Father Snort

We've not faced persecution as Christians in America by governmental and religious authorities telling us we can't worship in our churches, will be killed for being Christian, or be exiled for being Christian. In Jesus' day, his disciples faced those possibilities. We do face people who don't agree with our beliefs and think we shouldn't hold them. In that case, we let them believe as they do and love them anyway. Others don't have to believe as we do. If we are rejected for our beliefs by people, we don't reject them in return. We love them.
