: The point is that we should be expecting such since it is what Christianity has left us as a legacy. If we aren't ready to face these things we should evaluate our faith, and if our faith is only leading to complacency and cushiness perhaps it lies in the wrong place. I don't think 'chicken soup' will fix either of those things.
I think you miss the point the persecution was coming from members of "the church" in the chicken soup story. we as brothers and sisters in christ should be bonded together for one another as christ is for us. the world at large should be put on notice that we as christians are not pushovers, that we strongly stand and fight for our faith. not fight in the physical sense but with the weapons of our warfare, the whole armor of GOD. If more christians would stand for what they say they believe then these legacies that we "expect" would not seem to run so rampant in the world as we know it. Then and only then will the world see what the love of GOD is really about.
