The above Beatitude is a direct quote of Jesus.

And where Christians claim to follow Christ I am appalled at their behavior lately.
They seem to want to do everything possible to stir up arguments and strife.

If it's a mask they are all about shouting about how it doesn't work or violates their rights...
If it's a vaccine they are all about how it's obviously an attempt to control all of mankind.
If it's about quarantines they are screaming and shouting about how they aren't allowed to be Christian anymore.

Facts and compliance with Authorities has gone out the window in favor of conspiracy theories. Instead of Trump just being an effective president he has become some kind of savior. And name calling with horrible names of leaders God has placed in place is the rule of the day.

No one is preaching the gospel in word or deed anymore. They spend their time preaching about their savior Trump or fake viruses...what about Jesus?
Isn't He the most important thing? More important than a president? More important than a vaccine?
What about your fellow man to be considered more important than yourself?
What harm is done by a simple piece of cloth?
Especially if it brings him/her peace and calm in a time that people are prudently scared.

The gospel message is offensive enough...but now it's Christiandom that is offensive. If I were God I know that I wouldn't be pleased and send another WOE just to fix it.

The Lord knows those that are His, and with them He is well pleased. In that day, many will say Lord, Lord, open up to us. It is these, that will be caught unaware. It is these, that can not help but be offensive. There is still a little time for them to lay it all down at His feet. This time(season), is not just a time for repentance, or a time for rest, it is also a time for repentance unto salvation, for most who call themselves Christians, and for those that are not. The Woes are coming just as it is written. How many will be found in Him.

Hey, John. Merry Christmas and happy holidays!

I'm not sure if now is the time for peace. Scripture says there is a time for everything, and until the 2020 Presidential race is resolved, I think those who truly care for their country need to keep fighting for it. That's not to say be ugly to others or be closed-minded, but the survival of our Democratic Republic in the United States is something I think worth fighting for. And that's not to say I'm particularly political. In reality, I'm spiritually-oriented to the point that I have largely ignored politics for most of my Christian life (but not completely). But the situation right now is different on many levels.

Anyway, once it is beyond our power to keep corruption from completely overrunning our form on government, yes. It will be time to pursue peace with every man in hopes of overcoming evil with good. Until then, however, I think an honest fight should still be waged, albeit in a Christian manner; in a Spirit of love and concern for the welfare our country and its citizens.

God bless! And hope your 2021 is blessed and prosperous!

Do you remember why we pledge allegiance to the Flag of America first and the Nation second?

It's the principles that matter...not the nation or the people in it.
But some people don't want that...and doing everything they can to change it and others going blindly along with them.

A look at Israel's history will tell you exactly how it's going to go down.

And if not them, then Europe should. At one time they were all in "holier than thou" contests with the Catholic Church and each other. They ain't so holy now.

And from the behavior of Christiandom lately I can't say as I blame the secular world from wanting to not behave like we are or having anything to do with what we are seen as promoting.

Sure enough... didn't claim anything about being better than anyone. I'm a sinner just like everyone else.
You might have become one step away from sinnless perfection...I never claimed to be that good.

Before I answer, let me dissociate myself from History, LoL. On religious subjects he's often good as gold. On this one... not so much.

But without sounding overly sensitive about it, I would not be in favor of any policy or doctrine that put principle above people. That sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Understand, I'm just as opposed to Christians being used by evil spirits as you are. It's why I correct people around here so much over it, because you're right: It leads to worse and worse forms or warfare, and would eventually (as in Europe) lead to outright killing in the name of Christ if allowed to escalate to that point.

I also agree with your last statement, and very much so. It's why the church is about to come under judgment. The harvest is never going to come - in fact it will be prevented from coming - until the church has been judged, and severely. This is not to appear to agree with GTW, because I think he posts in the wrong spirit much of the time. The Lord doesn't WANT to see judgment come to the church, but He will allow it if and when there is no other choice.

But again, I do think the current political situation is where a stand needs to be taken. Once this is battle on the political front is concluded, all focus will then turn to the spiritual front.

Some would say it is long overdue. All I can say is that as a Christian, you take whatever each situation gives you and act accordingly in the season in which it is presented.

My name is Rich, not GTW. Today you pronounced a judgement, out in the open for all to see. Let it be remembered this day the words that have proceeded from your lips. Now let us all watch, as the false dream interpreters, and all the false prophets words fall to the ground. And this has been known from the beginning. Two words sums all of this up, "subject to".

America started as a Christian Nation and those principles are about a Christian Life of living in service to our fellow man because we serve God.
Not everyone subscribes that. Some people are more about the destruction of evil than the other. Or about something completely different than the Christian principles.

