Threat vs. Personal Sovereignty

The "threat" we present is challenging their wrong ideas. They know they have no defense except to accuse or abuse. They accuse us of challenging their personal sovereignty, which is not the case, and so tyrannically call for loss of our freedoms to force us into their way of thought. First they try to marginalize us, then jail us, then kill us.

MLK AND OPHRA HAVE BEEN A CURSE TO THE BLACK RACE
| Posted On: 02/17/08 12:31:25 AM |

Jesus says to judge by the fruit. What is the fruit of the civil rights movement. The black race in this nation were oppressed by men but now they seem oppressed by drugs, crime, murder, disease and the Devil himself. Even the black churches seem to be demanding their rights from God. I have heard people get up and claim a Rolls Royce from God by so called prayer when they could not even afford the gas for such a car. The black race used to be oppressed but they were humble and seemed like true Christians to me back when i was just a kid. I look back on many black people who seem like heroes to me now. But now I do not like most all of black culture. It is loud, arrogant, and anti-Christ. Not many seem to be encouraging people to be around. I think that MLK would have made a far better example to appeal to the Lord Jesus rather than government for justice. I really have a hard time seeing that MLK did anything good for anyone. The black race seems to be far worse off now then they were before MLK. Yes they have more equality and more rich blacks now but they seem much further from the Lord Jesus then they were then. It seems to me the whole nation is worse off now then it was then. The whole nation back then would have thrown Ophra Winfrey out of instead of making her a hero. Lou

WE FIND JESUS BY HIS MERCY AND GRACE

I am told by so called intelligent thinkers that I have an IQ in the upper 1% but that did not help me to find the Lord Jesus. I tried to search out the truth but had to admit it was far beyond me. When I admitted this and threw myself on the mercy of my Creator; He in His mercy revealed himself to me. I have also seen retarded people who knew the Lord Jesus and some found Him much easier than I did. So Christians are no more intelligent than atheists; it is just that we have asked for the mercy of God and by His grace and our good fortune he is a God of mercy.

JESUS SAYS - FOLLOW ME

Dear friend, you say, "that is my right to do so". In your zeal didn't you misspeak. Have not we given up all of our rights to the Lord Jesus and are we not His slaves or bond servants. I have no right or do not want to vote my opinion in this election but only want to search and find out what i can about all who are running. Then I want to seek His face and vote the way He leads me to vote. Is it not better to be lead by the Author of the Book rather than the Book. I read the Book looking for my Lord than I walk with, talk with, and follow Him who shed His blood for me. Lou

Standing for Christ?

Could someone please explain to me what is "Christian" about taking an oath to defend something, only to break it promptly? Could someone please explain what is "Christian" about taking campaign contributions and spending them on one's wife? Could someone please explain what is "Christian" about signing on with Rick Warren's globalist plan to "fix" the world's problems? You see, the last two Mr. Huckabee has already done--and the first would happen right after he took the presidential oath. Justify those if you can.--Mrs. Pilgrim

All the translations of The Book that I have say Only Jesus is The Judge. It also says ALL CREATION moans for the sons of God to be revealed. So how can any of us no if Huck is like David or Daniel. Is there any difference judging someone is going to hell than judging someone is a saint. The Catholics think they can determine this and they are wrong. It is a dangerous thing to say that we can do the job of The Lord Jesus Christ. Don't you agree dear friend. Lou

We have to understand that we are on Israel's timetable now. The church age is coming to an end. God is separating the wheat from the shaft. This is the falling away that Saint Paul the Apostle spoke of in his second epistle to the Thessalonians. We need to be hard at work bringing in the harvest. Pray the LORD will send in more workers to the fields for harvesting. The wedding supper of the LAMB OF GOD is near and our LORD JESUS CHRIST will come to rule and reign with his Saints. Be ready!!!!

Paul wrote to Timothy that there will come

Apostasy is like drift wood...it wanders and dries up
| Posted On: 02/16/08 02:16:22 PM |
Age 64, OR |
It really started when those in the church pulpit (we put them there folks!) were allowed to preach and teach secular topics. When shepherd/pastors/teachers stopped teaching and preaching the Scripture (book by book, chapter by chapter, verse by verse, word by word, thought by thought) then that is when the Church started on its apostate drift from TRUTH. These liberal pastors (mostly products of apostate liberal seminaries) changed focus away from God to man-made church "programs" and "church growth". They opened church doors to everyone, where the church is only for believers. They diluted the Word with the lie. Their focus became on creating books, tapes, CD's/DVD's, apostate bible versions, etc. to get rich. They gathered their wealth on Earth and robbed themselves of "treasures in Heaven"...saving the lost. These will be sifted as sand at judgment by God.

