In response to Standard of Success posted by Twice__Pardoned:


.
Jesus actually says in scripture that Men will reject him because of us.
.
I think you may have that backwards.

Matt 10:22, Mark 13:13, Luke 21:17 - All men will hate you because of me...

Matt 24:9 - ... and you will be hated by all nations because of me.
.
But then John says (7:7) - The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify that what it does is evil.
.
And then in John 15:18 - If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.
.
Either way - you're hated because of Jesus, Jesus is hated because of you... it's a set up for a persecution complex, IMO.
