Why the world persecutes, hates Christians and God
Q: Why is it that people openly hate on God and Christianity? It’s everywhere. I rarely see or hear about people making fun of other religions, always ours!
I’m not saying other religions should be hated on too, but why do they hate Christianity so profoundly?
A: Because their sinful nature is at emnity with God. They're enemies of God and truth.
Romans 8:6–8
“For to set the mind on the flesh is death...For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God’s law; indeed, it cannot...
Romans 1:28–32, mentions people who, “being filled with all unrighteousness,” act against God in thought and deed.
Colossians 1:21 says they are “alienated from and enemies of God in their minds by wicked works”.
Romans 1:28
"And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which ought not to be done."
"And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which ought not to be done."
John 3:19–20
“And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed.”
1 Corinthians 2:14
“The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.”
John 15:18–19
“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.”
Ephesians 2:1–3
“And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.”
1 Corinthians 1:18
“For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.”
The basic answer is: We speak the truth and they hate it. We stand for what's true, and righteous, but they love sin.
There's 2 religious systems in this world, God's and the Satanic system. All false religions and beliefs man has, (including false Christian ones) are of the latter. Only biblical Christianity is of God.
If you experienced this, or saw it happening by people around you, it means you are aware, or are persecuted for the truth.
Here are resources to help you, for equipping you to proclaim the Gospel truth, in love.
And this helps with Spiritual warfare.
God bless
