Thank you for your post 😇

I was born and raised in Japan. People are not afraid of being executed by being a Christian today. They think Christianity is just like other cult. Most of people don't believe Jesus is the son of God and many don't know He is the way to Heaven. School teaches you He is just like other profit. However, there are many Christians in Japan and everywhere in the world today. I pray for more Japanese people would be saved. ❤

They have their own religion 💀. Shinto, and just like Christian’s, they imposed that religion on others in the past century. Of course you weren’t going to see a bunch of Japanese people practicing Christianity. “The church” largely doesn’t exist there because their history and traditions are completely different.

Better to pray for Western Christians who are lost in Woke society, promoting Gay and other satanic practices.😂😂

@breadandcircuses8127it’s history, my brother. Islam started by enforcement.

Race and culture may not matter now, but it certainly mattered back then. It was a sin to marry outside of race and culture back then. Those who did were shunned and chased out. That was standard for just about every culture and religion until recently. I'm amazed at how Christianity evolved and is continuing to evolve into something better.

@@kennytendo7255This is an inherently incorrect statement, Christianity, and the Bible for that matter has never encouraged separation of the races, the idea of people belonging to different races is a relatively recent and secular belief. That being said certain “Protestant” churches have condoned racism in the past, but these groups shouldn’t be considered Christian as they choose to follow the traditions of man over The LORD.

Yup, Islam is all based on fear and hate. There would be few Muslims if they did not keep the fear & hate constantly churning.

​@@SpicyTexan64 Just before I left for Japan, I worked in a Mario Murillo crusade in Abilene, Tx. A young black girl came up to be prayed for. I asked the Holy Spirit to minister to her and she started vibrating real fast. I asked God what is going on. I heard God say clearly, "It's a demon, take authority over it." So I said loudly, "You unclean spirit come out of her in the Name of Jesus Christ! She bent backwards at the waist, to where her back was almost parallel to the floor. Then in an incredibly swift motion she came upright and projectile vomited towards me. When I was in Bible School at an evening service, a guy was preaching and had given an altar call. People were at the front kneeling and some were standing, some were weeping. And the preacher said, some of you students need to come up and minister. I was real tired. We had services every day and twice on two days. And this was an evening service. So I prayed and told God, "Lord if you'd like me to minister to someone please show me. So I just pan the crowd, hoping that I wouldn't have to do anything. But as I looked across the people one guy on his knees kept standing out. Like if you see a single tree in a forest of trees. So I finally got up and put my hands on his back and pray quietly. But he starts heaving, like dry heaves. Like trying to like throw up, with no success. So I keep praying and some young kid walks up and matter of factly says, "That's a demon." So I look at him and say, "Naw, he's just being inner healed." But the kid grabs him by the shoulder and flips him over. The guy was as stiff as a board. He's in the same position that he was in, only on his side. The kid starts to pray for him and his throat blows up like a balloon, like real thick, and his eyes flip back in his head ... and there's snake eyes looking out at me from where his regular eyes should be. So I'm freaked. I look at the kid and say nervously, "That's a demon!"

​​@@SpicyTexan64 You've just experienced Christianity Lite. Like where all kinds of stuff just mystically ceased to occur at a particular moment of time, that no one can really pinpoint and for no apparent reason. The worldview in the US is secular humanism, so Satan wants to keep it that way. He wants people in America to believe only in what you can see, taste, hear or touch. Materialism is our worldview. And that means as long as he can go undetected, he is for all practical purposes non-existent. You're like a blind combatant in a war that you're not really sure exists.

If what you say is true why isn't Japan more Christian now? It is still less than 1%.

Amazing insight.

If JESUS CHRIST IS LORD AND SAVIOR, THEN YOU ARE A SAINT ⭐️Romans 8:27-37 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition 27 And He Who searches the hearts of men knows what is in the mind of the [Holy] Spirit [what His intent is], because the Spirit intercedes and pleads [before God] in behalf of the saints according to and in harmony with God’s will.

