I will have to agree that a warning should be posted. The warning I propose is as follows: Warning! These articles are about Christians that are following God. They are not putting the Russian Government up as a God before them. They are doing no more than many of the Great Men of God have done thru the years. Isn't that what the early christian life was all about? People were fed to lions because they refused to bow down to the governmental Gods.. Even in later history where would our churches be without men that refuse to hold Mans Laws up above Gods law. Men like Wycliffe and Tyndale noted for again smuggling Bibles because it was against the law. Praise God for all the men that gave up their lifes to follow Gods laws, not mans laws. In regards with teachings of the Bible: Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I will be with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:18-20 He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. Mark 16:15 The above verses uses the word "all," not just where the law allows you to preach the Gospel. I will be unable to post the next section of the Article on Russia tommorow. I will post it on Monday.
