THE SAD DEMISE OF CHRISTIANITY
I am so sick of hearing from TV commentators that they need to go to church to 'publicly express their faith.' NO! The only way to do that is to obey God in your everyday life. To be a subject of the Kingdom of God [Jesus] one must have stopped sinning Jn. 8:34-36, 1 Jn. 3:4-10, be 'doing the will of God' Mat. 7:21-23, and be living like Jesus lived. 1 Jn. 2:3-6 Rom. 6 explains it all clearly. Read it in the NIV That is the ONLY way you will influence non-believers to consider Christianity as viable and valuable. America not only desperately needs a revolution, but even more desperately needs a reformation within the churches across the nation. In the absence of that, no matter what a revolution accomplishes, society will remain the same cesspit that it is now. Fear of God deals with sin! Ex. 20:20
Being a Christian is having God as a friend. Enjoying a personal relationship with Him. Just one sin can destroy that. Consistently doing what is right will sustain that relationship. Relationships require knowledge of the other’s personality and character.
Adam & Eve ‘died’ [spiritually] due to one sin. Lost their relationship with God. Cain was told: If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.” Gen. 4:7 NIV
One who loves a pure heart and who speaks with grace will have the king for a friend. Prov. 22:11
One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. Prov. 18:24
Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day. Gen. 3:8 Friends visiting one another.
The LORD would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend. Ex. 33:11
Living each day with the knowledge that your friend, God, is right there with you, allows you to experience abundant life, with a clear conscience, confidence, security, and a healthy self-esteem. It takes great determination and discipline to get to know God. He promises to reveal Himself to those who search for Him with all their hearts. Jer. 29:11-14 His autobiography offers us all a clear insight into His character and personality. That’s where we must go with an open heart and mind and with deep, heartfelt hunger for knowledge of Him.
You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless? Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. And the scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,” and he was called God’s friend. Js. 2:23
“Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. Rev. 22:14-15 Very clear truth, folks. If you pretend to be something you are not, you go to hell!! Think on that for a time. I met many clergy who pretended to be what they knew they were not, when I spent 19 years researching religion in the USA. Some of them were downright sleaze balls! Look at Raphael Warnock or Al Sharpton. They are no more Christian than Stalin was. It broke my heart!
My heart aches, & my eyes weep & a fire burns in my gut when I see how homo-sapiens have been acting recently. If you’re not outraged by this then you are part of the problem. Have you seen the news regarding Porn Hub? You need to. If you are a moral creature, you will be stunned. I am ashamed to be a part of the same species of primates who have degraded themselves so shamelessly. Look what those radical Demon-rats are doing and saying! George Gascon & Eric Swalwell are just two examples of how low humans can go. They know they are lying but they do it in front of cameras with straight faces and Richard Fowler does it with an evil smirk! We can add Barack, Hillary, Joe, and several es-leaders of our intelligence agencies, and some in the FBI to the examples now.
A false gospel has been preached for 150 years now. The result is exactly what we see across America [and the rest of the world] There is no fear of God and no light shining into the darkness, as God's children have been commanded to do. A Christian is one who lives in Christ, and in Him there is NO SIN!! 1 Jn 3:4-10 So if you are in Him, you do NOT sin. Simple kindergarten logic, folks. If you are still a sinner, you are not a Christian, and you have NOTHING to testify to, or to demonstrate to the ungodly, even if you add ‘saved by grace’ to ‘sinner.’ The first believers were all referred to as being ‘in Christ.’ That description has not changed, in God’s eyes. The only place sin is possible is outside of Christ. Today’s preachers love to use Rom 8:1 as a way of ‘comforting all the sinners who are listening to them.’ They have assured them all that they are ‘saved’ for whatever reason they have come up with, and tell them that in spite of their continued sin they are not condemned!! A That’s as big a lie as China Joe is in the habit of spewing to us. The wage of sin is ALWAYS spiritual DEATH.
