Your reminder that the most-persecuted ethnicity on the globe are the Christians. Their worst tormentors are those who hold to the totalitarian ideologies of fundamentalist Islam and communism.

Many countries that appeal to our support on social media, are merciless toward the Christians within their own borders. Do not be fooled.

This is why I Nostr. ✝️

Christians need free speech. And we need it more than anyone else. Don't let them silence the Church. Do not forget your brothers and sisters in Christ. Let them be heard. Let them speak. Amen.

Amen to this! 🔥🙌🏻 Even more so important now in these last days, as even in the “free countries” laws are being passed that classify certain Christian positions as hate speech

Free speech is in a race to the bottom.

Except here.

I actually got censored for "hate speech" on Twitter because I quoted Genesis about the whole trans thing.

They be like, hold up, that's a Bible quote.

I don’t remember them mentioning that. https://youtu.be/IlkiFtCPXts?feature=shared

They mention that men and women are two different things.

On which album?

Not that Genesis. 😝🤣🤣🤣

Have you seen the lyrics to Willow Farm?!?

No. I have not.

“There's Winston Churchill dressed in drag,

He used to be a British flag, plastic bag, what a drag.”

And…

“Feel your body melt;

Mum to mud to mad to dad

Dad diddley office, Dad diddley office,

You're all full of bull.

Dad to dam to dum to mum

Mum diddley washing, Mum diddley washing,

You're all full of bull.”

Plus Peter Gabriel was likely wearing a dress when he sang that…

Fascinating. Thanks!

but but no they are not 🤣

the ideological foundation of feminism is precisely the assertion that man = woman, and logically that means there is no meaning or distinction between them so how can you have gender dysphoria when there is no such thing as a gender.

checkmate wokesters

Smh, that’s the inversion of truth in real time. Ironically if you had shared an OF page or clapped for the trans stuff, your post wouldn’t have been censored. Probably would have been boosted.

one of the most well known songs by Portishead contains a quote from The Epistle of Jude

"Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved, the blackness of darkness forever"

that's also hate speech against these "wandering stars" gee i wonder who Jude was talking about?

also, lol. "been talkin to jesus" by phil collins is a classic biblical style polemic against fake ass religion people. oh yeah there was a hilarious story in the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers called "telefundaligionism"

these millennials don't even know Genesis was Phil Collins (hah, who is a spook, apparently) and and Peter Gabriel (who is probably also a spook, just like most of the psychedelic/progressive rockers from the 60s and 70s)

Saint Paul was a gender abolitionist

Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Yes, Christians are all part of a new people and their souls are of equal worth in the eyes of Christ.

But, this is also St. Paul:

> A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. But women will be saved through childbearing — if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety. (1 Timothy 2:11–15)

> As in all the congregations of the saints, women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak but must be in submission, as the Law says. If they want to enquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in church. (1 Corinthians 14:33–35)

> Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Saviour. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. (Ephesians 5:22–24)

But Paul was human and humans are fallible and can be wrong or i interpret revelation wrong.

Take a position on any issue and a verse can be found to "support" it. Yay separation of church and state

Christians aren't an ethnicity. 😝

But yes.

They are. They're even a race of The Baptized.

I can't agree with that, but isn't important. 😁

> "But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his possession, so that you may proclaim the praises of the one who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people;

--1 Peter 2:9–10

Christians are called a race, a nation, and God's people. Perhaps that's where nostr:nprofile1qqsd6ejdteqpvse63ntf7qz6u9yqspp4z7ymt8094urzwm0x2ceaxxgpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezumrpdejz7qg3waehxw309ahx7um5wgh8w6twv5hszxmhwden5te0w35x2en0wfjhxapwdehhxarjxyhxxmmd9uyn3x3h gets "ethnicity"?

A pastor of mine once said that since Christians are a new creation we are a new species: Homo Christian

(that has nothing to do with being ghey, btw)

We're a new race of immortal beings, following the traditions and laws in the Word and with a defined person as leader. Feel like that's somehow important. Enough to be an ethnicity.

That's a fairly bad translation in my understanding. But sure. Ok. If you want to read it like that, yes. A race.

How would you translate race differently? All translations are a gloss; I suppose you can take your pick:

γένος (genos)

Strong: G1085

GK: G1169

offspring, progeny, Acts 17:28, 29; family, kindred, lineage, Acts 7:13, et al.; race, nation, people, Mk. 7:26; Acts 4:36, et al.; kind, sort, species, Mt. 13:47, et al.

from https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Peter%202%3A9-10&version=MOUNCE

I would lean towards lineage. Race, unfortunately, is relatively poisoned these days.

