Subject: What is preaching Christ? |
Bible Note: Greetings Mitch! Sorry about the delay! I did not receive notification that you had responded. :-( Allow me to touch upon your questions: 1) The word 'with' indicates that persecution comes with it, but says nothing about the cause. 2) All Christians will face persecution according to Scripture, so I can't say that the persecution is because of the 100 fold or simply comes with it. Side Note: I am very particular about wording for a reason. Most false doctrine is easily disproven with Scripture. However, it usually is accepted because so many do not pay close attention to what the text actually says. It is very different to say, 'persecution accompanies blessing' or to say, 'persecution is caused by blessing'. The first is simply a statement of fact, the second is a statement of cause. So, if I seem particular, I am! ;-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