Liberalism within Christendom is rampant
| Posted On: 02/16/08 02:07:11 PM |
Age 64, OR |
When you speak of the "Left" one immediately draws conclusions as it being "Democrat" when it is not. The purveyors of liberalism/socialism/communism are rampant and fast-growing within the Church - apostate as they are. There are those in Christian "demoninations" and "non-denomination evangelicals" also propogating liberalist thought to dilute Biblical Christianity and to deceive the saints. They have lost their "salt and light" to be 'man-followers'. God will hold those in higher judgment and they will eternally be lost in hell with their father of lies, Satan. So Christians, you must be very cautious about becoming "man-followers" in compromising what Christian beliefs you have when you chase after Warren, Huckabee, McCain, Romeny, Wallis, McLaren, Hybels, Osteen, et al. To be a "man-pleaser" is to be anti-Christ. Think about it and be a Berean (Acts 17:11) and prove it to be true to yourself. Do you love God/Jesus, or do you love Satan - the father of lies? You choose.

Tolerance?

Age 26, TX |
Quote:
"For instance, take one of the most divisive social issues of our time: abortion. Christian fundamentalists believe that human life begins at conception and should be protected by government. So what do we do? We work through the legal process and the political process to elect representatives who share this view."
...and blow up an abortion clinic or two.
...and protest at a dead soldier's funeral because he was killed as a result of our "toleration of abortion".
Give me a break. When you start to care as much about life OUTSIDE the womb and get behind something like, say, universal medical care for those kids once they're born, maybe the rest of the country will listen.
And judging by the previous hate-filled responses above I'm having a hard time believing that intolerance is such a virtue. You're not even capable of tolerance within evangelical circles, always on the warpath against the "emerging church" and how they're all going to hell because they don't interpret the Bible as literally as you. It is equally hard for me to believe that the Fundamentalist Right has no intention of taking over government (just look at the Worldview Weekend logo!) given the political machine it has been for the last 20 or so years...only now when it appears that you are losing momentum and the golden opportunity is slipping away from you does it become time to play the persecution card.
The only thing the Left is intolerant of is intoleration itself by those who would gain power in order to dictate matters of conscience, whether that group be Fundamentalist Christians or anyone else. Liberals really have no problem with any form of Christianity as long as it doesn't seek pre-eminence and special privilege over every other religion or way of thought. Learn to live with the fact that all men were created equal and are free to believe as they choose, and that our founders actually designed it this way.

The Price of Tolerance
| Posted On: 02/16/08 01:01:32 AM |
Age 51, TX |
It is strange that people claiming to be "Fundamentalists", that is, someone who takes the Bible in the literal in sense, would consider themselves to not be a threat to these antichrists. At the very least, a Fundamentalist should be salt in the wounds of these God haters. When are we all going to wake up and realize that MLK was a thesis plagiarist, a communist sympathizer, and groomed change agent. "Civil rights" was the very thing that took away the power of Christians in our society. It is the "civil rights" movement that forced upon us the lesbian values of the so-called women's movement, and the same rubric is now forcing upon us the values of sodomites. It seems to me Fundamentalists have seen the inspiration of the scriptures, as inspiration to belief in the Love of God, and then inspiration to totally ignore the Wrath of God. These antichrists have become our lords and masters because we did not thrash them when we were dominant. We let effeminate "pastors" get away with doing nothing, and ostracized men with guts enough to sound off and blast the evil with the prophet's voice. The Christians who founded this country had no problem with pastors leading armed militia against the British, and fought under the battle cry “No King but Jesus.” It seems to me that church funding has become more important that “sinners in the hands of an angry God,” and that looking-good to the community is more important than teaching a Bloody Gospel. We have been conquered by tolerance, and we are now enslaved by its horrible tentacles. It seems to me that these atheists have a better sense of what the Bible teaches than do fundamentalists. They understand the that real Christians, a salty church militant, is the greatest threat they face. When are we going to realize the power of Jesus Christ, and quit letting aliens, the antichrists, steal our grain before we are finish threshing it? How about a Christianity based upon “be strong and courageous”, and the spunk of Joshua and Gideon? How about a Church that is fighting it out, rather than hiding out waiting for the end? If we were doing our calling, these antichrists would be under a real threat from our power. As things stand, they see the theoretical threat, and like good “civil rights” activists, enslave us a little more by making us cower in the name of that Ba’al god: TOLERANCE. Choose which way people, back to Egypt, or serve God in the Promised Land?