I'm indifferent to that.

yes, because of the raping bitch ass ruling class inseminating millions of innocent plebs for their amusement.

nothing has changed since the days of Noah, and it's still the same lineages doing it.

also, i very agree, lineage. anyone from a branch of their tree that came via rape is of course not necessarily brainwashed into becoming a piece of shit tho. but the legacy of the damage is everywhere visible.

🥴

There are two, world-wide, chronically-persecuted demographics that #GitCitadel is focused on creating Nostr infrastructure for:

1. Christians and members of other persecuted religious groups or philosophies

2. Academic dissenters and independents

We take the needs of both very seriously. If you have an interest in helping ensure we meet their needs, and discussing the possibilities for specific features that they might need, please contact nostr:npub1q6ya7kz84rfnw6yjmg5kyttuplwpauv43a9ug3cajztx4g0v48eqhtt3sh for the first group and nostr:npub1m3xdppkd0njmrqe2ma8a6ys39zvgp5k8u22mev8xsnqp4nh80srqhqa5sf for the second.

Thank you and GM.

Great GM!

Thank you ❤️‍🔥 Followed!

This right here

My parents in law have lived in one of the countries coloured orange for over 10 years.

They are white / British / non practicing catholic.

Other than access to alcohol being more difficult than in a ‘western’ country they have never felt any kind of persecution.

The previous ruler was also very pro British.

You say yourself, that they are not Christians.

Also, that a nation or it's residents doesn't persecute everyone does not mean it persecutes no one.

Fundamentalist Christians are just as bad as fundamentalist Muslims. Could easily make a flipped map that shows the opposite of this in terms of pursecution of Muslims/Islamophobia.

Seriously though, Ethiopia is a majority Christian country. And Egypt has a massive and highly influintial Christian minority. This reads more like a Catholic vs Orthidox debate that interfaith issue. 🤨

1) Don't be silly.

2) It, unfortunately, doesn't require Muslims to be in the majority of the entire country, for them to persecute Christians. Just look at Boko Haram.

Islam has been in Ethiopia since Mohammed, and the east is majority Muslim.

There is sectarian fighting within the Orthodox sects, but that doesn't mean there is no Muslim persecution.

3) Islam has been spreading in all of these countries and Christians are often forced to leave. Egypt is a rare, recent counter-example, moving from place 25/50 to place 40/50 on the persecution list, after the Muslim Brotherhood government was overthrown.

(Reminder to everyone that Hamas is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood.)

You do realise that Moses aka Moosa is from Shem aka Sudan/Ethiopia.

The fact that God explicitly tells Moses to take the arc of the covenant to Ethiopia for safe keeping, where it remains to this day.

Also, no western countries colonised Ethiopia, the Italians tried and failed and it's mainly due to the Christian West fearing God's retribution.

So, I mean

Funny, as a card-carrying Christian I don't *feel* persecuted...

Would it help if I said something mean? I don’t want to particularly but if it makes you feel better.

Yes, please do - I'm curious to find out what it feels like to be persecuted.

Hey you, you there with the crucifix on a necklace, stop it you ninny!

The people of Iran are good to Christians, but we have an Islamic dictatorship that restricts Christians. They are not allowed to preach Christianity and are always under surveillance.

I am aware. I have had colleagues from Iran, who were Christians and Zoroastrians. I think the latter actually have it harder, but the government definitely isn't keen on Bible thumpers.

Persecuted people need #Bitcoin and #NOSTR.

Let's raise awareness together.

Reminder...

This is just government propaganda so you dislike the middle east via religion while most of those regions have traditional family values that actually align with the nostr/ bitcoin community....

The west wants to change that to profit, similar to what they've done to the united states already.

But I thought Russia was pure evil?! Also, they’re seriously missing Ukraine circa 2022 onwards on that list. It’s an Eastern Orthodox crackdown of epic proportions under Zelensky.

LOL last I checked, no Muslims persecuted Jesus or his disciples, instead praise him and have him as one of their religious leaders, like Muhammad.

"Fundamental Islam" is equivalent to "fundamental Christianity" and if you don't know that back story, I have a whole dark ages and Crusade to tell you about.

I'm not Muslim, or Abrahamic, but it's pretty clear out of all three which is the closest to Abrahamic teachings.

Brah, you don't know what you don't know.

As I've said before, we are being robbed by the state of Israel rn, the Holy Land is under attack and being, literally, taken over.