So...
The people can change.
When Joshua led the Israelites into the Promised Land they were extremely obedient and self disciplined. Out of the hundreds of thousands or millions of people....only one guy disobeyed orders...one guy!

Can't get any military to perform the same today.

But reading the book of Judges and the history after this time period you can't recognize the same behavior. Even Gideon's son made peace with the very guys his father fought.

I believe in the principles more than the people
You can legislate morality but that doesn't mean that everyone will think they are a good idea.

only those touched by God's Spirit struggle against their sins.....all others justify their religious behaviour unable to see where their error lies.

Facts and compliance with Authorities has gone out the window in favor of conspiracy theories.
Not "conspiracy theories" but conspiracy FACTS. How has that fact escaped you?

Whenever the conspirators wish to deflect attention from an actual conspiracy, they use the derogatory and dismissive term "conspiracy theory".

But there has been an actual conspiracy in action since 2016. Had the law enforcement and judicial branches of the government of the USA been free of corruption and malice, the whole world would have been shown exactly who the conspirators were who were going to jail (or worse) for a long time. Some deserved the death penalty for sedition and treason.

While themselves being law-abiding citizens, Christians are to support law and order in their countries, as well as the death penalty for heinous and high crimes (Romans 13:1-7).

Now that the rule of law has been totally banished from America, Christians should speak out against the lawlessness of those in office. They are all essentially criminals. And the ban on, and sabotage of, HCQ was part of a CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY to increase the death rate from Wuhan virus, and destroy the country and its citizens.

You haven't provided facts...just a bunch of allegations of wrongdoing by others for reasons of results that are not coherent.

There's no proof...no reason...no reasonability.

However, I have had personal relationships with those who have worked on Vaccines for our protection and stated the dangers of this virus which are currently overloading our hospitals at this moment.

My son has Covid...
Marks has Covid again for the second time.
Nurses who frequent this forum have said it's real and serious.

What more can I say?

You seem to want people to be injured or to risk injury in favor of some perceived slight to "rights" you believe that you are entitled to.

I'm suggesting that you think of your fellow man over yourself. Maybe follow Christ a little harder.

Well, yes. Only the nation would never have been founded if they hadn't stood against those whom they felt were their oppressors. So in a way their focus was more about opposition to evil than about their service to their fellow man, at least in the beginning most certainly. At least that's the way I see it, but maybe you disagree there.

Ehhhh... you have to remember, a whole lot of Jews also died in the wilderness for disobedience. What I mean is, the Israelites feared God, and for very good reason. If we were faced with the choice to obey or die today, I think we might have a different situation going on as well. :)

Doing as God says or you are dead is a great motivating factor for being self disciplined.
But that generation wasn't who I was talking about. It was the successive generations.

Each one progressively worse and set themselves to be worse. Until you have Levites purchasing concubines. And then getting upset when she was in shock. They were so far removed from the Law they didn't know right from wrong anymore. They just had feelings of righteousness regardless of behavior.
And that's a very difficult pill to swallow if it is us in this generation.

Yes. Sadly I have to agree with you here. I was talking with a friend about this the other day, and parents don't raise their kids with even the slightest discipline any more, even in church. No wonder if they grow up to be disobedient to God in adulthood, and not take His commandments seriously. They won't listen to correction, either.

But it still leaves you in a position to pray for them. Judgement won't be put off forever. The right attitude is to pray they avoid it.

Permissive helicopter parenting seems to be the rule of the day.
Some children are not learning respect for themselves or others.

Others seem to be doing well though.

The days of abusive parenting seems to be waning for overly permissive parenting.

That's not going to turn out well either.
Doctor Spock's book somehow got steroids.

Part of today's culture of "abortion is good but spanking is bad". And homeschooling, homeschooling, homeschooling.

But at least for some kids they got to connect with their parents for the first time.

Good morning Chris, You have judged wrongly. It is not condemning others. It is exposing you. The prophets words will fall to the ground. It has been you that has been correcting others for your own reputations sake. So desperate to interpret a dream only to tickle the ears of the dreamer. Using others to make yourself into something you are not. Taking others dreams, and falsely interpreting them to push your own agenda as to what you think is going on in the world. Was it not you that said the lake of fire is in the dead sea(here on earth)? You have painted a picture for all to see, and today that picture has been interpreted. So you see, there is no correction here, nor condemnation, only exposing what is Hidden. I pray you take these words to heart, as well as the ones above, as to not be caught unaware. GTW, are but 3 letters and you know not what they mean?

The above Beatitude is a direct quote of Jesus.

