-Should American Christians Now Expect Some Persecution?
“If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you.” -John 15:18 (ESV)
When was the last time a conservative Christian was fairly represented in the media? Where are the positive examples of believing Christians that use to populate the movies and TV shows in former years? All gone, except in that special breed of movies and TV programs that are produced specifically for people of faith.
Christians and Christianity are also under assault in most colleges and universities across America except at those special institutions catering to believers. But in California, current legislation is seriously being considered that would destroy the distinctive moral codes of behavior at Christian institutions thereby putting faith-based colleges in jeopardy.
Now the religious liberty of Christian pharmacists in the state of Washington is under assault after the recent Supreme Court non-decision. Then there was the aftermath of recent Islamic terrorist event in Orlando where folks in the media blamed Christians. Plus literally hundreds of church related faith-based organizations and Christian owned businesses are facing an assault by the Obama Administration’s HHS Contraceptive and Abortifacient Mandate.
We haven’t even mentioned the worse attack on Christians, Christian business owners, and Christian organizations being waged successfully by LGBT activists which are trumping religious liberty nearly at will since the SCOTUS decision to allow same-sex marriage and then the Obama administration’s recent executive order on the transgender bathroom issue followed closely by the order to hospitals to do sex-change operations and abortions regardless.
What is really shocking to me is that the majority of American Christians are not fully aware of how their rights are being diminished and how the First Amendment is being reinterpreted and rewritten by the courts. It doesn’t become real to most until they are personally faced with being forced to go against their religious convictions and faith. Well the time may be coming soon when American Christians will either have to give up on the Bible and their traditional understanding of Christianity or face the beginning of some type of persecution and the loss of jobs and some kinds of occupations and businesses.
I see no political solution coming for this in 2016 regardless of the election. We have been warning about this possibility for the last ten years and many said that we were over- the- top and alarmist at best. I really do hope that they are right and what we actually see in the future is a new awakening and revival in America. At least that is what we are praying for.
Here’s another take that addresses some of these same issues facing American Christians: “The Terrorist Attack at Pulse in Orlando Signals Open Season on Christians”

By “praying for a revival,” do you mean “hoping that America devolves into a brutal theocracy” by any chance?
But sorry to rain on your parade, the answer to your question is no. Even after the Pulse attack, the only Christians really being persecuted for it, if you can even call it that, were people like Pastor Roger Jimenez, who lost his lease. Why? Because of his delightful, loving sermons in which he prayed for not only every single injured survivor from the club to drop dead, but also for every single homosexual to face a firing squad. Now, I don’t agree with the ACLU on much, but they certainly nailed fundies on the whole virulent homophobia thing. Furthermore, why do you people care so much about the bathroom thing? And don’t say it’s because they’re a threat to your children, because that’s a lie and you know it. You know who’s more likely to molest your child, across the board, in all different faiths and denominations than trans people? Preachers.
As for the school thing, if you guys intend to get government funding for your schools, you’re gonna have to play by government rules, and discrimination is kind of a no-go these days. And your claim about Christians being forced to perform sexual reassignment surgeries, [CITATION NEEDED].
It’s funny how you funding loons are so convinced that you’re an oppressed, persecuted minority, when Christianity is by far the largest religious demographic, and you have an entire political party dedicated to serving your every whim (two if we count Libertarians like Ron Paul).

…So what? The elect are each ‘delivered up’… most of the rest will cop out to the anti-christ. Mainly cause they have church leaders who don’t really KNOW the prophecy…or the reality of the order of events: what comes to pass before
Christ returns at the second coming.
The so called “truths” these impostors are passing along to their flocks, are the traditions of man, NOT the truth of the WORD. Judgement begins at the pulpit.
