That's *exactly* the point!
And Jehovah and His Christ continues to be praised worldwide, especially in Georgia and other
countries where Christians continue to obey Christ's command to "love your enemies and pray for
those persecuting you." (Matt. 5:44)
No matter how much the "orthodox" church shames Christ by beating old women and children, our

against God. And they consented to him.
Act 5:40 And calling in the apostles, after they had scourged them, they charged them that they
should not speak at all in the name of Jesus. And they dismissed them.
Act 5:41 And they indeed went from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were accounted
worthy to suffer reproach for the name of Jesus.
Act 5:42 And every day they ceased not, in the temple and from house to house, to teach and preach
Christ Jesus.
Jehovah and His Prince of Peace is praised all the more because we accomplish this, not by our own
strength, political power or sheer brute force, but by His spirit.
"Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith Jehovah of hosts." Zech. 4:6
Rom 12:19 Beloved, do not look for revenge but leave room for the wrath; for it is written,
"Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord."
Rom 12:20 Rather, "if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to
drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals upon his head."
Rom 12:21 Do not be conquered by evil but conquer evil with good.
