others when they realize they're delusional,they're simply trying to help you. They realize you believe in your God just like children still believe in Santa, but sometimes it just becomes time to tell the child the truth,they can't spend the rest of their lives looking for gifts under the tree that aren't coming.

The problem is that many Christians come across as condescending and rude when they try to do that, even if they do it "out of love." "Helping non-believers" a lot of times is the same as "telling non-believers that they're wrong," and people don't want to hear that, understandably.

Usually, you are ridiculed for your lack of intellect. Just look at your posting - no Christian is prosecuted any more than any other religious persons.... Oh, you meant PERSECUTED. See the difference??
Youre not doing anything wrong? Thats a matter of opinion. When your breathren force your religion into the political laws of the US, that is wrong. So dont be so pious. You arent trying to help non-beleivers, you are forcing your religious ideologies on them - and thats not right either. Kinda like its not right for a muslim to force you to convert with a sword.,....its not right for you to threaten with with Hell if I dont convert. So keep it to yourself. Take an example from teh Jews. They dont go around selling their beleifs....

Give us some examples of how you personally are being persecuted.
In the U.S., I highly doubt Christians are persecuted. You may be challenged on your beliefs, argued with, and turned away... but that's not persecution.
Christians in some other countries are experiencing real persecution... how does yours compare with that?
