He's been erecting invisible straw man arguments, somehow we're to see them while the case remains unnamed. It's easy to win a case that hasn't been stated. Or rather, it's actually impossible, but the one with such an invisible case can at least pretend.
I would agree its seems like the goal to the end of his faith is as he recorded . (luke 6:22 blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the son of man's sake) Its not what should motivate us if that is what is happening.It can only breed hate.

I am hoping he will take heed to the many that are trying to help him

thanks jimbone glad to be here but it's all good I'm getting use to people disrespecting me and hating me because I'm speaking the truth....you know I was a drug and alcohol abuser and I use to beat my wife all the time and she never once called me evil but the one day I decided to stop going to church and seek god and learn from his word and now expose the lies she then called me evil it broke my heart because at first for a long time I thought I was just misunderstanding his word and doubting what I was being taught just confused but through much much praying,fasting and seeking I found others who had read the new testament others who had ears to hear so they heard just like I heard Gods word.... luke 6:22 blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the son of man's sake
We must be careful on how we can hear>

It would seem to be hearing after another manner of spirit other than the same spirit of Christ as it is written by which all who come under that mutual spirit of faith can believe and therefore offer the gospel.

2Corinthians 4:13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;

We can encourage him to suffer for the gospel but be careful that although we have the power in these bodies of death we would never to think it could be of us. The arrows of the wicked one against us are directed towards our husband Christ. Not at his bride the church..(We are healed by His stripes)

2Corinthians 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

Easier said than done, my friend. Troll threads are always amusing and a source of delight. One of the true pleasures on this site. Of course, in the end in becomes cloying and boring, with the usual outcome. Per usual.
sorry Mr. fun guy I didn't know jesus was boring to some BELIEVERS

Your not one of those who cannot move without thinking men hate you for your own righteousness sake in order to help Christ suffer are you? . Charles Mansion died feeling persecuted as if he was Jesus. Hatred was the food that drove him forward.

The motivation should be in respect to His love . He did all the suffering necessary as the Father bruised him, by those stripes we are healed of a eternal debt. . He wants us to live for Him to we can bring the good news .Why beat up your brother and sister in Christ. How will that end up at the end of the day?

As a former solder I would say that the military should not be glorified. The military itself is justified in the bible. It's an honorable thing to serve defending your country from those that would seek to destroy us if given the chance.
that is exactly what I am talking about Jesus says
Matthew 5:44, 26:52

If this person feels he is being persecuted for the Gospel it is unfounded.

Ok you said your god . Wondering do you believe Jesus is God ?
Also from your other posts I got the impression that you don't believe the whole Bible is inspired an infallible . Or did I get the wrong impression.
Blessings
