Soory, Michael Somehow I posted on the wrong thread I'll try again. Hello, Michael!! How are you, brother? Hope these beautiful days find you and yours doing well! I don't really have anything much to add to your discussion here because, personally, I have grown weary of the Calvinism/Arminianism debate. I see on another thread that Dispensationalism and whatever are being debated. On another thread politics and non-politics. This morning I was reading the Voice of the Martyrs magazine and thinking, "What is my primary focus?" The thought came to my mind, if I had one hour with Pres. Bush, what would I do with it? Unfortunately, I know many would talk about abortion or illegal immigrants or prayer in school. My thoughts turned to Paul before the Roman leaders and the fact that he preached Christ!! No Calvinism or Dispensationalism, BUT CHRIST!! Oh that we would have such a heart for the souls of people! We need to continue to pray for revival AT ANY COST!!! |

Truthlover, I appreciate your sincerity, but some of your comments just aren't correct. "This great country was built and prepared by God so that we christians can have a place to live and practice our faith in peace." Where do you get this from? God used persecution in the first century church to spread the gospel. Peter tells us that suffering for righteousness sake is a good thing. The worse thing that God could do is "give" christians a country free from persecution and trouble. His own word says that these are the tools that He uses to grow us. It worked for the early church and it is true today. KK mentions the many who died that we might have freedom. I am thankful for that, but what about the many who have died that the TRUE gospel of a kingdom not of this world might be proclaimed? There sacrifice is far greater and for a greater cause, the cause of Jesus Christ, not a man made government. "if this country went down in flames where would we go?" How about to the same place evry believer should go, the cross of Christ!! We shouldn't be dependent on a government protecting our rights. We, like the persecuted church, should look to our Father in Heaven for our strength, not a man made government. KK, scripture and substance, not ranting, please! |

Thank you, Dwayne. I used to be one of those christian "patriots" who wrapped my King James Bible in the American flag and shouted, "America is a christian nation, let's take it back for Jesus Christ!". I have come to realize through study of the scriptures that no country is "christian". Founded on christian principles, maybe. A "christian" nation-no. People are christians. Not countries, not music, not tv, not anything else, only people. To say that a nation is a "christian" nation sets us up against the very plain teaching of our Savior that His kingdom is not of this world. Do I wish America would go back to the days of following biblical principles? Of course! Who wouldn't? But Jesus said things would get worse before His return, not better. I will be an active citizen of this country. I will vote, I will contact my political leaders, I will speak out on the issues of the day. I will not attempt to make America a christian nation because I am looking for that city whose Maker and Builder is God, my true homeland! |

Lance, typical response, blame the victims. How is a child who looks up to this "holy" man (the priest) supposed to respond when they know that if they don't obey they could lose their salvation. The fact that you would defend these perverts shows just how duped you are |
