Christianity: Illegal in the U.S.

​Christianity illegal in the US.
When I tell people that Christianity is illegal in the US, they seemed confused or to think that I am.
The Bible states that loving GOD & Loving your neighbor is the fulfillment of all the commandments (Lev. 19:18: Matt. 19:19; Matt. 22:39; Mk. 12:31; Lk. 10:27; Rom. 13:9; Gal. 5:14; James 2:8; Rom. 13:8; Mk. 12:33).   It is really the most basic way that our Christianity is lived out.  Jesus showed what it looked like in what He did for us.  He also gave us the “Good Samaritan parable as well as many others.  The “Golden Rule” sums up what loving your neighbor is about.  If you were about to be murdered then you would want someone to intervene on your behalf & stop the murderer.  This is illegal in the US.  Christians today will respond that there are other ways to love your neighbor but how can they really think that stopping their murderer from murdering them is not what they would want most if they were the victim.  I really think that these people that say these things really believe their own lies.
  I often heard folks in church talk about how bad things are getting in our culture and how they think that before long it will be illegal to be a Christian.  These same people are unaware of the fact that the issue which resulted in the arrest of more Christians than any other issue in the U.S. was of those Christians who were interposing themselves on behalf of their preborn neighbors from the mid 1980’s into the early 1990s.  These Christians had produced some fruit of their repentance from not loving their preborn neighbors, who were threatened with murder and it resulted in their arrest.  Some spent some considerable time in jail.  Hebrews 13:1-3 is referring to Christians who were in jail.  It is where you expected to find Christians.
  As most Christians lead by their Pastors refused to identify with their preborn neighbors who were being brought to the mills to be murdered, they also had to deny the Christians who were being arrested for loving those preborn neighbors.
   2 Tim 3:12 say’s “All those who desire to live Godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted”.  Don’t overlook verse 13 “But evil men and imposters will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived”. I am afraid that what we see more of today is the denial of one’s faith or obedience to the extent necessary to avoid persecution. Like most of the Christians in Nazi Germany we will deny a whole people group if identifying with them may cost us too much.  I think that it was John Bunyan who when he was asked about his incarceration by another clergyman, responded “The question is not what am I doing in here but rather what are you doing out there?”.  People today are so out of touch with historical Christianity that when you mention a fellow believer who was arrested in the U.S., they think that the Christian must have done something wrong in order to get arrested. The more rational question might be, as a Christian, why am I not suffering persecution especially when I live in a holocaust. Most pastors have made more trips to visit Israel or even toured Auschwitz than to their local abortion mill to plead for the lives of their preborn neighbors or even hold a sign in protest of this holocaust.  Most pastors have made more trips to Hawaii, or some other overseas vacation spot, than to any one of the abortion clinics in their area.  I am not saying that it is wrong to go to these places but if you as a Pastor are known for these types of trips and your congregations hear of those excursions more often than you going to a place that is often just blocks from your church then this will serve to dehumanize the victims.  This is one reason why Christian women have their babies aborted.  After all it really can’t be murder or even that great of an offense against God if the pastor’s response to it is so weak.
