Protestant Apostasy Pending?

[brakelite]

In the early 4th century Constantine the Great, claiming a personal Christian faith, became Emperor of the western Roman Empire. After the previous Emperor Galerius had declared persecution to cease, Constantine officially restoring rights and privileges to Christians, promoting Christians to public office, and favoring the church with legislation in their favor, exemptions from taxes in some cases, turned the whole Christian landscape on its head, yet was the catalyst for the establishment of the greatest apostasy in Christian history, the RCC.
Today, we have a new emperor on the throne of western civilization, Donald Trump. He also has turned the tide of anti-Christian political leanings into a positive favortism, promising to restore the rights of free speech, re-establish Christian privileges which of recent times been eroded away by political correctness and liberalism, Trump and Constantine seem to be sharing a number of parallels.
Constantine's Edict of Milan was particularly interesting, restoring officially religious freedom, even to returning property previously confiscated. Constantine also ordered the publication of Bibles, and officially established Sunday as a day of rest, closing businesses and shutting down commerce, except for agricultural work. I can imagine how joyous the church must have been at these announcements, except among the more discerning. Many however would have been openly celebrating Constantine's rise to power, and thanking God for His great mercies in sending the church such a wonderful savior. Does this remind you of anything happening today?
For over 120 years the Seventh Day Adventist church has been teaching that before the second coming, a Sunday law will be established in America and the world, directly undermining God's 4th commandment. This Sunday law will be in conjunction with the re-establishment of the Roman Papacy as a world dictatorial superpower, with its Pope at its head.
Trump has sworn to tear up the Johnson Amendment, which in the 1950s curtailed the preaching of politics from the pulpit, on pain of incurring tax penalties. Trump has promoted many professing Christians to his cabinet, the Catholic Mike Pence being the most prominent, but a council of advisors made up of many church leaders has been announced also.
So while  you Christians are celebrating that Trump is somehow God's man and the church's future secured due to his rising to power, think on the parallels, and what became of the church under Constantine's aegis. The separation of church and state disappeared. Roman Catholicism soon became the state religion, to the exclusion of all others. Paganism officially entered the church by way of Sunday, among other heresies....persecution ceased to be implemented by the state, but was then undertaken by the church...force was used to compel worship and submission to the Popes. All these things our church has been teaching for 120 years to be repeated but on a global scale. Far from leading the church into freedom, Trump has the potential for leading the church into its greatest apostasy.

I'm just not buying that the POTUS is leading us into a theocracy.   That's ridiculous.

You are pretty negative brakelite.  I take it you did not vote for Trump.

As for "you Christians" statement, are you not a Christian also?

The vast majority of "christians" are already there, and do not realize it, following the false prophets and false christs which Jesus warned about in Matthew 24...

Interesting statement.  Care to name a few false prophets false Christs Christians are following??

You don't know?  The words of Jesus in the Bible will tell your, read carefully.

I don't see anywhere in the Bible where Jesus clues us in on who the false prophets and false Christs of 2017 are.

If you know who they are, you should clue us "vast majority of Christians" in so that we can stop following them, as you are saying we do.

Please post Scripture that tells us who these people are.  I must have missed that in the Bible.

If you study your Bible, and the words of Jesus and the Apostles, and compare this to what is being preached/taught by the majority of the worlds religious leaders you will get the answser...

Ok. Why do you assume most Christians follow these false religious leaders?

BTW. if I posit that there are false prophets and false Christs, and I am asked who they are, I would name names in hopes of saving others.
