The unfortunate thing about folks like her is that they immediately try to label me as "anti-American" (which she made allusion to in another thread). I actually have a fond admiration for the revolutionary history of the United States and wish they would adhere to that wonderful document called the Constitution. I suspect many problems would be resolved if their government did.
I am all for taking away government handouts You know how many times I have been in a store and had to buy what little I could afford while some leech spends 300+ bucks in food stamps then turns around pulls out a wad of cash to buy booze and lotto tickets and carts it out to a nice new $50,000 auto while I have to walk 1/2 mile. yeah government handouts need stopped.
Clinton is a joke, you say how much he helped the economy while he turned around and signed a document that sent manufacturing right out of the country that one act did more economic damage then anything Bush Jr did.
as for the not being Christ like statement. give a man a fish he eats for a day (welfare) teach a man to fish he eats for life (jobs) also remember the nice statement he who does not work shall not eat. However the Demoncrat party loves to give people fish for votes.
It is also demoncrat's who send letterheads to police departments telling the police that white people, Christians, pro 2nd amendment, anti abortion, pro ron paul are evil terrorist.
As I said before, ANY Christian voting for democrats is just like the frog giving the scorpion a ride across the river, cause those democrats would love nothing more then to see you dead

Well, I don't think any land has ever been Christian. The Roman Empire after Constantine was hardly Christian. I don't think that the papists were being persecuted. Now as to the real Christians, I really don't know the details of their history, since so far as I know, they didn't leave much in writing which the papists preserved. You do raise a good question to which I really don't know the answer.
What comes to mind is the Church of Ephesus, which left its first love, and had its lampstand removed, perhaps by Muslims in Asia Minor. Ephesus was not threatened with removal of lampstand via persecution. Then I think of Philadelphia, where they Lord opened a door that man could not shut.
Then there is lukewarm Laodicea, to be spewed out of the mouth.
Overt persecution seems to have not worked in the pagan Roman empire. I don't think it worked in Russia or China. I guess we may see how it works in the USA!