@@iamanovercomer3253 Romans 8:8-9 NASB 8 and those who are in the flesh cannot please God. [9] However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. If your mind is set on the flesh, you cannot please God. Why? Because when the Spirit of God is in you, you are not in the flesh. A Christian was supposed to believe that their "body of flesh" was co-crucfied with Christ, Romans 6:6. This is faith that places you into Christ, or more particularly, it places you IN HIM. And all the promises of God for you are yes and amen IN HIM. In HIM = ABIDING IN HIM. Therefore, if you are living after the flesh, you cannot be in faith... and it is impossible to please God without faith. Romans 8:8 says that when you are living after the flesh, you do not have the Spirit of God in you. And without the Spirit you cannot have real faith. Romans 1:5 & 16:26 says "the obedience of faith". Therefore, whenever you disobey Christ, you are in unbelief.

Wow! The traditional Japanese family is falling apart: *Matthew 10:37* “Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.” *Luke 14:26* “If anyone comes to me and does not hate their father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters - yes, even their own life - such a person cannot be my disciple."

@breadandcircuses8127bread, Christianity is NOT getting more traction in Japan. Sadly, it is dying off.

@breadandcircuses8127 Because of blind faith: *Mathew 15.21-24* "Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. A _Canaanite_ woman came to him, crying, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.” Jesus answered, 'I was sent _only_ to the lost sheep of *Israel.'* The woman came and knelt before him. 'Lord, help me!' she pleaded. He replied, 'It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the *dogs.'"*

Most Japanese believers do not talk about what goes on with them. Check out the Japan reporter he has a vidoe about how it is being a Christian’s in Japan. Some Japanese belivers are facing hatred or bullying for there beliefs. Now the Christian Faith it self is def attacked with all the blasphemy in the media worldwide and in anime. Check out little light studios anime for more knowledge on the anti God agenda is many anime. Not all anime is bad it’s just like western media there’s some messed up stuff

@@frillylily8005 I was a fan of manga and they're all bad, you can feel the spirit of the antichrist !

It's like everything in Japan is about getting the best grades, the best promotions, the best raise ever and working for the best company (putting in 70 hour work weeks.) Christians will not get any of these things. There are some Christian companies. I remember one, where I was. I think it was Nakamura, maybe a woodworking factory or something?

@@charlespackwood2055 You're exaggerating. The Japanese I know who are Christian are working for some of the best companies in Japan. As for 'Christian companies', how many of those do we have in America? A business enterprise shouldn't be in the business of promoting one set of beliefs, at least not for major companies. I'm a Christian, but I don't support that.

I found the culture there quite different from the US. Everything is more subdued. There is communication in subtleties and nuances that go way beyond mere language. One of there sayings goes something like: "It is the nail that stands up which gets hammered down." So what is celebrated in Japan is kinda your ability to blend in to the group. To become like invisible and indistinct from the group. Now in practice, this makes virtually every church resemble a cult. That was a thought that I often battled in Japan: "My church is a cult. It like worships it's pastor." Even the Australian girl that I kind of replaced gave me enuendos that the church I was at was a cult; that they worshiped their pastor. But Australians are amazing. They are like Americans back in the wild West: rugged individualists. She was a girl, but the way she came across, you just knew she was tough, thru-and-thru. So their world-view is similar. And because you come to a culture with a world-view, you actually see that culture from a particular slant. Most churches in America don't come close to worshiping their pastor. But the pastor at my church was idolized. What you didn't know was that he took in people that were mentally obliterated by a cultural pressure that emphasized an incredible work load and an uncanny loyalty to both company and the boss. These people he would take in and nurture them back to health. Japan actually had a term for a condition which was unique to Japan. It was a mental and emotional psychosis brought on by a pressure to perform and long work hours. These people were so broken down and seemingly discarded, but the pastor would work with them slowly, tenderly and patiently, nurturing them back to health. Unselfish love is an incredible power towards those who feel abandoned by family and society, and just can't seem to get up any more. But should they finally make a comeback, they are completely loyal to that love. So you come in from outside and see this taking place, (with limited knowledge of the motives, the context of what is happening or the language) and you become bombarded with the thoughts of: "Dude, this is a cult." An American world-view sees an incredibly, tight knit group of people that operates just like a family, as a cult. And you start thinking: "Dude, if they break out the kool-aide, I ain't drinking it. I don't care how thirsty I am!" So what I can say is, that Satan, in a church in Japan, causes psychological warfare in an American's mind, which is like seeing things totally negative based strictly from an American cultural perspective. We are first and foremost individuals in America. But in Japan, everything revolves around your particular sphere of acceptance. So when you are in your community sphere, that is your life. So the good thing is: if the heart of the leadership is right, the church in Japan can approximate the early church in Acts like perhaps no other country in the world: in love, in sacrifice, in unity and in vision. They would be the samurais of love, to the death.

