Matthew 24:9 (New American Standard Bible)
9"(A)Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and (B)you will be hated by all nations because of My name.
Can't be the Romans as that was 1 nation. The scriptures say ALL nations.
24:9 speaks of the followers of Christ being hated by all nations

BTW...
Since all non Catholic Bibles have been HEAVILY edited since Martin Luther's time (both content, and in recent years even the substance to fit every tom dick and freak's own "desired" interpretations) my bible may not say the same things as yours.
I wasn't aware of any editing going on, and if you are referring to different translations, the the Catholics are just as involved in translation as everyone else. And I wasn't aware that Martin Luther was the first to translate the Bible.
Originally posted by galveston75It is what it says. Followers of Christ will be hated and persecuted.
Tell me who then as you totally disagree? Who???
I cant seem to understand your "who then" question.
The answer is "the followers of Christ" or "disciples of Christ".
Or are you nitpicking like the Pharisees?

I think it's funny that were in the non-trinitarian group, which is true, but we're buried out of view here....
And the point is almost all of these are held in high regards with society. Even standing hand and hand with the governments of the world in promoting or supporting wars and deaths of millions of innocent humans, and have been buddys with large corperations with lots of money ties involved..
Anyway we know who the world hates as Jesus warned.

By pure guesswork you are trying to claim that the JWs are the ones referred to in Matt 24:9.
And thats fine by me.

This is about having no opinion of his own. Not have to think. When you know how to copy and paste then you don't have to have any opinion. Just have a blind faith of that the source is correct, you don't even have to verify it. Just copy and paste.
