I think that for the most part America is still a Christian nation. BUT, we have a big difference in America from the Mid East and maybe countries like China too. On your side of the world the government tends to follow whatever religion their country is. You can really see this in the Mid Eastern Muslim countries. But we have something called Separation Between Church and State. Basically that means the government doesn't have to do what the religion of the country believes. So even if Evangelical Christians made up 70% of the people in America the government could still legalize something that's a sin if they wanted to. When Obama was president most of the government officials were not Christians and the LGBT community put a lot of pressure on the government to make gay marriage legal. That's how it happened. Just so you know, many Americans of all faiths are in shock that this happened. Many Catholics are also shocked that pope made gay marriage allowable in the Catholic religion. The only Catholic I know who doesn't think that's the worst thing that could have happened is 23, and 23 yr old's tend to believe "whatever works for you is fine".   

In my mind “the Christian nation”means the mainsterm of the nantion are the Christians

I get the Information of US from the films,tv shows,news of media(mainly yahoo,sometimes cnn,bbc,fox…)

I only watch the science fiction films of Hollywood,bcs I  am the big fans of Indian bollywood,and only the science fiction films,the bollywood filmmakers are not sophisticated  in,so it is obliged me turning to Hollywood

the science fiction films of Hollywood,is very Bibical,Always the story of a superhero saved the earth,saved the maninkind--it is ok

But I heard that the guys in Hollywood are all left –wings,it is obvious, they all stand with Hillary

But TV shows,

the tv shows I watched:

The Big Bang Theory----- in it ,the licentious life seems so common,and Sheldon always mocks the Christians,

(One “joke”he told:the Christians afraid to travel by ship bcs they think the earth is plain and afraid falling at the edge )

The Fringe----the story seems based on  Buddhist theory

Modern Family-----the Propaganda of gay marriage

And so on ………

And the medias… Trump had roared

On the other hand ,one day I find in yahoo news an article said that a wife of pastor complained that her husband looks like an angel in public,but a true devil in home,

And the article just next to it:

“the  Islam is religion of love and kindness”

And this is my face when I saw these:

Just because he said it doesn't mean it is true. GWB was known for making silly remarks during his terms in office.

GWB is the most popular US president in china,bcs the Chinese think he is so kind,so humble,so human,when his Secretary  Condoleezza Rice attended a sermon in a church in Beijing,the Chinese Christians cheered:”sister Rice,sister Rice”

Catholics have a belief system that incorporates the writings of their Church, along with Bible scripture.  There are quite a few articles comparing their beliefs to protestants (just google that).

I have not studied Catholicism because it is a system of belief that typically is chosen by the parents, for their children beginning with a ritual baptism post birth.  So most people are born into that system of belief.

From my own personal viewpoint, they have lost the ability to connect to the New Testament teachings in an effort to hold onto a dogma that attaches itself to a priesthood, something that Protestants will not do.

Now I feel lucky to be the Chinese

Bcs we are born without any religion

So we can chose any religion without burden.

How could I  know what is his motive? perhaps he has been getting briefcases of money from the Saudi Oil Kings?    The Political Elites have their own motives.  I only know it is false , because it contradicts what is well-known & written in Islamic texts. This has been a false narrative that has been continuously repeated &  promoted by the Media that are hardly bearers of the TRUTH.

But I heard that he was moved the Americans very  much for his Christian faith,is that true?

In Islam , the "jesus" in their books is a prophet of allah which is not the same as the GOD of the Bible YHVH. Their "jesus" will come in the end and denounce Christianity and kill the unbelievers ( Jews & Christians_)  who do not follow their prophet Mohamed.

so why president George Walker Bush  said that the Christian and the Muslim are worship the same GOD???

First, I had not heard the LGBT people are supporting Trump. But they didn't vote for him. They are only saying they now support him because they will want favors from him. But I don't think Trump will ever favor the LGBT's the way Obama. The LGBT community is not as big as they want you to think. They talk loud but most of the country is not in favor of legal marriage, at least not us older people. Even the older people who are not religious don't favor gay marriage. It just seems wrong to them. And in fact, it is wrong. This is already causing problems that wouldn't have happened if gay marriage wasn't legal. 

Judaism needs to turn into Christianity because Jesus was a Hebrew man by nationality. The Jews need to realize Jesus is their Messiah. For a long time we have had a group called Jews for Jesus. These people practice Judaism but they accept Jesus as the Messiah. Messiah means Christ. How will Judaism and Christianity become one? I don't know but this may be the way. Maybe by Christians joining Judaism all the Jews will eventually accept Jesus as their Lord.  

The Judaists only believe in OT,to them ,JESUS is the madman and the Defiler.

But the Muslims,they both accept the OT and NT(their NT is named Injil),and they honor JESUS as the saint, prophet,born from the Virgin Mary,and will judge in the judgment day

So is “ Judaism and Christianity become one” easier.

Or “ Islam and Christianity become one” easier?

Actually president George Walker Bush had said that the Christian and the Muslim are worship the same GOD.