Roman Catholics are NOT Christian; they are neo-Roman Pagans (Unable to quash Christianity, Constantine figured, if you can’t beat um, join um . . . but with some caveats: Jupiter became the Lord; Venus became Mary; 12 other Roman gods > Christ's 12 Disciples; Roman Senate > Council of Cardinals; Provincial governors > bishops; the Roman Emperor (Constantine) became the Archbishop of Rome, ie. The Pope; Rome became the Vatican; the Roman Empire became the Roman Catholic Church).

​​@@E.CarrilloLord Jesus said "for where two or three are gathered together in my name I am there among them" better than going to some false church which allows any and anything just to keep the numbers up. That's what I see today, women preachers, perversion, women not covering their heads, weak men and all sorts in churches today. Holiness is a rarity in the churches of today and this is what God requires of us, to be holy. Going to some false church as a check box action is not being holy.

​@@resjon7981fair point.

​@@E.CarrilloYou don't have to attend to church to fulfill that command, you just have to have fellowship. Church is just the most common way and easy way of doing that because it pretty much just requires to show up every Sunday and that's it. Bible studies can also fulfill the command of fellowship and you actually get to participate in it and form more personal relationships with other Christians in your group while also building each other's relationship in God higher.

Christianity did not begin with the Jesuits, it began with the Nestorians coming to Japan before Buddhism. Read, Japan: The Nation of the Cross by Ken Joseph. Japan was at the end of the Silk Road. From Jerusalem pilgrims could walk to Japan in eight years; by horse they could make it in 4 years. Over the centuries many people fleeing persecution in other lands came to Japan. By the 6th century Japan was knows as an island of freedom with an advanced culture and a constitution (centuries before the Magna Carta in England) established by Shotoku Taishi, the father of Japanese Buddhism. Shotoku Taishi is known to have accepted the Nestorians. Joseph's research has shown: 1. The tea ceremony (chado) is derived from Christianity's communion service, and the master of the Ura senke School of Teas, Sen no Rikyo, was a Christian. 2. An Assyrian helmet with a cross is at the Gojikai Temple Museum in Fukuoka. 3. A Nestorian monument stands in the old cemetery on Mount Koya which was once the site of the Eastern Church. Monks continue to make the sign of the cross at the beginning of their early morning ceremonies. 4. Remnants of the New Testament, brought back from China in the 8th century can be seen in a temple in Kyoto. 5. A large 8th century statue in Gunma is marked with the letters I.N.R.I (King of the Jews).

not really, even before Constantine, Christianity flourished in small communities as well as nations like Armenia and Ethiopia. But, even today REAL Christians are persecuted. It also has the most truth in it's scripture ex. Prophecy of the Roman empire, before it even began. Thanks for the input about Constantine, Godbless you brother