And where Christians claim to follow Christ I am appalled at their behavior lately.
They seem to want to do everything possible to stir up arguments and strife.

If it's a mask they are all about shouting about how it doesn't work or violates their rights...
If it's a vaccine they are all about how it's obviously an attempt to control all of mankind.
If it's about quarantines they are screaming and shouting about how they aren't allowed to be Christian anymore.

Facts and compliance with Authorities has gone out the window in favor of conspiracy theories. Instead of Trump just being an effective president he has become some kind of savior. And name calling with horrible names of leaders God has placed in place is the rule of the day.

No one is preaching the gospel in word or deed anymore. They spend their time preaching about their savior Trump or fake viruses...what about Jesus?
Isn't He the most important thing? More important than a president? More important than a vaccine?
What about your fellow man to be considered more important than yourself?
What harm is done by a simple piece of cloth?
Especially if it brings him/her peace and calm in a time that people are prudently scared.

The gospel message is offensive enough...but now it's Christiandom that is offensive. If I were God I know that I wouldn't be pleased and send another WOE just to fix it.

I made the decision a few days ago to remain quiet until the end of January ( after the election was certified and the inauguration over )...
But... after reading the above... I felt the need to respond in support of what has been written.

For several weeks I have been watching these election and covid threads getting longer and louder...
It seems that the results of an election with the inclusion of a global pandemic has caused Christianity to become nul and void.

The behaviour that has been... and continues to be displayed here by many within these forums has been appalling and astounding...
Sadly.... what people are calling patriotism... seems to be nothing more than an "excuse" to pulverise and devour fellow believers...

For any new believer looking in... my heart weeps... for what is being seen here and said here does not reflect in any way... shape or form
the life of a believer in Jesus Christ.

I am grateful that someone had the courage to post that fact!

So you see, there is no correction here, nor condemnation, only exposing what is Hidden. I pray you take these words to heart, as well as the ones above, as to not be caught unaware. GTW, are but 3 letters and you know not what they mean?

This isn't condemnation? LoL.

Good morning, and for starters I'm not offended. If I thought there was anything to all this I might be, but I'm more curious than anything else. Where did you develop this picture of me? I'd like to know where you got it from.

So let's start with this. You tell me where you got the following:

1. the idea that I am "pushing my own agenda." Tell me what you think my "agenda" is.
2. that I correct others "for my own reputation's sake."
3. that I am "desperate" to interpret dreams.
4. that I am "using others to make myself something I am not."

Speak freely. I don't fear having this conversation, and I truly want to know where it is coming from.

God bless,

Oh, and yes, I teach (among numerous other things) that the Dead Sea will become the Lake of Fire during the end times, just prior to the Lord's return, where the wicked will be cast. So that would lead to...

5. How am I a "false prophet" for teaching something that hasn't happened yet, and I have never taught should have? I teach that we have decades yet to go before the end?

Hope you have a pleasant Sunday, and please respond to the following questions. I was praying for you last night, and in a strange way this seems to be one of the nicest posts you have written to me. You are being up front, and I appreciate that. So let's see if we can't reconcile some of this.

I will await your replies, and I appreciate you being open.

- H

P.S. Can you NOT use my personal name? I will address you by yours since you asked me to, but I'm not wild about my personal name being thrown around in public left and right. If that's something I wanted to be addressed by, I would have used it, LoL.

Your just as guilty. You are the Pharisee in the story, you thank God your not like us but your twice the son of hell.

Below are your own words written on a thread regarding an apology

I have been filled with immeasurable hate, white hot hate. A hatred that goes down to the very soul and can twist one into a type of Anakin or Sauron. It all came to a boiling point yesterday when I found myself watching a video about my favorite topic World War 2 era. I found myself agreeing with Hitler and replacing things he said with the word "Liberals". I have hated Liberals so much that that is all I could think about, just sticking it to liberals. Up to the point that the camps that the USA used for the Japanese seemed a great place to herd liberals. I had fantasies about getting wishes and sending all liberals to the Andromeda galaxy.

My own predilections lead me there but what led me there to that state even more was the media, no not the liberal media but the conservative media. Always both sides are keeping everything in our faces all the time to the point that they want hatred not peace, they want war not peace. Now I might hear you say to just stop listening except it is not that easy the message permeates everything.

Your words for many months have been filled with hatred... and they continue... I joined this site in the spring... and back then... your issue was with the evangelical Christians who were sola scripture and not so fond of tradition. Now it is the election and covid.

Hate festers like a cancer... and it spreads like a wild-fire... The cure is humility and repentance.

This is not a correction... but rather an observation of the words you speak to others.
