On my injuries, suffered at hands of communists

keep the faith!

The struggle is real. Besides what He said all believers would endure. I know a little about injuries myself, having been beaten by around 10 blacks when they curb stomped me when I was 16, broke arm / shoulder and very bad hemorage, thankfully I was able to roll out, spring to my feet and pretended I had a weapon and they ran off. Another 2 times I suffered brain hemorrhages when I was jumped from behind by gangs of Mexicans (5 or more each time) and they also got me on the ground and kicked me in the head many times, bad bleeding on the brain etc. Walking death after that. I know what it's like to be beaten with clubs as well, communist cops in Europe had no issue cheapshotting me. Also one other major time a communist cheap-shotted me for reading the Bible as what it says about true Israel being the Celtic and Kindred nations. I’ve had a few strokes in training / body building so I also got to take it easy, but don't give up anyone. YAHWEH can still use you like He used others who say the truth. Be wise as serpents, gentle as doves. No need to go to protests, they find you and protest on you, as it says even of the believers "they killed all their own prophets". Jhn 15:18-19 "If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before [it hated] you. 19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you." Jhn 16:33 "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." (He has also given us favor with man and the blessings through His blood as He Himself said He wants to showcase you as how he rewards the faithful true Israel. We'll be saved through all trials, and "No weapon formed against thee shall prosper, for their righteousness is if Me, and every tongue that rises against you in judgment ye shall condemn.")

Although the Apostle Paul was well known calling the other believers whores, adulterers, etc and need to repent, there's no place where it says they were allowed to rebel from him on that basis. He continued to use the word whore to describe the groups of rebellious Christians, as Christ also used it. Some repented, some were removed.

Neither was it ok to rebel simply because he was beaten beyond recognition. He was stoned to death 3 times, and had received the cat of 9 tails whipping of 39 lashes , whipped to death 3 times. and beaten to death with clubs too. It could not be an excuse that because he had those injuries in his body, that they were now allowed to rebel. His body was far from perfect and near death a lot, but walked in faith.

The word and law of YAHWEH stood, regardless of his physical condition. So the faithful remained as they should, and did not dare slander him for his injuries as a reason to continue in their sins.

People of this generation also have no excuse, simply because the ones telling the truth are more persecuted. Christ said you will be persecuted, and rejoice and be glad when it happens, for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you, and great is your reward in heaven.

Yours in Christ