Even though there were Christian Groups in Armenia etc , Rome was on a conquering spree & once these regions were conquered they would have come under Persecutions & Christians would have to go underground like the other places , but thanks to Constantine who became the Emperor of entire East & West & his decree went all over, not only that, he arranged for the spread of Christianity & also arranged for Christian migrations under the Roman seal , Like from Edessa (urhai) a group of Families with a Bishop, deacons (a full pledged Church) on 3 ships having the flag of Edessa , the Roman Cross & King David flag landed in South India , were welcomed by the local King in 345 AD As for Edessa , It was one of the First Christian center , whose King Abgar an Arab, heard about Jesus & his persecuton by the Jews, send word to Jesus inviting him to come & live in his country peacefully, to which Jesus send back word that he would not come but would send his representative in due course , when came Mar Mari & Mar Addai the pair off the 72 Disciples (from whom came the Doctrine of Mari & Addai,, the oldest known Apostolic Liturgy) the King was greatly pleased at seeIng them remembering the words of Jesus, welcomed them, the first king to become a Christian & he arranged for them to preach Christ across his kingdom, while there was heavy Persecutions going on in Rome & Jerusalem ,thus Edessa went on to become a major center of Christian learning, a safe place for early Christians inc the Jews who accepted their Messiah, During the latter part of the 2nd centuary there was born in Edessa in the land of Abgar , to a Christian Greek innkeeper's daughter Helena a son , who went on to become Constantine the Great , leading to the Edict of Milan, Now, after Edessa King sent word to Jesus inviting him, it is said that Jesus washed his face & moped it dry with a piece of Cloth & the Image of his face became imprinted on the cloth, It is reasoned that his strong Emotion was what caused his face to be imprinted on the cloth, which Cloth became called the MANDYLION come as a gift from Jesus to Abgar through Mar Addai & Mar Mari , which eventually became a priced pocession of the Byzantine Empire (sometimes mistaking it for the Shroud of Turin by Archeologists, but is not) In the year 1204 or so the Mandylion was lost due to the sacking of Constantinople by the 4th Frank Crusades, sent by the then Pope to free Jerusalem from the Turks but ended up attacking Constantinople against the Popes orders for which they were ex communicated , nevertheless caused a permanent rift between the East & the West ,in this rebellious act by the Franks was seen the hand of the Anti Christ The SCENT of Freemasonry, (orginated from the time of Herod) later manifested as the "Enlightened Napoleon " who attacked the Catholic Church resulting in the death of a Pope & Imprisonment of another, when Russia, utterly defeated him & later the other Anti Christ Hilter, Today the White House, the Biblical White Horse of the Apoclapse the political seat of FREEMASONRY mingled with THEOSOPHY revealing Zechariah 5, the two lamb like horns off the 2nd Beast of revelations,, to an Authentic Catholic Prophecy "The west think they are their own creators (exposes the serpents Lie at Eden -- Ye be as gods (without God) Man as God, Salvation shall not come from the west but from a (Consecrated) Russia," Constantine's Byzantine reborn, in continuation of the truth of the MANDYLION ---

When I lived in Iceland in the early '90s, about 25% of the population was Christian. Now, it seems to have shrunk to 10% or less. It truly breaks my heart that so many of the Icelanders have turned their backs on the LORD to follow secular heathenism or the old Viking religion. I love Iceland dearly and I pray for an Awakening to take place with thousands turning to King Jesus for Salvation.

Is it oppression and persecution though? I doubt that as there isn't really any evidence that demonstrates those claims. Rather, it is due to education. And that is a good thing.

What an awful thing to state. And yet ironically, most Christians I have met don't have morals. Rather than take responsibility for their own poor actions, they off load their guilt onto their imaginary sun god, then go back to being the same awful person they were before. The 10 commandments? Oh please.

Mary is the Mother of the second person of the most Blessed Trinity, what does that make her if not the Mother of God. The Blessed Virgin endowed with all of God's Graces is the most perfect human ever created by God and this was to bring forth the Messiah. You must NEVER describe the Holy Mother of God, and Our mother as ordinary, how dare you.

And do not repeatedly display your stupidity by saying Catholics regard The Blessed Virgin MARY as a Goddess. We do not regard her as that that type of pagan entity, we regard her as the Holy Mother of God on whom God has bestowed every Grace and Blessing, you have no idea what you're talking about.

