Politics has replaced religion

[Neighbor]

HI all,

There are several interesting and perhaps accurate points made in the article linked below stating the family members are avoiding each other over politics! That politics has replaced religion!

https://www.foxnews.com/media/sounds-like-cult-sociologist-rips-leftist-calls-cut-off-trump-family-members-during-holidays

I think much of what is being expressed in the article rings true.

What I think the article misses is a conclusion with suggestions for repairing relationships and  reasserting God above all else. Learning once again to forgive one another and also not to take offense over  politics. Instead to put it down in it's place way below all that expresses confidence inJesus as our lord God and savior. 

Anyway please give the article a read and share of what you find useful within it if anything.

Fox is not a really good source for news. It looks like Satan is using this to break families apart. That

is one of his goals. Satan is hard at work now. Perhaps he knows that his time is short.

I read this on other sources other than Fox News.

I definitely can see this happening. Since the election I can see our end times escalating. God has a plan

and I can see it being established.

My father broke a long time friendship with people I regarded as an aunt and uncle because they voted for obama. 

Nothing new with this election. Except for the emphasis on politics on this forum lately.

While I can agree FOX is less than a grand resource for unbiased  reporting, that seems to be the case with most every so  called news source these days.  Seeing Whoppie Goldberg do her thing  declaring she won't let her grand child be with Republicans is not of Fox News doing. There is just a whole lot of irrationalranting going on right now.

The purpose from my own standpoint of mentioning this is that it is real, it is happening. I think  Christians need work extra hard at overcoming these kinds of thoughts, invite, encourage, and even console family and friends, not gloat, not  continue in USA elections mode.

Be extra vigilant to keep God above all else in our own lives and share of the mercy and grace extended by Jesus.

"and I can see it being established."

Hi, well technically being  Calvinistic and embracing Romans 8:29 -31, I think  this was all fully established from before the beginning.

 

Incoming!

"Be extra vigilant to keep God above all else in our own lives and share of the mercy and grace extended by Jesus.'

Good advise. Our Christ discernment needs to be on high alert now.

One of my brothers is polar opposite of me in political views. We have dinner together once a week. We are able to respect that we have differing views and have no problems. I really dont understand why someone would boycott family members due to politics.

Marxism *is* a religion of the state. I'll just leave it at that.
