Any good sources on historical Christians avoiding persecution?

As in strategy and tactics. In school they taught us about drawing half a fish in the sand, so I figure there might be a whole set of activites that could become useful again.

if god wants us to be persecuted we will be persecuted and there is no way out of it but through him and faith in what we were told.

"no weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from me,” declares the LORD."

Still lame how God allows evil people like Edmontonians to exist.

>Are you vaccinated?

If they say 'no' you're in good company

Hah, I already do this. But I also know lefties that aren't vaxed. So I like the idea, it just needs to get more specific somehow.

Looks like it could have some useful info, thanks.

Avoiding persecution? Hell no. We fight and we kill our enemies. That is the only realistic way. Humans are warriors. That's what evolution is. They either win or lose.

You want to lose and leave sketches in the sand? I think not.

12 million inbred hypochondriacs are done and gone the minute we begin.

When all you have is a hammer, everything starts looking like a nail.

If you believe no one would ever deliberately harm you, you're not healthy in the head.

Not my point. I'm sure at least one enemy is planning on people behaving exactly as you described. I'm saying there should be more tools in the toolbox. Even if you want to fight, you're not doing it with institutional support. Or majority support. Or even significant minority support. Every group that is outside the mainstream ha used defensive communication strategies. It's either extremely ignorant or fed-y to suggest ignoring them.
