yes, I'm extending the term to the nations that once considered themselves to be "Christian" and who followed Christian principles, at least in the main......having been strongly leavened/influenced by the gospel and bible.

What I was talking about doesn't justify anyone, but they are mitigating factors that I believe a righteous judge (or onlooker) would take into consideration. In any case it is not for us to judge/condemn, lest we ourselves be judged. Jesus does have compassion for man's "helpless estate" in...

Reminds me of Jesus talking about those who worship God with rules made up by men.....having only an appearance of righteousness.

I do not single out the American church at all......was replying to a post that was referring to the American church in that instance. All of "Christendom" is in the exact same situation as far as I can see.

Beating swords into ploughshares occurs in the heart of each believer upon becoming a new creature in Christ......working in the harvest fields instead of waging war. The real church of Jesus Christ has never engaged in crusades of the fleshly kind, only spiritual crusades for the saving of...

Oh I suspect we will see plenty of people killing each other and destroying the earth unfortunately.......iniquity and transgression come to the full.......and the lake of fire is the consuming fire that He IS, when He comes in all His unveiled glory that will burn them up like the hottest sun...

Yes, there is no law against doing good...........which is not the same thing as being entangled with the affairs and strifes of this world. Jesus told someone to even let the dead bury their own dead, but you come follow me. Congratulations for being a completely sold out victim of Satan's...

If only the church would wake up to its grave errors and acknowledge its sins, the Lord would send revival and heal our land. That's all He asks, only acknowledge it! And He would do the rest and rain down His Spirit. Instead they dig in and double down on their error. But this was foreseen...

The Lord is very capable of allowing or sending any "wounding" through various means, according to His wisdom and will, but the church is the binding up crew. Unless we think killing and maiming are fruits of the Spirit.

Hope you aren't equating taking up swords and killing people with works of faith/spirit?? That is a work of the flesh. We're supposed to be dead to this world and its strifes. God is longsuffering the world's evil in this age before the final judgment. Though He is still involved in the...

Suggest you read 1 Cor 2 and Col 1:9, for starters.

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.
