SignUp Now!Making compromises with the world, then the world will have trouble seeing the light of Christ we are to bear witness of.
The world is making compromises with sin to call it not sin, thus removing the need for Jesus to deliver them from those sins.
So they will not like it when those who tell the truth about what sin is so that sinners may hear the Good News and have that choice to call on Jesus Christ to save them from those sins and to have eternal life by believing in Him.
Matthew 5:10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. 13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. 14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
I do agree since those elected officials on both sides seem to love money more than God and so it is really on the church to take care of the poor and do the very things Christ taught us to do by His grace & by His help.I do not believe in either Liberalism OR Conservativism, I believe in Jesus. Now I KNOW He did not and does not approve of Ethnic prejudice, Nationalism, Supremacy doctrines, nor does He favor the very wealthy, and clearly does not support intimidating people with guns into obeying their way. I do KNOW from Scripture He offered Himself for ALL EQUALLY and believed whole heartedly in feeding the poor, caring for the fatherless and the widows, healed ALL who came to Him, and believed in housing the homeless and clothing the naked and so on. So as actual people born of His Spirit, who do we support? The Sheep or the Goats (Matthew 25:31-46)? Do you treat and think of the least of these His brethren as He would have treated them? Do YOU live like Jesus and act as He would act? This is the measuring rod. Real faith produces these works.
As an outsider, I can see clearly that conservatism and liberalism are being hijacked by political parties with an angle towards christianity for their own political gains. They make money. And those who blindly follow the political parties, they let their thought process seep and corrupt their spiritual identities.
By His grace & by His help, I am looking for the Bridegroom to come at any momentIt is odd that liberalism is doing all the restrictions on speech, on freedom, as well as making rules for others outside their belief but allowing themselves to get away with everything. But November is coming soon and law and order for ALL will be taking them by the throat and bringing a scripture to mind! (Gal 6:7) WHATSOEVER!!!! A PERSON SOWS THAT SHALL THY REEP!!! Does not matter whether a person believes in the Word of God or not, just as whatever goes up must come down, the LAW of SPIRIT supersedes all logic! Personally, I cannot wait!
Democratic doesn't always mean liberal, and Republican doesn't always mean conservative.
But as a rule, The Democratic party supports LGBT, abortion, government rule in everything, and legalizing mind altering drugs.
The main agenda these days seems to be confusing children as to what gender/sex they are.
The Republicans have their faults to be sure. But the majority oppose the issues above.
AndI was raised in a Democratic Christian house. It was strictly Christian, and especially my grandparents, who were military and teachers/principals of a school. They kept the church doctrines such as no smoking, drinking and even dancing was prohibited. They did pass down the scripture to me.
I have a series of verses prepared of how God is a liberal, but this gets confused when it is brought unto mankind. I don't feel like posting any of them, but I have put some on previous threads like this. The total ideaology of the liberal party does not express the whole Christian view. The same can be said about the Conservative party. The Conservative party gets most the credit of being the 'Christian' party nowadays.
I don't think the political affiliation is dependent on one being Christian. All political parties are sinful, and dead center makes the most sense. What I would describe myself as is a Liberal Republican, but not a Libertarian.
In this current world it appears as if the nation is spiralling downward into destruction. Whether you are left or right, I don't think you will escape God's judgement. Yeah, I think you will have to think outside the box.
One thing I have observed is that both parties love money more than God.Democratic doesn't always mean liberal, and Republican doesn't always mean conservative.
But as a rule, The Democratic party supports LGBT, abortion, government rule in everything, and legalizing mind altering drugs.
The main agenda these days seems to be confusing children as to what gender/sex they are.
The Republicans have their faults to be sure. But the majority oppose the issues above.
Smells of New World Order's agenda to reduce the world's population to half a billion with this above as another measure in place as a means to curtail the population growth rate.Oh yeah, the gay minority. The truth is they are trying to practically bring back chemical castration for gays by using Puberty Blockers/sex change therapy. The battle is underway in Great Britain actually trying to protect these confused youth who are having their voices smeared. The British government has pointed out that the doctors who are the main source of the information have outright lied about the statistics to their studies. However these studies are still being used.
Evidence for puberty blockers use very low, says NICE
The assessment of the drugs is part of a review into gender identity services for young people.www.bbc.com
"The National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) said existing studies of the drugs were small and "subject to bias and confounding".
[BOLD] Bias and confounding is way to nice of a way to put it. If you take a day to go over the research papers you will find out the doctors outright lied about reporting their findings. [/BOLD]

8 All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.
9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
10 Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.
11 There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.
Well, we are not to fear anything but since it has been prophesied and the world governments are talking about the New World Order and that bio chip for buying & selling is in use in Europe but it is not the mark of the beast yet because it is not the only means to buy & sell, we should be made aware of the progressive decline of morality in the world in what it is heading towards as the bigotry towards Christians will be apparent after the rapture event.Yeah, and population fear is a conservative thing. I chock this up to the fearful and unbelieving, which is why I refuse to be a conservative (Revelation 21:8). I do not fear it because I meditate on what Solomon said in Ecclesiastes 1:9 that, "There is nothing new under the sun."
Population is not even. Asia makes up for 60% of world population. This is nothing new for the Hans Dynasty which has boasted being 1/4 of the world population since 2 C.E.

After this the findings are something else. I believe the state of the world is by ratio practically the same as the beginning. I am not in fear by any fearmongers who are trying to rile people up because one nation is rising faster than another one nowadays.
"According to the results of the 2015 Revision, the world population reached 7.3 billion as of mid2015
(table 1), implying that the world has added approximately one billion people in the span of the last
twelve years. Sixty per cent of the global population lives in Asia (4.4 billion), 16 per cent in Africa (1.2
billion), 10 per cent in Europe (738 million), 9 per cent in Latin America and the Caribbean (634 million),
and the remaining 5 per cent in Northern America (358 million) and Oceania (39 million). China (1.4
billion) and India (1.3 billion) remain the two largest countries of the world, both with more than 1 billion
people, representing 19 and 18 per cent of the world’s population, respectively"
I agree but it is our call to say when they are not abiding in Him to correct them by the scriptures because they are still His even if they became former believers.Liberals tend to seek to follow the ethics and teaching of Jesus Christ. So in their minds they are Christians. Many deny the divinity of Jesus. John 14:28 Jesus says. "The father is greater than I".
In John 10:30 he declares, "I and the Father are one". claiming equality with Jehovah.
I don't think it is our call to say who's a Christian and who isn't.
If a person is intersexed/intergendered physically or neurologically and they want to change their body to fit their brain so what. Why is it anybody else business other than the patient and the doctor?Oh yeah, the gay minority. The truth is they are trying to practically bring back chemical castration for gays by using Puberty Blockers/sex change therapy. The battle is underway in Great Britain actually trying to protect these confused youth who are having their voices smeared.
