In Acts 22 we do see the straw that breaks the camel's back every time (as it relates to our Christian faith).
"The crowd listened to Paul until he said this. Then they raised their voices and shouted, "Rid the earth of him! He's not fit to live!"(v.22)
What terrible thing did he say to warrant such an extreme reaction?
We see it in the verse before, "Then the Lord said to me, "Go; I will send you far away to the Gentiles"(v.21)
As I see it, we can be as "religious" as we like, be as "churchie", as liturgical, as formal, or as reformed, or contemporary etc. as long as we do not become so enthusiastic about a living faith that we long to share with others - do that and you will be persecuted (to various degrees).
Paul was called by the Lord, to action.
As long as our "faith" is held tight in a nice little package - everyone is happy!
Have a great day,
Peter Clark.
