(and maybe even saves you one day - don't you want to live forever?) "As Rousas John Rushdooney notes: The key to remedying the world situation is NOT revolution, nor any kind of resistance that works to subvert law and order. The key is regeneration, propagation of the gospel, and the conversion of men and nations to God's laws. This is [true] because evil men cannot produce a good society. The key to renewal is regeneration." Source: He Shall Have Dominion by Kenneth Gentry, page 82 __________________________________ Regeneration is mentioned in John 3:3 where the Lord Jesus said to a Jewish leader, "You must be born again." Regeneration changes your nature. You were dead in sin and your fallen human nature was dead -- but regeneration is the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit where he makes you ALIVE and changes your nature so that NOW you CAN understand spiritual truths -- whereas before you were regenerated, spiritual truths were thought to be mere foolishness to you. The Lord Jesus will Christianize the world one person at a time. The Lord Jesus wins The War For The Wprld as noted above. The Lord Jesus NOW has been given ALL authority both in Heaven and here and Earth -- see the ending of Matthew chapter 28 JAG []
To hell with the world. Jesus Himself has said: You got that wrong. Jesus doesn't save the world, Jesus saves FROM the world. What Gospel, the one that teaches that there should be a Great Tribulation (Matthew 24) and no flesh would survive if God doesn't cut time short? Yeah, right, let's preach and propagate that.
Well the stats ain't good.... Yes, Christians are a third, but Islam is the fastest growing religion and Christianity is trending down. So what is the game plan? Should governments be promoting Christian nationalism? What if the downward trend continues?
Hello, End of the Wold is a major and central Christian teaching and belief. Jesus, St. Paul, St. John - all they said the world should go down. Wanna some quotes or you already know what I'm writing about?
The game plan is right on track. "Narrow is the gate and few who find it." Jesus never went with the crowds. Crowds went with Him. Only the committed stayed.
I am a logical person. How someone, who didn't save himself from crucifixion can save other people? And how someone who can "save one person at a time" didn't save his followers who murdered themselves (Catholics vs Protestants)? I will wait for enother savior, one with proven history of saving people.
Christianity is a death cult. All Apostles of Jesus died a horrible death. To set an example, obviously. And to show that Death is not a big deal.
Ah! The Internet! The ignorance runs deep and wide as the brainy ones hold forth. May the Farce be with ye. []
While you wait, perhaps you could delve into Who Jesus is and what He came to accomplish. Read the Gospel of John then, after that read Romans to understand the condition of mankind. Do it independently of the mind you have made up against Denominational struggles. Is it possible the Creator of everything has ways that are higher than your ways? Just give it a try. It's funny, there were those at the scene of the crucifixion shouting "He can save others but cannot save Himself". You just said the same thing. All this was recorded so we can examine ourselves. Just try it.
The exception confirms the rule. I don't pretend to be an authority. But Christianity is a death cult, I can tell you that much.
You can ridicule the ignorant or enlighten them. You have chosen, questions remain unanswered and your credibility diminished.
Of course you do, you just defined something as a death cult for which you are not an authority. Maybe you can do as much for Islam.
The whole Christian religion is build around the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. But to be resurrected first you have to die. So yes, it is a death cult.
Dying to self is something apparently you are not acquainted with. Ignorance is bliss. Again you are no authority. And only atheists and those with no authority quote the scriptures in an attempt to be some kind of legal analyst in their own minds.
Ah its Edna. I remember you here from days of old! I see you're still pecking away on the keyboard. I will answer some questions as long as they are not laced with insults to Christianity or loaded questions or from posters that I already know hate Christianity or strongly dislike it. Best JAG []
Btw, there is no such thing as The International Authority on what is, or is not, the correct measure of "diminished credibility." And no National Authority either -- so that leaves YOU as THE authority on that! Btw, some (perhaps many) would say that my credibility was enhanced if I chose not to answer questions. Maybe the Zen Buddhist would say that? Edna, may The Force be with you! Best JAG []
