What is the Test of a True Christian?

Christ said "If you want to be my desciple,  
You must take up your cross and follow Me"
(Matthew 16.24;Mark 8.34),
Dying a martyr's death like I have done.
 
Crucifixion was a punishment  
handed out by the (Roman)government
For breaking the law.
Actually the cross was the penalty  
to just the two gravest offenses,
(1)insurrection, ie rebellion (treason), and
(2)runaway slaves.
 
So why was Christ crucified?
Because the Jewish GOVERNMENT under Rome,
 - yes, the Jewish religious leaders were the GOVERNMENT -
made Him out to be a rebel, even a revolutionary.
 
Actually the Jewish theocracy that Rome tolerated
Considered Christ a lawbreaker,
For He violated the Sabbath,
He "worked" on the Sabbath(John 5.18).
 
Anyway,the cross was the punishment  
given by government for breaking the law.
So, if you want to be Christian,
You have to be willing to break an unjust law!
Otherwise you won't be sentenced to death by crucifixion!
 
I broke an unjust law by setting fire  
to an abortion clinic on May 26,1983.
 
How many socalled Christians have done likewise?
The average Christian won't lift a finger  
to stop baby slaughter,
The Holocaust against babies,
Fetal human beings!  
 
Oh, they'll hold meetings, raise money,
Speak out against abortion -
Anything within the law!
But they won't step out of that box,
The "prison" of slavery to the law.
 
They're not willing to go to prison for breaking the law!
(But they are willing to put themselves  
into the prison of worshiping the law!)
Therefor they can never be real Christians.
 
Moses' mother, Jochebed(Exodus 6.20),
Broke the law by not killing the male babies.
Pharoah had ordered the death of male babies(Exodus 1.15,22).

Because Moses wrote the first 5 books of the Bible
Moses is the foundation of the Bible, you could say.
And because Moses' survival was the result of
His mother's breaking the law,
You could say the Bible is based on
The willingness to break the (unjust) law.
