Featured Why do we Wonder how America Got here

And that is why the country will fall because of the false teaching that leads people to not acknowledge that their sin is sin to be repented of.

the church has aided people in believing that GOP politics is on par with God's truth and righteousness and it's not.

 

Yes. You cannot serve God and money. Luke 16:13

 

Salty - you're still posting articles from Oct 2014. Newer information exists that proves your premise incorrect; just do a quick Google.

It's not that I don't think it could happen; it's that it hasn't happened--yet.

Second- and third-order effects of this battle are still forthcoming.

In the meantime, as much as we might want to believe otherwise, James is correct: scripture says things *have* to get bad. Doesn't mean we shouldn't speak out against it; but we shouldn't be expecting society to act like they're children of God, especially when they're not.

 

I think this is the proper attitude. We are the salt of the earth; doesn't mean we will always succeed.

 

Same could be said about Jesse, Al and DNC politics.
Just sayin'.

 

Thanks Don. I was gone all day and didn't have a chance to respond but you captured my line of thinking. Good stuff.

 

Indeed. . .

 

This is a strong and powerful statement. Somewhat harsh but altogether true.

 

It is often hard to know how to respond to personal attacks such as this. If we cannot disagree without rhetoric such as this then what does that say about us. Maybe you have your own issues to deal with that you do not need to try and worry about someone else. I will pray for you. I do hope you find the peace you need.

 

Here's what your response should be....

Step 1 - go back and read the posts of everyone who commented about what I wrote.

Step 2 - take a real honest look at the agreement with my post

Step 3 - seek God about what I wrote. Seek godly council about it, from some outside of your "amen" corner.



As for you praying for me... I welcome it, and thank you for it.

You have no business on the Baptistboard or any Christian board for that matter. Your mouth is full of slander. I'm reporting this foul post. You deserve to be banned.

 

It will be worse than baking a cake or performing a wedding. These immoral LGBTQ people hate God. I don't know how it will manifest but they are not finished. They want God out of America.

Our western world is too "civilized" to persecute Christians in the normal sense of "persecution." No, we'll legislate, judiciate, and regulate; that's the "civilized" way....

 

Sadly true.

Scary to think what is coming now that pandora's box has been blown wide open

 

I think watching the Christians being slaughtered by beheading makes persecution pretty plain to me. We have seen the bulldozers scraping bodies into mass graves of the Holocaust. And even within the body of Christ we have professing "Christians" who believe in compulsion rather than persuasion. In censoring views that differ from their own.

 

Does everyone fail to realize that traditional hetero-sexual marriage is not unique to Christianity?????

I wonder if the 1+ billion people in India and the heaven knows how many billions of non-Christians in China and well, Russia, the entire Continent of Africa.....are all scratching their heads wondering what in the world is the thinking of these crazed Westerners.

You could separate Christianity entirely from the issue and historical traditional marriage would still remain the same or almost the same.

It isn't merely a "slap in the face" to Christianity, it's a slap in the face to sanity and every socio-historical tradition in the history of the world.

Do the Hindus and Sikhs spend hours in Sunday Services?
Do bushmen in Africa?
Do Buddhists in Tibet and Outer Mongolia?

Do they all inexplicably still know what the definition of "marriage" is?

 

Are you sure about that?

But as one has already posted, those in America have not seen what real persecution looks like.