"Only Jesus Saves" defines a Christian from the Apostates
| Posted On: 02/15/08 09:00:01 PM |
Age 45, NJ |
Tim it was so clear that we must declare Jesus alone is the Salvation of man that I given the task of starting OnlyJesusSaves.com. At first I capitulated to the mass hysteria and started JesusSaves.com. But when the Holy Spirit of God made it clear this was not "good enough" I then realized where I had bowed to ecumentalism. What TRULY stunned me, however, was finding in a "Christian" dominated society the url available that declared what Jesus Himself said: OnlyJesusSaves.com. But once I began to obey God in sharing my faith I started to find out just HOW few there are that travel the narrow way.
The defining declaration of a Christian is to stand on Christ Alone for their salvation AND to be joyfully willing to die on that hill that He is also the only salvation for anyone else too.
A man a friend knows uses a billboard when he preaches the Gospel on the street which reads "Which One is Right?" and then he lists off at least 20 different religions. Faith systems like Islam, Buddhism, Feminism, Homosexuality, Evolution...
I have used this same approach and found as he does that the GREATEST RESISTANCE to the unequivocal foundation of Jesus Alone as Savior comes from the professing Christians who are satisfied to go to their Churches weekly mutely passing sinners in the street.
I too was a mute false convert for a VERY long time until I realized I could no longer BE SILENT. Only then was I obedient to the Gospel; only then was I born again. And only then did I realize my great responsibility.
If you are ready to obey Jesus and seek the lost then learn how to do so effectively and biblically, the Way Jesus did.

And thanks Tim for being a Christian Right Wing Fascist Fundie like me.
See you on the streets and in the voting booth!

AMERICA'S PASTOR???
| Posted On: 02/15/08 07:13:24 PM |
Age 64, OR |
The moniker (America's Pastor) given to Rick Warren is as apostate to the spiritual gift of "pastor" as you can get. A "pastor" is a shepard of a "flock" of believers. All Americans could not be considered authentic Christian believers (as Warren and his ilk are NOT) because many are Christian in name only, secularists, anti-Christian, atheists, poly-theists, etc.. Warren and others like him may have a flock but they definately are not truly Christian as the Bible teaches.

INTELLIGENT THINKERS?
| Posted On: 02/15/08 07:08:31 PM |
Age 64, OR |
To say "To give these folks their due, they are very intelligent thinkers." is to discredit God's Word which says the "wisdom of man is but folly to God". I'd think that "intelligence" has to include the ability for rational reasoning which secular humanist are void of. A truly intelligent person would weigh both sides of an issue, study the positions in depth without forming concrete opinion. Concrete opinion by secular humanists who do all they can to discredity Christian fundamental thought/believe is a polar opposite from rational reasoning.

What Happened?

Age 58, NC |
I asked God that exact question several years ago. His answer was "The Wizard of OZ." Thinking I was going nuts, I asked for more and the Holy Spirit showed me that when I was young and the whole family gathered around the TV once a year to watch this television classic, we were too naive to recognize that we were being introduced to secular humanism. The Wizard(God) is all smoke and mirrors, you have within yourself every thing you need. "Starwars" added to this illusion, the "force" is within you, Luke Skywalker. Patents have failed because the Church has failed to remain a "separate people" and rather than forsaking that which is unclean we have embraced it. Read "The Church in the Wilderness" being released this spring to see how we can turn the tide.

Regardless

My vote and stance regarding such issues as abortion and legalizing gay marriage is still a vote regardless of the reason. If I choose to not go along with the popular "Christian" agenda as postulated by Warren, that is my right to do so regardless of the fact that such a choice is motivated by my interpretation of the Bible. And if I, as a leader in the church, choose to be obedient to God's Word and, using Scripture, warn others about the wolves who are deceiving many, I am simply doing my job as a church leader and am not violating any government laws or infringing upon anyone's right to refuse to accept Christ as their Lord and Savior. The desire of the "Left" is to quiet the Christian leaders, and to convince as many "Christians" as possible to follow their lead -- because, after all, their vote to pass laws and to ammend the constitution is what matters the most.