Hi Silvia,  Yes, this is a terrible thing that has happened in America. It happened because we had a liberal (ungodly) part of our government is control for the past 8 years. Back around 1998 I could see homosexuality becoming more popular. Then around 2006 I knew a day where gay marriage would be legal was coming. BUT, I never ever expected it to happen so fast. I didn't think it would happen for another 20 or 30 years. I didn't understand how liberal the people in Washington were. I mean the president and the congress. So they changed America so much it's almost not America anymore. But now we have a conservative government is control. President Trump appointed quite a few Christian men to his staff and the Vice President is Born Again. This is making the liberals furious and we have been having planned riots. People are being paid to make riots. The liberals are acting like spoiled children because they know they aren't going to get special treatment from Trump. All this is an example of the down side to the freedoms we have. And now that the Obama administration made gay marriage legal no one can take it away from them. That's not how freedom works. We can worship Jesus without fear and no one will try and kill us. People in some other countries can't do that. But other people actually worship Satan and there are a few churches of Satan. This is terrible but it's what freedom allows. Maybe this is one way God is separating His people from the phonies. God's true people know homosexuality is a sin, but it's also legal. But I don't think the LGBT people will get anymore special privileges while Trump is in office. We shall see if I am right or wrong. I pray for President Trump and his people everyday. I'm sure God doesn't like this but God allows these things to happen. I think God let us have Trump to give us a chance to stop what Obama allowed. I'll tell you what I think. As bad as things are they are going to get worse. Scientists are working on a way to connect our brains to the Internet. In 10 yrs this may happen. To some it sounds like a good idea. You can google something just by thinking about it. Young people will accept this but us older folks never will. It will start with our brains controlling the Internet but after some time the Internet will start to control our thoughts. And it will reach a time when people won't be able to think or make decisions without their mind being able to access the Internet. I don't think this will happen in my lifetime but it may happen in yours. One thing I have learned is that things can always get worse.     

First of all,look at the pic,

Second.y ,as a Christian,will y allow y beloved daughter  converting to the Judaism?

And this is in Jerusalem

I hope  to know GOD’s comment about these

[27] And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet

When I told Americans “y are nolonger believe in GOD ”

The Americans were so angry with me as if I underestimated their  precious faith toward GOD

But on the other hand,gay marriage is legal in US ,now

So………Schizophrenia???

God's viewpoint,is in Bible

and i want to know what's in GOD's mind to this generation

Once I saw the document  of the Second Vatican Council,i feel it is wrong,and argued with the left-wing again and again,I were surely not so Confidence bcs they are seemed so lofty in moral,,so pure in heart,so perfect in spirit,so good,so love,so kind,so holy………and I even call some of them “saint”

 I were so depressed and obliged myself to ask GOD

And then the European refugee crisis,and then terrorist attack after terrorist attack

T o spread the gospel ?no,even in the most un-developed countryside of the poorest place in china,people know the name and the story of Jesus,but in the land with 2000 years’faith toward GOD,people open their arm to welcome  Islam

So who need the gospel more?the Chinese rural “sansculottes”,or the French priest who donated the land of church  to built the Mosque?

But even after the European refugee crisis,and terrorist attack after terrorist attack,these saints are still there I can not persuade them

what do you mean by this statement ?.  Could you please elaborate.

What I mean is:

hundreds of years ago,some Protestants sacrificed their easy lives in Europe, crossed the ocean by the ship named “mayflower”,for pursuing the truth of GOD,they were willingly to face the tough life and the risk of life in America

hundreds of years after,their descendants enjoy the most prosperous nation on this planet

about “prosperous”,I do not only mean wealthy ,of course US is rich,but money is far more not the reasonens the foreigners want  to immigrate to US, Saudi Arabia is rich,but who want to go there?even lots of Muslims do not want.

 Do y know in Chinese forums how we preach to the Buddhists?

We say:

Look at Christian nations : Europe,US

And look at Buddhist nantion:

Bhutan ----One of the poorest countries

Thailand-----famous for the shemale,the king was the richest king among the kings ,but larger quantity of it’s citizens living in poverty

And of course the  Buddhist province in china:

Tibet----before 1949,the streets of Tibet were full of the cow dung,the slave owners could kill their slaves without any reason,actually the horrible  tortures were frequently.

So how can we lifting the name of  JESUS before Buddhists?

Bcs hundreds of years ago,some Protestants sacrificed their easy lives in Europe, crossed the ocean by the ship named “mayflower”

Hi Silvia, You ask good questions. This is a question I started asking a long time ago. God will give you an answer, but you already know because you quoted it in 1 of your earlier posts. I mean where you quoted Jesus saying His people are those who do the will of His Father. And that's the answer I received from God myself. The people who are true Christians are those who obey God. Some are Protestant, some are Catholic, some are Orthodox, and some don't even know they belong to God yet. But as I said I've been asking this question a long time. I believe you belong to God because you're very interested in Him, you spend a lot of time thinking about Him and trying to understand Him. Usually only His true believers do that. And as you go through life you will notice some demonstrate the love of God in their life by being kind, by forgiving others, etc. In my opinion these people are doing the will of God so they are the ones Jesus said belong to Him. They are scattered all over the world. It would be nice if they were all in 1 place but they aren't. This is the only way what Jesus said makes sense. Keep watching as you go through life and see what you think.

GOD leads me in the way of Protestant to step into his truth

I had never talked with Orthodox Christian,bcs I do not know where to find them

But I  do have deep conversations with the Catholics

I do not know how to say……when I saw they call the pope”papa,papa”I were extremely amazing,it is totally un Biblical!

And ,I  had wrriten an article  to condemn the worshiping of Virgin Mary is the idolatry ,several days,some Catholics “attacked”me day and night

But all in all,it is GOD’s authority  to judge who will be accepted by him-----according  to :

Romans

4:1 What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather, discovered in this matter?

4:2 If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about--but not before God.

4:3 What does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness."

4:4 Now when a man works, his wages are not credited to him as a gift, but as an obligation.

4:5 However, to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness.
