@thomasravish Um, It is, 2 Timothy 3:12 Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. That doesn't mean without joy, for james says to rejoice when we encounter trials of many kinds for the glory of God. The world will tolerate a quiet religious person, but it will not tolerate an outspoken radical Christian. We are in this world, not of it.
radical without love, risk taking, is religious fanaticism.
this is all this man is capable of.
typical legalism.
radical?? this is what the world seeks.
