The Beasts Smell Blood

God is orchestrating the nations exactly as He wills. I am excited to be alive right now to fulfill the good works God has ordained for me to do. No fear. All faith. Let's go knock down the gates of hell.

 

Christians in the US are soft and somehow imagine that Jesus will "rapture" them away before they suffer for the Kingdom. They have taken to attempting government control in order to suppress the godless and thus secure their own comforts.
God has brought the unsaved to their very doorstep and is crushing our comfort zones in an attempt to wake us up, yet this nation of Christians would rather kick all the unredeemed out and just hole up in their compounds.

 

Yep. In fact, Biden, just like Obama, is aiding its funding.

Israel and HAMAS in open war

 

You jumped the shark, Aaron.

 

Are you lifting your voice for justice? No. You are lifting your voice for political control.

 

You wrote:
"Courage, btw, is what I and others do, lifting our voice for justice."

The confusion is all on you. It seems you are confused about what you actually wrote.

Second, a person is either a slave to sin or a slave to righteousness. Liberty is an illusion.

You are not fighting for liberty. You are fighting because you want to be in control and not having control makes you want to react in violence at those you think are trying to oppress you. What you are doing is actually entirely selfish.

 

A little bit of escapism theology is not a bad thing, Jesus says we are not of the world, so wont experience the wrath of God.
And our salvation is revealed in the Last Day

There is no pre tribulation rapture, there is a rapture at the end of the age after the
tribulation of those days at Christ's returning.

So we are at the end of the age now since Christ first came, but the final consummation awaits at the end of the end of the age.
Paul and Peter talk about our salvation yet to come. It is a truth lots of the church does not think about.
The apostles are talking about a salvation kind a like Noah experienced, where we are saved from the sudden coming destruction

Hebrews 9
26 He then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now, once at the end of the ages, He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. 27 And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, 28 so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.

1 Peter 3
4 to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials,

 

Nothing compares to Christian freedom, which only God grants, and only through Christ Jesus.

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death. –Romans 8:1f​

But in America, our liberty is attributed not to government, but rather to God, and for all.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

–Preamble to the Declaration of Independence​

 

America does not recognize the unalienable rights, e.g., Life, Liberty, Pursuit of Happiness, as government rights, but rather as God endowed.

They are not removed by believing the Gospel, but rather further entrusted to God who gave them.

This does not remove government responsibility to recognize and uphold them, especially in the United States of America.

Even Apostle Paul asserted his rights as a Roman citizen when the opportunity afforded. We know he specifically did so in Jerusalem (Acts 22:25ff), in Caesarea (Acts 25:10f), and in Philippi (Acts 16:35ff). In the latter case, Silas also asserted his Roman citizenship.