America will never be the 'city on a hill' until God's children start living in the light as Jesus is in the light, and shine the light of Christ into the darkness, dispelling that darkness and exposing evil. You CANNOT expose evil when you are evil yourself! Sin is evil in God’s eyes. Not rocket science folks. Every 'Christian' I have spoken to unashamedly confesses to being a sinner! There is no such thing as a Christian sinner. Please read 1. Jn. 3:4-10 I believe God, and I strongly encourage you to do the same. Hell is for a VERY long time to keep remembering that you were told the truth and ignored or rejected it. The Greek text did NOT include ‘continues to’ or ‘keeps on,’ or ‘practice,’ so please don’t believe your preacher when he assures you that John was referring to ‘practiced’ or ‘consistent,’ or ‘repetitive’ sin. John simply wrote ‘sin’ without any adjectives.
In 1831 The French Government sent a renown political philosopher and historian to the USA to find out how this fledgling nation was racing out ahead of all other nations on the planet. Precisely, what is America’s strength that makes her so great? Alexis de Torcqueville was given the job. After spending months examining the young national government, the schools, and centers of commerce, he still had not found America’s strength. Then somebody suggested he start attending churches. It was only several weeks later that he was convinced he had found America’s strength, and returned to France where he boldly reported: America is great because Americans are good, and if Americans ever cease to be good, America will cease to be great. This was when the ‘Holiness Movement’ was sweeping the nation. The pulpits were aflame with righteousness. I flinch in asking you the obvious question: Are Americans good today?
The most respected research institute in America has recently reported on Christianity, and Dr, Barna has no hesitation in assuring us that ‘American Christianity’ is rotting from the inside out. At the same time as Dr, Barna published his report, a group of so-called evangelical leaders across the country had the audacity to make a ‘movie’ called ‘NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH.’ I paid twenty bucks to watch this ‘movie’ and heard a bunch of men and women doubling down on the exceptionally false doctrine they have been spewing from pulpits for 150 years. Rather than being terribly alarmed at the rapid decline in numbers of folks calling themselves Christians over the past decade, they doubled down on what has caused these pew-warmers to vacate their pews in their millions. I do not believe this is coincidental at all. I truly believe God ordained this to get our whole and undivided attention. America, today, is held in contempt by her allies and is mocked by her adversaries. Americans are very obviously NOT good! Every preacher I heard at a pulpit while I lived in America told his ‘flock’ they were all sinners, as was he. They could never be perfect, or stop sinning. They really needed to believe that Jesus had washed away all their sins by His blood on Calvary’s Mount and understand that they had been pronounced righteous by God, because He had given them the righteousness of Christ! Those are Satanic lies that have caused Christianity to rot from within. God offers us something very opposite to that all through His life manual. It is logical and reasonable to believe that if Christians were living righteous lives, like that of Jesus [as we have all been commanded to] 1 Jn. 2:3-6 The Church would be held in high esteem and respect, rather than a bunch of hypocrites in great need of props.
Dr, Barna shared the result of his [and his team’s] serious research into today’s Christianity. He virtually said what I have been saying for twenty years, except he did not offer any reason how this rot has infected Christianity over decades. My own research has uncovered the reason for this infestation of rot. I wrote a book describing my research, and its conclusions. It is undeniably the most influential book on the market today, as it clearly describes where the churches have gone wrong, and how Christians can actually live righteous lives that will attract sinners to the ‘fold’ like moths to lights. My life has been so radically and miraculously transformed from filthy pervert to a saint, and brand-new creation. If God can make that of a life that was so shameful that I literally despised myself, then He can do the same for any low-life or ‘good person.’ I passionately desire He does that for each of you. And I passionately desire that America becomes the shining city on a hill for the rest of the world to look at in jaw-dropping awe. Wouldn’t you like both of those to be true? I know that every single decent, patriotic person could not reply in the negative to that. My book, ‘A Nation Broken’ is available from Amazon and B & N. I have also posted many articles relating to this issue here, for your understanding of the mater……https://www.facebook.com/beatsatan