@@bernadineperry8340 where in the word of GOD the bible does it say that? Get me a king James version and tell me

Amen. The Catholic religion is actually rather full of occult beliefs and practices. The Pope is also a Jesuit, I believe. He's human, flawed and not holy or able to forgive sins or bless people like the Lord can. One thing I've read before is that the Vatican removed the commandment about not worshipping idols and split others into two increments to cover for that. Mary was not born pure as she was born into sin like the rest of us because she was also human like the rest of us since sin is passed on through generations as a curse due to the fall of Adam and Eve. She was only chosen by God so He could become man and not sin because of the fact that she was still a virgin when she was pregnant and gave birth to him as Jesus Christ, because if God hadn't used a virgin, the curse of mankind may have made it impossible for Him to become a human and live and die for mankind without ever sinning, thus fulfilling the prophecy. Because God is perfect, He cannot sin, so that I believe is why He used someone who was still a virgin. Not because she was holy. She definitely was not born from a virgin either if people claim that, Jesus's birth is strictly one-of-a-kind and birth will never happen like that again. Mary also gave birth to Joseph's children after Jesus, so she didn't die a virgin either. I don't believe that she would want to be called holy or prayed to or had statues and paintings made of her as a holy figure or recited repeatedly in prayers calling her names that are supposed to make her a goddess and everything else done that people say is making her a goddess because she believed that her son Jesus Christ was the Messiah and she was one of the witnesses of Jesus being crucified at Calvary/Golgotha, so even if she didn't believe for some reason, she would have because of that experience as the witnessing of what happened when he died was very supernatural/divine and showing the people that he was truly God. The Godhead is the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and they are one in the same. But God is not a woman nor are there multiple gods (people calling Him mother God aren't worshiping Him...seen that kind of stuff a lot lately in videos some of the Christian KZfaqrs I watch posted along with plenty of other false beliefs Satan is using to try to make people stop believing the truth--there's a lot of new age, eastern mysticism, pride related and so on in the church these days). I actually wonder what it would have felt like witnessing Jesus dying for us because reading it is amazing, so just imagine witnessing it and knowing God died for our sins out of His own love, mercy and grace He had for us since we are nothing without His sacrifice, then rose from the grave on the third day showing that Jesus conquered death also before returning to Heaven til Judgement Day when he is going to return to judge the world. May the Lord bless many many people. I pray there will be many more people who will come to faith from all sorts of pasts no matter how complex and involved in the past religions they were and that they understand the truth that we should repent and trust in Jesus as Lord and Saviour and that he came and died for our sins, and that it is only through him we have any chance of making it to the Father and going to Heaven because we are wretches that sin nonstop every day of our lives, in the time we have left. We don't know when the end will come after all. God bless everyone.

Heyy there orthodox sibling in Christ! ❤☦️ Christ is in our midst!

Yeah, I think the emphasis on humility and a lot of other things dovetail well. But true humility from the life of Christ requires the Holy Spirit. So a lot of cool stuff we see in culture is just refined character and not fruit from out of God's Spirit. I mean if you've been a real jerk all your life and then get saved and you do something or say something that comes straight out of God in love, you can't help but get happy, because you KNOW that wasn't you!

However, Chiristians did not respect Japanese religions and cultures because of their monotheistic nature. That`s why many Japanese people tend to shun Christianity.

The Lord Jesus Christ became the Savior of sinners (all humans) by coming down from Heaven & dying on the 🪵 wooden cross for our sins. God raised Him from the dead, and Jesus is now a living Savior with God in heaven. But don't lose hope. Anyone can be saved from their sins and from going to hell in two easy, peasy steps: 1. Realize that you are a sinner who CAN'T SAVE YOURSELF from going to the lake of fire (forever) 🔥 based on your good deeds, your own philosophy, and other religions. 2. Realize that you need to believe in your heart ❤️ that ONLY Jesus Christ died for your sins. If you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart ❤️ that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart ❤️ man believe unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Congratulations! 🎊 👏 After this life, you're on your way to heaven forever! ⬆️💯🥳
