Christianity is considered a mental abnormality by a hostile government

“The people answered and said, you have a devil: who goes about to kill you?”

John 7:20

“So he changed his behavior before them, pretended madness in their hands, scratched on the doors of the gate, and let his saliva fall down on his beard.” 1 Samuel 21:13 

Today, the followers of Christ must look like madness for scratching on the doors of the gate that enters into the presence of God. We want our body, the temple of God, to be the home of the Holy Spirit. However, the thing that has the ability to form thoughts, emotions, and feelings can drive a person to absolute madness when trying to live in the Spirit of Christ. They are vigilant against those who oppose allowing the image of the beast to live and speak through them. We do not want to be locked into a lifestyle in opposition to the Gospel of Christ by what we say and do. We oppose being conformed to the mark of the beast.

Jesus Christ was repeatedly referred to as being a madman, demon-possessed, and not being rational. Yet, it was His zeal for the house of God which gave Him the appearance of madness. “Then His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for Your house has eaten Me up.” John 2:17 Jesus Christ wants our body, His house, to be filled with the image of Christ, not the image of the beast.

“Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers doing business. When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers’ money and overturned the tables. And He said to those who sold doves, “Take these things away! Do not make My Father’s house a house of merchandise!” Then His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for Your house has eaten Me up.”

John 2:13-17

“Then Achish said to his servants, “Look, you see the man is insane. Why have you brought him to me? Have I need of madmen, that you have brought this fellow to play the madman in my presence? Shall this fellow come into my house?” 1 Samuel 21:14-15 Those who live and govern for this present system have no beliefs beyond human rationale. They embrace humanism rooted in the thing which forms thoughts, feelings, and behaviors rooted in the image and mark of the beast. They consider belief in the resurrection from the dead, the remission of sin through Jesus Christ, demons, and eternal life to be an abnormality in human thought processes. They do not want us in their house, they do not want us to be in their “democratic” society. They even deny that they are killing Christianity.

The people answered and said, you have a devil: who goes about to kill you?

And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, “He has Beelzebub,” and, “By the ruler of the demons He casts out demons.

John 7:20

“For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.” 1 Corinthians 1:18-19

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:1
