You have made us as the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people. - Lam 3:45
Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day. - 1Co 4:13
Christians are beginning to understand that the world hates them. Some act shocked while all are disappointed.
Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and you shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. - Mat 24:9
Blessed are you, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. - Luk 6:22
If the world hate you, you know that it hated me before it hated you. - Joh 15:18
So, we see that the Christian is not going to be popular with the world. We will be "despised and rejected of men" just as our Lord was and is.
In 2016 Hillary Clinton referred to us as "a basket of deplorables". She received a tremendous applause from her audience.
This was an eye opener to the Conservative populace but it should not have been.
Times change but people don't. A BigLie that Satan has sold to Christians is that Tolerance of the Wicked will cause them to 'be nice'.
Wrong! Just as Jesus is a StumblingBlock and a RockOfOffence, so is every professing Christian.
I say 'professing' because it is the Spoken Word, our Testimony that is offensive.
Somehow Christians convinced themselves (I wonder who inspired this idea) that the Faith should be a private thing - something they held in their Heart and kept to themselves.
Wrong! We are Salt and Light and are commanded to Preach the Gospel to every creature. (Mar 16:15)
We are to storm the GatesOfHell! (Mat 16:18)
When we do the above (be Obedient to Christ) we will be treated as the Offscouring of the world (Unbelievers).
