Okay, so the Southern Baptists are lefties, all Black churches seem to be left wing, the Episcopalians and Catholics seem to be no big fan of American sovereignty ... tell me again how Christianity=Conservatism? Because we atheist conservatives get lectured a lot on this, but it looks to me as though fully half of American Christians are on the Left.
We are living in evil times that were spoken of long ago. People are living according to their own desires and are deviating from The Bible.
See below (and I realize you are Atheist) but it’s an omen of the times we’re living in:
2 Timothy 3:1-7
But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! 6 For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, 7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
AND...
2 Timothy 4:3-4
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.
As a Christian, what this tells me is that things in this world are about to get very ugly.
You are making a sadly reasonable point.
That’s reflective of leadership
The SBC issues stem from Atlanta ....son of Stanley....most influential libtard southern baptist preacher I know of
White Protestants in the Deep South vote 85-92% for Trump despite Nashville administrators off the reservation
Nowhere else is even close
I’ll pit that against atheists any day.
Most atheists I know are lapsed Jews or Catholics and at best run libertarian
But.....there’s always a butt
I don’t care
Vote right and prepare to fight
Like I tell race baiters here
If a klan member jumps in your foxhole with sorely needed ammo
You gonna call him a racist and tell him to leave
Can’t be purist with a civil war looming
I’ve spent the last few years looking for a way to understand what you observe and for what I think I see, both now and in relation to history.
As hobbies go, it’s kinda like looking for both the correct map and then our location on the map.
For me, the Bible has been the only thing that pretty much gives you everything, map, location, plus explanations for what it all means, etc., once you let the Holy Spirit explain it.
No, really. I’m serious. It’s the only explanation for how everything becomes increasingly more clear, and more peaceful, once you start using “Bible gobbles” to “see” things with.
But ... you gotta be small to see it all ... and very quiet, too, if you want to hear what it all means, which is the main reason for why things are as they are and you said what you said.
Being still ... and staying awake ... and waiting for the Lord ... all at the same time ... is not always the easiest test to pass.
We like our quick answers better, but while also conveniently forgetting about their consequences.
Interesting times are always interesting for a reason, per the Bible.
Dear Lady, I noticed a number of years ago that this site does not welcome “heretical” opinions and since have been enjoying it for its other virtues.
