For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it" Matthew 16:13-18 At Caesarea Philippi they would have been at the foot of mount Harmon... Known as the place where the watchers landed on Earth. It is considered by some as the door to the underworld. Is he saying he's building his church on the most sacred place for Satan followers, and there wasn't anything they could do about it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure there are millions filing the churches, but many of those churches teach a different gospel and a different Jesus with millions of followers who will go to Hell because they never knew the real Jesus. Christians used to influence politics and culture, but now many churches have willingly been silenced and have totally compromised with the world. Christianity is becoming irrelevant as soldiers for Christ are giving up on the war and raising the white flag of surrender to the world. Very sad to see. These generations will be FAR MORE judged than any nation and culture before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is dominion we are after. Not just a voice.... Christian politics has as its primary intent the conquest of the land—of men, families, institutions, bureaucracies, courts, and governments for the Kingdom of Christ. Gen 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth. Things are about to get very interesting. Its not what it use to be huh. Well at 62 I remember don't you growing up some preacher would be on TV speaking against things on the NEWS. Didn't always agree but Jerry Falwell is one that comes to mind. There are others but the world and even Christians tend to remember the faults the sin more then all the good they have done for Christ and holds it against them. Gen 1 28.. have dominion.. now your starting to sing my song. I knew a preacher that they would walk all the streets in cities US all over the world. They did it in Israel. Yeah walking praying on very street. You won't read it about yet they are out there taking back ooh I just posted that song "Take it all back". Its not hard.. prayer was in schools. The 10 commandments were in the courts. They use to put their hand on the bible sware to tell the truth. Another song playing now.. perfect "What Are We Waiting For" I don't care.. here I am lord use me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched a video from John McArthur yesterday concerning the Pope and the Catholic Church that really points out the mistakes of Christianity for the past 2000 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A revival doesn't mean much if people go back to the way they were living before it. These revivals don't seem to cause any lasting change in people's hearts. I'll believe in a real revival when I see it affect the culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched a video from John McArthur yesterday concerning the Pope and the Catholic Church that really points out the mistakes of Christianity for the past 2000 years. I suppose I'd agree with that. A church of thousands might only have a hundred REAL followers of Jesus. Millions will be in Hell who were Sunday Christians and never really knew Jesus. Millions of churchgoers will suffer eternal punishment because they actually thought church attendance was what made them Christians ( I had a heated argument with a pastor once because he actually tried to convince me that no matter how devoted to Jesus I was, I COULDN'T go to Heaven if I didn't attend church ).

Many of the apostate churches are closing which is a good thing. Still many more are open.

At my age and experience, I'm quite skeptical. We have plenty of Christian gatherings going on here, with the Gospel being preached. Our new Prime Minister is a professing Christian and churchgoer, and typically our Parliament and the political scene does have Christians in it at any given time.
