Are we ready for the end times? Without the Holy Spirit can we do it alone?

Oh, yeah, right. Christians are in imminent danger of being persecuted. Right.
You people are overly dramatic spoiled brats.

You look forward to being killed for believing in Jesus. Right.

I've often wondered how today's US Christians (who get all upset because someone says "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" and whine about "the war on Christmas") would be able to handle the actual physical torture that many of our brothers and sisters around the world endure.

Easily and better. Living with a guy forever is torture to me. Go faith by yourself.

we cant do it without God.
We wll be raptured before the worst of t comes but im sure we will endure something, we will be around when the one world government and mark of the beast comes.
We are very lucky to not get tortured YET for many in diferent parts of the world get killed because of their belief in Jesus.

When I believe and trusted that the Lord Jesus Christ died for my sins God promised me that I would be delivered from the wrath to come. I may go through hard times but I will never be subject to the wrath of God in the tribulation period (end times) Romans 5: 9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. 1 Thessalonians 1: 10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. 1 Thessalonians 5: 9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

No, but we can do it with God.
" Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen."
"I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death."
Forget about the Rapture and follow the Lord when he arrives.

OK thats alot isnt it
RESTRICTED MEANS = countries where goverment policy or practice prevents christians from obtaining Bibles , or other christian literature . Also goverment-sanctioned circumstances or anti-Christian laws that lead to Christians being harrassed , imprisoned , killed ,or deprived of possessions or liberties because of thier witness .
HOSTILE AREA= This includes large areas in nations where goverments consistently attempt to provide protection for the Christian population , but Christians are victims of violence because of their witness .
Question is will it one day be HERE...
I think so as well , as it is already beginning to happen with the Laws being passed to keep Christianity and its teachings and writings out of public view will soon even be in private view Laws such as hate crime laws which say a preacher cant Preach TRUTH, cause it may offend a certian group or groups who do that which is contrary to the teachings of the BIBLE........it is already starting here in the U.S. and i believe will get worse and worse as this Nation goes farther and farther from the Word of GOD in its Laws and constitutions which already are being TWISTED to say what man wants them to say rather then what they SAID !!!!!!!
