🫡 THE GR8 AWAKENING 🔆
Is this a Christian movement. Yes I know there R many that are and even some that don't yet say they are..and we invite them in all the same. So I'm curious how you all see things.
Laws against murder is not by any stretch of the imagination exclusive to Christianity.
The same thing with the Ten Commandments, save for the one about not worshipping other gods. Yet there are no laws forbidding people from worshipping other gods.
In fact, the first amendment gives us the right to worship who we choose, if we choose.
So right there the US Constitution contradicts the Bible.
I'm still looking for how the US being a Christian nation affects our lives. I really wish someone would answer this for me. What does it mean to you? I'm not talking about what our forefathers were doing when they were writing the Constitution. I'm talking about how it affects things now.
I get the impression that people subconsciously believe that Christians should get special, preferential treatment, but don't want to come out and say it. And there have been the odd few who think that only Christians should be allowed to live here.
Going to all the trouble of laying out all this trying to prove that the US is a Christian nation is pointless if there is no benefit in it for Christians.
The fact that we are currently in a place where the entire world has been invited inside our walls without our consultation does complicate things, but what do you mean by special treatment?
I think we understand that some/all types of Islam have trouble coexisting with other religions. Where Christianity will just debate you and talk to you, Islam may occasionally decide to remove heads or tax the unconverted at 90% rates. If the special treatment is not being forced to convert to Islam or die, then yes, we would generally like that special treatment.
There are real issues with thinking everyone can just live together in close proximity with any sort of population/culture mixture and under the same laws while strumming guitars around a campfire. The feeling on that front is likely mutual between abortion clinic operators and evangelical pastors, for instance.
Well, for instance, when a 100 foot tall statue of a Hindu monkey god goes up in a land, Christians believe that place is cursed. When child sacrifice is prevalent in any area, those people have a tendency to get wiped out hard.
So yes, the benefit is that God’s wrath doesn’t hit us like 2lb lugnut hailstones falling from the sky, which we don’t like.
We also believe we should be able to raise our children praying in school, which was the case until the 1960s (and in some places, even to the 80’s and 90’s)
You might argue that the curse is all in our minds, we would argue that you are seeing the early judgments of those curses play out in front of your eyes right now, and without repentance they will get much worse.
Do you believe that only Christians should live here? Or simply exclude Muslims?
This is the type of thing I mean about special treatment. I'm going to go out on a limb and say you would not be happy if schools started having school wide Islamic prayers every school day. Yet you wish for the return of school led praying for Christians. I think that's a very good example of what I mean by special treatment.
Haha so, one fault you should point out with us when we say that is, “You’re pleading with men for mercy, why aren’t you pleading with your God instead if he’s so powerful and you’re so faithful?”
And you’d be right in pointing that out, though it certainly puts you in the bad position of Pharaoh, but that’s only important if it’s real, I guess.
Frankly I think some people need that kick, so you could consider it a public service.
