These incidents have raised several questions that Brannon Howse, author and founder of Worldview Weekend, agreed to answer:
CP: Would you consider these examples of intolerance shocking or unexpected?
Howse: Not at all. Jesus said all nations will hate you. If you are a Bible-minded believer such persecution should not be uncommon or a surprise," he stated, quoting 2 Timothy 3:12 "all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
CP: With 38,000 denominations declared as Christian, why does the world's intolerance seem focused on the smaller percentage who claims a Biblical lifestyle faith?
Howse: Many who have called themselves Christians were false converts. (II Cor. 7:10) There's lots of happy talk but many Christians are only committed to a culture war, surveying unbelievers to see what they want in a church, and creating feel good pop-culture within the church. Many Americans are wimps who don't want to suffer...don't want to be uncomfortable.Click here for complete article:http://www.christianpost.com/news/growing-intolerance-for-christianity-in-us-49588/
