  1. Don't ever let them think you are alone because you are never alone. Your brothers and sisters in christ are always praying for you and are always with you. Even if they completely isolate the country from the outside world we will still come to help you. Keep fighting the good fight.

  2. Define what you mean by cult?

  3.  @Oggyoggy2833  I guess Jesus didn't get that memo because according to Tacitus, Pliny the Younger, Josephus and a lot of other sources from the first 2 centuries after Christs death the Romans regarded Christianity as the religion of the Poor because that's how it spread. And if you think Jesus was part of some dominant class you might want to look up some facts about Nazareth because there is a reason why Nathaniel the Canaanite asked the question, "Does anything good come from Nazareth?" John 1:46. Nazareth was in fact a backwater in the tail end of nowhere, and even his fellow Galileens, the region Nazareth was in, kept their distance from. Kinda like today in the US where unless you are from the deep south or you have family there no one really goes to. No offense to any readers who are southern just making a comparison. I don't know what the Chinese equivalent for such towns would be in China but if the image strikes a chord well there you go that would be Nazareth.

  4. General George Washington once stated that what separates the Christian from all other peoples is that he would rather die on his feet then live on his knees. In case you are thinking it's because we fight or make wars or whatever the counter argument may be, no, it's actually because we know heaven awaits us when we die. If someone handed you a fully paid ticket to Hawaii, or whatever your dream vacation is or the place you want to retire to or whatever just the place you feel the happiest, with hotel and everything do you honestly think threats and intimidation, or actual violence is going to bother you? Thats just a place on Earth now imagine the promise of heaven. The Bible repeatedly teaches us to not be afraid. If persecuted pray for our persecutors and if we are put on trial use it as an opportunity to preach God's true message but when it comes to death do not fear. That's what George Washington is really describing about Christians. You can intimidate us, you can threaten us, you can even kill us, but we have nothing to be afraid of because we know where we will be. If you want to correct that with belief, fine makes no difference to me that's still our attitude. Doesn't it ever strike you as odd that Christian history is filled with martyrs so willing to go to their deaths for their beliefs? And I don't mean in battle although that has happened too, I mean being executed for their beliefs.
