I'm sure it means apostasy. But I'm not going to get into an OSAS argument here, nope. ;)

Oh for goodness sakes, this is silly.....I forget where it says it, Proverbs or Ecclesiastes maybe....."do not be over-righteous".

Sister, we have the same problems going on here as you have in the USA. England and Australia are also in the same boat.....all of Christendom in other words....divided nations. All coming under judgment, and for much the same reasons. And God isn't judging based on political views.

Seems like someone here has "fallen from grace" as per Galations, sadly.

One big problem we have going on now (besides rampant corruption and greed), is that virtue signalling governments are trying to act like churches and be ministers of mercy, and churches are trying to act like governments, wanting to pick up a sword and be ministers of wrath. Everything is...

I didn't prophecy it, the Lord told it to me........and that was over 20 years ago. None of what is going on with Islam infiltrating the west is a surprise to me. It is God's judgment. A spirit of stupor in the form of political correctness has allowed it.

He uses government to judge those outside the church.........NOT THE CHURCH.

Depraved persons are lost souls, who have fallen prey to the enemy of their souls, many of whom have suffered abuses and emotional lacks in childhood. They are not all behaving like Nero did as a perpetrator. I'm not their judge, and since it is still the gospel age and mandate of the church...

Amen, it's SO clear. Boggles the mind how some can't see it. There is a way that seemeth right to man, but it leads to death, sadly.

Let me just add this......I believe those things in the Old Testament do serve as warnings of the judgment to come, yes. But this isn't the day of judgment yet is it? For now we are in the time of God's longsuffering that we are to account as salvation....the age of grace or the church age...

No dear, those things really happened........but for the church of the new covenant, they now serve as ensamples and parables for us, for our admonishment and learning....spiritual lessons, not carnal lessons about carnal things.

And then thanks be to God, He finally introduced a new way, the gospel of peace! Whew! A light to shine in all that terrible darkness! Beating swords into ploughshares! What do you think the rainbow was for? Pointing ahead to the gospel of mercy, thankfully! Oh my! May the Lord open the...

He speaks in parables......the Word made flesh. We are to compare spiritual with spiritual in scripture. The things of God must be spiritually discerned.

Know what the Lord told me over 20 years ago...? He gave me to know that if the west doesn't repent our nations would be taken over by another religion, and the context was Islam. It doesn't matter what else we do, we aren't going to win an argument with the Lord once He has turned to fight...

Not sure what you are trying to point out with that. That very passage says we are not to judge/govern those outside the church, only those inside.

Here is an example of what that means...........when Jesus said to the religious leaders, "If I by the finger of God heal the sick and cast out demons then the kingdom has come to you."

There is no peace between the world and the people of God......but that is not talking about war of the earthly kind. The Israelites under the old covenant waged war against their pagan enemies..........because the gospel had not yet been revealed. Now we have spiritual weapons, which are...

Ask the Lord to give you understanding of it. It's only vague for those who aren't "getting" it yet.....it is spiritually discerned. Churches should be studying and preaching the word and seeking God for wisdom......then nobody would need to tell them what policies are more aligned with God's...

Governments yes. But governments are not the church. The church has a completely different ministry/mandate. We need to discern/divide/separate between the holy and the profane (common), not mix them together. Mixture is the unclean thing that scripture says we are not to touch but come out...

Yes........and which sword was He talking about? What is the sword that DIVIDES? The sword of the Spirit, His word, is what divides. And people of the world and flesh who reject His word are often willing to take up a literal sword against those who follow Him.
