Of course not. But yours was a blanket statement, and you can actually be an American and a Christian, just as you can indeed be both a Roman and a Christian.

God bless.
For crying out loud, then let me repeat it ONE CANNOT BE AMERICAN AND CHRISTIAN AT THE SAME TIME!!!!
Do you not get the point????
April called Americans 'God's people', do you understand the implications here? She is showing an allegiance to America, that compromises one's devotion to Christ. My statement was made in that direct context.
God duly chose Israel, there was an undeniable affinity there between them, at the time. This can not be said about any other nation under the sun.
Don't start getting simple on me HIH, it was rather profound what I said.

NOPE! LoL. But you've certainly given it the college try.
On a scale of 1 to 10, historyB, how simple would you say that you are, 10 being the most dull?

On a scale of 1 to 7 days, how long do you think it will take you to get banned again?

Get lost HIH, if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen. ...and just for the record (if you can actually tell the difference), do you think that historyB was any more congenial?

I really want to be, but why would He allow all this to happen to His people?
well, all I can say, is we allow it, Free will, and it is not just America, Today's decisions will cause a ripple all around the world and none of its good. God would rather we did things His way, but it seems impossible for man to do anything right, something to do with our hearts being inherently evil. I like many had lots of ups and downs, and I have questioned Him a lot, on these matters, and no like so may I dont understand. I suppose than are we really His people??, some times we think we are others just act that way. But right now, that faith the size of a grain of mustard seed, is what you need, and let Him wrap His arms around you.

God bless

You ask this question because its closer to home, around the world persecution and bad things have been happening to Christians, Gods people, throughout history. You want to read what others have gone through, but their testimonies are amazing.
April you need to give yourself time to adapt to the disappointment of what you were hoping in, disappointment is nothing new to any of us, but it’s painful.

Notice I said faith, not belief which can be two entirely different things. Right now I sort of feel foresaken after the events over the past couple of days. It just seems like God doesn't care about us Americans anymore. :(

Something I learned about faith, is anything that is against the Word of God, is from the enemy and should be tossed out. You cannot have faith in man or politics without being in fear and feeling disappointed, but you can have faith in God's Word. All of it is true and has never or will ever change.

God does care about America and everyone else in the world for that matter. And if this is true, then no matter what the world looks like or what the enemy says, strengthen your faith in His Word. God won't give you more faith. He alotted to each of us a measure of faith already. What we need to do is be transformed by the renewing of our minds (romans 12:2) In this way, we will prove what God's will is, and that is perfect.


"So, what do you think? With God on our side like this, how can we lose? If God didn’t hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn’t gladly and freely do for us? And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God’s chosen? Who would dare even to point a finger? The One who died for us—who was raised to life for us!—is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us. Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ’s love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture: They kill us in cold blood because they hate you. We’re sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one. None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. I’m absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us."
Romans 8:31‭-‬39 MSG

If one claims to be losing their faith in God, they truly never had it in the first place.
I think that what is taking place is not losing faith but just being in a filthy mood because you are so down hearted due to the situation we have been placed in. but hey we knew it would come to this, the Bible says so.
This is a time to be strengthened in taking heed to what you must do in the light of Jesus Christ.

Christians have let it slide for many years now and we will be paying for it, in reaping what has been sown.

All them church denominations have sold out for many years, they do not truly preach Jesus Christ first and foremost in anyone's life, they peddle church doctrine if that, but idolise trends.
If I start preaching Jesus Christ no one want's to hear such things because they get scared ! they fear the Lord Jesus ? they hide from him when he calls. they do not fear the Lord Jesus in the true sense, as in that they know who he truly is and that if we do not abide in him we are a curse.

The cursed make up gods too fear, oh do not offend there PC god etc etc.
I go away and stay at some place and there are cursed backward African Negro voodoo rubbish on the walls and such crap about the place, I pull them down and put them away out of my sight. my forefathers did not want that degenerate trash in this Nation at all and they were totally correct back in the days, they knew such things were deranged that only the cursed responded to. but nowadays if one had a Cross on the wall of an apartment, management would be flooded with complaints about such. See we have lost it !

Our Nations are sick infected with a type of pox that has slowly worked to come and dominate over us. who did this ? well no one stood up to it all enough as the Satanist have put fear into all, if you do not idolise their new age PC dribble, oh racist ? the racial idolatry gods have come out with so much power, you must not offend their gods as well. you must not offend all these gods now that Man has made for themselves to hide their curse behind.

