Nones are atheists, agnostics (who are atheists who don’t want to argue) and people who aren’t into any religion at all, which seems to be an atheist who isn’t motivated enough to even think about the various religions of the world.

I am technically Jewish, though I tend to not be strict as to the legal aspects of Judaism while agreeing with it more in the philosophical sense.

O LORD, grant that the day may come SOON when all those who are committed to the failure of the Gospel and the global triumph of evil are treated with the same contempt they show for your reigning Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.

Catholics continue to lose more members than they gain, with the retention rate for Hispanic Catholics (68%) being slightly higher than white Catholics (62%).

Look at all the Catholics in DC. Pelosi, Biden. They're giving Catholicism a bad name.

He upholds all things by the power of his word. not the power of our organizations.

Do we want to be upheld???
We need to so our part to individually get BACK on the foundation standard of God’s word.

“He has exalted his word even above his own name.” —Psalm 132:8
“name it and claim it” works GREAT if we are naming and claiming what God has said or promised.

Jesus told the pharisees what made his ministry work... and why their prayers and ministries were a failure...

There are parts of religions everywhere that work in some fashion... because they in part, are parallel with what mankind intrinsically knows about things God has said.

IE: Karma works because the underlying principle was built into the original creation by God... what a man soweth that shall he also reap.

To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven.... it’s a fact. We can readily see we are in a season where “falling away” is in process... but as there is a “falling away” there also will be a season for gathering the “living stones” together.

No matter what we see going on, at the proper season (kairos), God’s promises will come to pass... When they say “where is the promise of His coming?” there comes that moment in future history, where HE shows up. the one that left us here will return for us at last.

Forever, oh Lord, thy word is settled in Heaven. —Psalm 119:89.
Whoso keepeth His word, in him verily, is the love of God, perfected. —1 John 2:5

I belong to an evangelical Christian church who has none of those and is growing like crazy. Love how you atheists are always explaining to Christians what God thinks.

Being that I grew up in your type of church, I’m not coming from a point of no reference.

And David was dancing before the Lord with all his might, and David was  wearing a linen ephod. So David and all the house of Israel were bringing up the ark of the Lord with shouting and the sound of the trumpet.

Then it happened as the ark of the Lord came into the city of David that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out of the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart.

So they brought in the ark of the Lord and set it in its place inside the tent which David had pitched for it; and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord. When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offering, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts. Further, he distributed to all the people, to all the multitude of Israel, both to men and women, a cake of bread and one of dates and one of raisins to each one. Then all the people departed each to his house.

But when David returned to bless his household, Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David and said, “How the king of Israel distinguished himself today! He uncovered himself today in the eyes of his servants’ maids as one of the foolish ones shamelessly uncovers himself!” So David said to Michal, “It was before the Lord, who chose me above your father and above all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the Lord, over Israel; therefore I will celebrate before the Lord.

I will be more lightly esteemed than this and will be humble in my own eyes, but with the maids of whom you have spoken, with them I will be distinguished.” Michal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death. 2 Samuel 6:14-23
