FREEDOM: of WORSHIP or RELIGION?

The Word of God has suffered at the hands of many a tyrant who has tried to destroy it. Pagan kings of Israel/Judah had tried to wipe it out…but could not. After the period of Christ’s Ministry, the persecution of the Church began in earnest as Christianity spread to the western world.

The Indestructible Book still could not be stopped. The Jews preserved the aging Hebrew manuscripts when the 72 scholars translated, what we call the Old Testament, into Greek less than 2400 years ago in Alexandria, Egypt. The early Christians used this Greek translation of the “Old Testament” (called the Septuagint) as the basis of our Faith. Most Christians spoke Greek in the new territories, hence the appearance of the letters and Gospels of the New Testaments in Greek.

Copies of some precious documents, especially the New Testament still exist. The earliest copy of the New Testament is from 150 AD and was written/copied over just decades after John the Revelator wrote the original gospel Book of John! Today, that which was preserved, is again under assault.

But we don’t have to go far abroad to find instances of persecution of Christians in North America. Whether it is some school district banning six year olds from singing “God bless America”; or a leftist judge ruling that a teenage kid cannot wear his Christian Faith T-shirt to school or even  Orange County, California shutting down a Bible Study in somebody’s home….let me repeat that – INSIDE A COUPLE’S OWN HOME…it is happening now with rapid frequency in the United States.
