Prepare for Persecution

[forrestkc]

Not allowing a group to persecute others is not persecution. We are a Christian controlled nation. Virtually everyone holding any political power in this country is a Christian.

What's interesting about the above is that supposedly 85% of adult Americans ARE claiming to be Christians, in this nation, which WOULD include the leaders. So, why on earth, are we so anti-God in everything called government in this country??? Maybe it's because we are a psuedo-Christian nation.

And the surprise will be that the TRUE Christians, will be persecuted by the psuedo Christians and the psuedo Christian govt....it's already taking place folks.

Why on earth would you want to mix religion and government? Why would people that don't trust the federal government to have a hand in running the elementary school down the street want the federal government to get mixed up with their faith?

Think about it, has there ever been a single theocracy in the history of civilization that had righteous government? Nothing ever good has ever came from mixing religion and government. All those in power do then is use faith as a tool to manipulate the people.

We have a pretty simply legal principle regarding religion and government in this country. It is that the government and its institutions cannot be used as a vehicle to promote, endorse, or compel specific religious beliefs. That principle has served us pretty well as we are the greatest nation in the history of civilization. Why change now? I mean come on, does anyone honestly believe that everyone will all of a sudden start acting better if we only put monuments to the ten commandments in court rooms?

Dear forrest,

I was commenting on "your" post. You said, that "We are a Christian controlled nation. Virtually everyone holding any political power in this country is a Christian."

MY question is, then why are they viewed as so "ungodly", in principles??? I mean if they ARE supposedly Christian? Why such ungodly laws being passed??? And tolerated by supposed Christian men? It's not adding up, if we are a Christian controlled nation, and virtually EVERYBODY holding any political power in this country is a Christian........ then WHY on earth don't we look like/act like it? Why aren't our laws reflecting that?

Again, I say, it's because it's "false" Christianity. IT's a deception.

But if you do visit any countries outside of the Western Industrialized nations, they are much more comfortable with religious faith in general. For example I worked for a time when I was much younger in Africa. To say something was God's will was considered a concrete notion there; it was a normal thing to say and believe, regardless of being at work or home or school. To say that here you are not taken very seriously. It goes back to having a form of religious faith, but let

I think a good theocracy could work, but not in the US.

Well, why do so many Christian leaders do such unGodly things?

I for one think that the majority of those in Washington regardless of party affiliation are fundamentally decent people. Sure, you have your bad apples, but most of them are trying to make a positive difference.

Grace to you,

So you place more faith in the Government than you do the Church of Jesus Christ?

By all means, let us keep the teachings of He Who is THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE out of our government!

The government will be MUCH BETTER run by secular men, and for secular ends! WE MUST NEVER, EVER ALLOW CHRISTIANITY TO BE OF INFLUENCE THERE! Imagine how dreadful it would be if our government were ACTIVELY CHRISTIAN!!!

Can anyone else hear a wolf in sheep's clothing in such arguments? Is it even thinkable that anyone who knows the Lord--or even has a SHRED of moral decency--could make such arguments? No. That friends, is the voice which will take us to the SAME FATE as the German Jews of the Generation that did not pay heed to the signs of the times in 1926! That is the voice that will have us silenced. That is the voice that will have us jailed. That is the voice that will have us and our children and grandchildren killed!

THAT friends, is the very voice of the anti-Christ, and all too often Christians listen to it.........

Actually he was not preselytizing at work, but say he was, should they ask him to stop proselytizing, or flat out not allow him to bring his bible? He was a supervising 911 dispatcher and worked in an open office. It would of been pretty hard for him to hide his bible.

1. Yes they should be able to stop you from proselytizing, just like they can ask you not to sell Amway at work, or do anything else your not being paid to do while you are there.

2. It is perfectly legal to bring a bible to work with you.

As to #1, what is that in response to? Where did I say they should not be able to stop him from proselytizing?

#2 You're not getting it. Yes it is legal to bring your bible to work. The point is: My husband was told he could not bring his Bible to work. Though that should not happen, does not mean it does not happen.

Grace to you,

Yet you hold more contempt for the leaders of the Lords Church than you do the very Government that persecutes the Lords Church?

Granted I agree that if the Church would get her House in order that the Government would follow.
