The Lie of Christian Persecution

This is a huge lie.  This lie has already cost thousands of innocent people their lives.  Allowing this lie to continue will cost millions more (maybe as many as billions) people their lives in the very near future.

Unfortunately most people believe this lie.  Most people practice this lie.  Yes, even most Christians regulary practice this lie.

All lies are of Satan.  Therefore all who practice these types of lies are acting for Satan, and are against God.

I used to practice this lie too.  By posting this, I repent that former lie, and ask for God's forgiveness and cleansing.

I want to expose this lie and the evil that it causes, contributes to, or enables.

I am not the first who warns of this lie.

At Christmas, a video was released of 11 Christians who were forced to wear orange jumpsuits, then they were beheaded by Islamic Jihadist terrorists.  They died because they were Christians.  It was't just these 11 Christians who have been killed.  More than 16,000 Christians in Nigeria have been killed due to their religion in the last 3 years.

Islamic Jihad terrorists consider Christians to be worthy of death.  Similar Islamic terrorism was practiced by Mohammad (the founder of Islam), and has continued on a repeated, similar basis ever since, down through the last 1,370 years.

Most Muslims claim that Islam is a religion of peace, and that Islamic jihad terrorists misinterprit the Q'uran.

I understand that all or most Q'urans are printed or approved by a central Islamic authority.  Madras schools that teach Islam are often funded, supported, and overseen by local mosques, or these central authorities.  If there are a few verses in the Q'uran that are often misinterpreted, has there not been sufficient time passed (ie. more than 1,370 years since Mohammad) to correct these misinterpretations, add a clarifying footnote, add an Islam course in the Madras schools, and similar efforts?

Muslims continue to reassure, argue and promote this "Islam is a religion of peace" mantra for more that 1,300 years.  However, terrorism and murder continues to be done in the name of Islam.  Their assertion is clearly contradicted by the objective evidence.  Hopefully, all Muslims will soon reach a state of Cognitive Dissonance (ie.  It is a sign of insanity to continue to believe "A" when there is overwhelming quantity and quality of objective evidence proving that "A" is a lie).

Occupation under ISIS and other Islamic extremists quickly convinced the people in Syria, Iraq, and elsewhere about how much love and peace could be found under Islam.  That is why more Muslims have converted to Christianity in the last 15 years than since Islam began 1400 years ago. 

Once a Muslim converts to Christianity, they become a prime target for persecution by their family, neighbours, community, former Imam, local Warlord (ISIS or otherwise) and national government.  Some converts to Christianity are killed immediately, others are offered a choice:

• become a Muslim again, 

or

• die as a Christian.

Free choice of conversion adds to the rabid hatred of those who have always been Christians.  These life-long Christians in Islamic countries are also persecuted and killed.  Muslims want their countries to become monoblocks of 100% Muslim.

Clearly, Mohammad was a War Lord.  Mohammad's Qu'ran calls on all Muslims to jihadism, and to kill the infidels (NB:   "Infidels" is defined as all non-Muslims, including Christians).  ISIS and other Islamists have been acting as a Warlord, following Mohammad's example.

However, it isn't just Muslim jihad terrorists who are involved in this Satanic lie.

Christians, pagans, atheists, agnostics, and most others are also guilty of this lie.

This type of lie has been around for quite some time.  While it may have been described by a different title over the years, perhaps this lie and sin is as old as Adam & Eve.

More recently, Mark Twain wrote about the "lie of silent assertion" around the 1900's.

Mark Twain described how this same technique of lying was used to permit slavery to occur and continue in USA, and that slavery was only denounced after Christian Ministers of the Northern States started to speak against slavery on Sunday sermons.

Beside persecution in the Middle East, developing world, and Third World (95 countries in all) we also have the Lie Of Silent Assertion in the Bible, Christian dogma (contrast & compare different denominations), salvation, and iniquity.  All these and more are hot points of avoidance, & more lies of silent assertion today.

I do not want to be involved with any lie of silent assertion, half truths, avoidance, sugar coating, euphemisms, willful blindness, nor anything similar.

The lie of silent assertion is a passive lie, and a passive sin.  Some say:

"Ignore it, and it will go away"

However, we can be guilty of turning a blind eye to something, also called willful blindness.  If someone has a duty of due diligence, or to properly manage, steward, or protect, then wilfull blindness can be a crime or a tort, making the victim able to seek compensation.

In the Bible, Ephesians 5:11 tells us:

“Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead even expose them”

I have spoken up against the slaughter of Christians.  Will you do likewise?

Pew Research has shown that 95 countries in the world will persecute people for having a prohibited faith; Christianity being the most persecuted of all, more than 245 Million Christians around the world.  Approximately 75% of the world's population live under the constant threat of persecution and death from choosing a religion.

Today, every 6 minutes someone is killed for being a Christian.

It is estimated that 58% of the 7 Million refugees from Iraq and Syria are Christians, subject to persecution, torture, attack, or death.  Now is the worst time for Christian persecution since 300 AD.

If you choose to ignore or procrastinate this lie, you are:

• Strengthening your sin muscle;
• Crushing the Holy Spirit within you;
• Making it more likely that you will sin, lie, or accept them in the future;
• Becoming more and more fossilized in lies and sin over time.  

There are 7 degrees of lies, you are on your way to earning your 7th Degree Black Belt in the art of lying and sin.

Remember these persecuted Christians.  End your lie of silent assertion.

Protect all those who will be persecuted next.

Remember the post-war confession first made in German in 1946 by the German Lutheran pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984). His poem is about the cowardice of German intellectuals and certain clergy (including, by his own admission, Niemöller himself) following the Nazis' rise to power and subsequent incremental purging of their chosen targets, group after group, as follows:

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