You know one could come up to me and bag my Jewish heritage, such has never bothered me at all, they are free to have an opinion, they can bag my Irish or Danish etc and it's all water off a ducks back in fact, hell even I will admit if it's true, I do not hide from such, an education never was a Sin.
yes I do not support anyone's crappy traits in my Nation and I am man enough to point such out. The radical IRA type are not welcome by me for one, is that wrong of me, is that racist of me ? No I have my right to have my own opinions and they are not born out of ignorance but reality of the facts and I do not need some wind bag sook claim that I have no rights to my opinions or anyone else for that matter. they can go take a hike and go live in a communist sewer, as I do not want them sponging off me and making demands over me, no way !

Amen my friend, Amen, We are all entitled to an opinion but it all comes down to what is the truth in the end and how does it sit with God, My aunt has just been very rude toward me for an opinion of mine, its not fair, we don't deserve to be put down, cast aside or ignored. what is the world coming too? maybe people have forgotten about freedom of speech, freedom of expression, fundamental human rights that we should all abide by, i should not be mocked bc i have a different opinion, there has to be respect and mutual understanding, peace to you bro.

He does. Think about Job and what He went through. He still believed God loved him. Then he changed his mind and God had to speak to HIm to rebuke him for his lack of faith.

Even in teh dark times, Gds love and care for His own never fades. America as a naion is long overdue for judgment so do not e surprised if negative things happens to America.

Don't be discouraged. Even when God punishes a nation and overruns it with it's enemies he is careful to make it go well with the righteous....

Isaiah 3:10-11
10Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds.
11Woe to the wicked! Disaster is upon them! They will be paid back for what their hands have done.

Like in Israel of old, hopefully us real Christians are seeing the false prophets message of 'peace and prosperity' for what it is. I'm sorry that Christianity ever got attached to the Trump movement. If anything, this whole thing has been the fattening up of America for the slaughter. To the unbeliever and the fake Christian when God does that it looks like his blessing, when in fact it is not.

I used to tell myself and others that my generation was better than how it is today. WRONG! I had to wake up and see that all of us young people in the late 70's were bad to the core. We were fornicating, substance abusing, lost souls. I don't remember a good one among us. Just some not as bad as others. It's amazing to me that judgment hasn't come sooner to our wicked country. We've been rotten for quite a while now. The 60's generation really propelled us into the immorality that we are soaked in right now. We've sown the wind and are reaping the whirlwind. You think it's bad now, hang on. Hope you like Chinese food, lol.

The way I look at it is. I'm just a working class disabled person. I'm not a politician so why do I care about politics. I'm not going to worry about things I can't control. It's wasted energy. I worry about what I can control, and that's my behavior.

If the country goes to shit, I'll still be here doing my best to make it a better world in the only way I can.

Cheers April!

PS the country is headed for a UK type government under Biden, not a communist gov, if that makes you feel any better :)

I disagree. Look at China. That's where we're headed. Social credit scores administered through our cell phones, except ours will take into consideration your views on things like homosexuality and religion. Just watch. I'm sorry that Christianity got dragged into this whole Trump thing. Because we will go down with the whole Trump thing that we should have distanced ourselves from. But the lost prosperity church got us involved in it. I was for Trump only by default. I would rather live in that world than the communist life that's coming to America.

Hi @April_Rose,

Faith, Hope and Experience were walking along a wall,
Hope was fine as long as he kept his eyes on Faith,
but when he looked around to look at Experience,
he fell off the wall, along with Experience,
but Faith went walking on.​

We must keep our eyes stayed on our Saviour, Who is sat at God's right hand, far above all principalities and powers. We dare not look within ourselves, or around at others, or at the circumstances that surround us, but keep our minds and hearts stayed on Him, and on His word. For He is the same yesterday, today and forever, and His promises are sure. Man will fail us, we will fail ourselves, but He will never fail. So take heart and be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. For God has placed us, 'in Him', and we are, in spirit, where He is.

'But of Him are ye in Christ Jesus,
Who of God is made unto us wisdom,
and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
That, according as it is written,
He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.'

(1Corinthians 1:30-31)

Within the love of Christ our Saviour,
our Lord and Head.
Chris

Even so, but first things first! If our Americanism gets in the way of our Christianity, is there then any real choice for one who believes in God and His Son, Jesus?
