I have called you to warning on your capitalism, but you ignored me. I have called you to account about your guns, that seems to have faired a bit better. I have called you several times to account about God's wraith, but that has been wholly ignored.
Now I will give you the most blunt warning I know how to give. This is a call to arms to defend the one thing that still separates you from the Hell on Earth you are creating for yourselves and it is the one thing that you, as a wicked and decadent society, seem most Hell bent on discarding and throwing out. In a word: GOD.
Revelation 21:8 - But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Ezekiel 16:49-50 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.50 And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw [good].
You, Americans, you have taken the Freedoms given only by God and you have used them instead to destroy God in your country. You allow the enemies of God to defile the very freedoms and culture that can be possible only under a Judeo-Christian faith. Unsatisfied with just your own lands, you now seek to push this evil upon all other men, both Greater and Lesser.
You follow the failable heart of men, hanging on to illogical feelings and ignoring the Truth and the logic of that Truth.

“Oh and you hypocrites, do not write to me and tell me: but I am worthy because I do believe in God but I feel so oppressed and that is why I sit quietly while evil rides amok. You are worse then the sinners, because you are cowards, knowing better but committed to self preservation before all, willing to watch good Men sacrificed on the Alter of Satan’s Lies and Sin so as not to be disturbed. You have given yourself to money and easy life, while wearing a thin veneer of Christ.”
Is he different from the Russian God?
Too late, we have already fallen into the darkness, all we are waiting for is to hit the bottom...
Except for a few details, an otherwise good article and on the mark.
I agree. Too bad so many Americans are so willing to give up God.
It is perfectly obvious what is God's and what is not. I will give to the current anti-American, anti-God government the things that are not God's, and follow God with everything else.
God’s Wraith?
The Anabaptist plague on Europe
Funny thing is: many Catholics on FR would agree with him
While every devout Christian in America grieves for what is happening to us, as mostly described in this lead article, to be lectured by Pravda, of all people, is really galling.
There are some of us around who remember Pravda well. Pravda is supposed mean “truth” in Russian if memory serves me right, it was anything but truth, it was atheist/communist lies from the pit of hell.
While I for one have rejoiced in Russia overthrowing her godless overlords - no fan of Putin, but what they have now is obviously better than what they had - I suspect the spirit of some of this stuff we get thrown at us now from “Pravda” amounts to camouflaged hatred for America left over from the cold war.
Not so much genuine concern for America as it is hope - they hope we do go down the tubes.
Looks to be too late for America. This country has become a deviant cesspool, actively embracing evil. Seeing such grotesque, anti-God insanity as fag-marriage take hold is proof enough that America is entering its death phase.
I hate to say it, and it’s weird in the face of what little I understand about Biblical eschatology, but what’s coming out of Russia is making more and more sense lately.
I don’t need Pravda to be telling me to keep God, when I remember their godless heritage from the old USSR days.
We’ll be keeping God and Jesus in Christmas without any help from Pravda.
We’re going to say “Merry Christmas” regardless what the atheists, pagans and anti-Christians think about it!
SO ... Merry Christmas to one and all ...
Matthew 1:18-25
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit.
19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly.
20 But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
21 And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”
22 So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying:
23 “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”
24 Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife,
25 and did not know her till she had brought forth her firstborn Son. And he called His name Jesus.
Luke 1:26-35
26 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,
27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary.
28 And having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!”
29 But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was.
30 Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus.
32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David.
33 And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.”
34 Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I do not know a man?”
35 And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.
Luke 2:4-20
4 Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David,;
5 to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child.
6 So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered.
7 And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9 And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid.
10 Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people.
11 For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
12 And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.”
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:
14 “Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”
15 So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, “Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.”
16 And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger.
17 Now when they had seen Him, they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child.
18 And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
19 But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart.
20 Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them.
John 1:1-18
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.
11 He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.
12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:
13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
15 John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me is preferred before me, for He was before me.’ “
16 And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace.
17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.
Orthodox and Catholics have much in common, including a long history of shared popes until the schism. So finding they also share an antipathy to reformational believers should not be too surprising. If institutional pedigree trumps personal faith, reformation is heresy and there is no basis for re-baptism (hence ana-Baptist, though the label is oversimplified - much good and much bad all lumped together). Institutionally, they survived. Russian Orthodox priests became evangelists for atheism when Lenin got the helm of state. The truly faithful had to go underground. No, I do not take Prada too seriously here. The Lord knows His own.
Biblical eschatology and Russia in the same sentence, and this is supposed be be a good thing (making more and more sense)? I think not, here is some eschatology you may not be aware of, the Gog-Magog prophecy of Ezek. 38 and 39. Russia in alliance with Iran and assorted other Muslim countries attacking Israel in a major end time war.
