That is exactly what I think. We Christians are not defending God and we will pay the price.

I don't know whether I agree with this or not because that's the worst damn sentence construction I've seen in a month.

You guys need to look up Mark Taylor's prophetic word on sordrescue.com and watch some of his videos on youtube. He has given prophetic word about the Supreme Court justices and many other things going on in our nation.


I've never heard of him, and I'm always skeptical of people who claim to have received personal revelations apart for direct scripture, but I'll look him up for curiosity reasons.

starting to think that God is turning us over to our own wickedness


You're not crazy. You're right. Salvation History is full of examples of nations destroyed from within by moral decadence. Rome comes to mind. Regretably I believe we (this country) are headed for the same fate as that of Rome. If you want to read a good book that chronicles the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans may I suggest "Rome and Jerusalem - The clash of Ancient Civilizations" by Martin Goodman. It chronicles the tension and eventual clash between these two great cultures (Roman/Jewish) around the year 70AD (and after the crucifixtion of Jesus in 33AD). Strong similarities between what happened to the Jews after they rejected Jesus the Christ and what is happening to us here in America. Sobering.

So God does love us, so much that He gave us a gift called "free will". This one gift separates us from all the animals on earth. I was raised on a farm. I observed the animals and how they interacted within creation and their environment. Basically animals are "hardwired" to act in a certain way.....you know instinctually. No so with mankind. Man has free will. Everybody knows that....they're animals and we're humans.

My point is individually and collectively we make choices in the exercise of this free will. Good choices have good consequences......bad choices have bad consequences. Some of those bad choices can have really bad consequences. A tax subsidized Planned Parenthood is killing babies at the rate of 332+ thousand annually, and nobody seems to be able to stop the carnage. We keep electing people who continue to support genocide.

You connect the dots!

Shouldn’t Christians be happy about this? Don’t you want the lord to come back? Why all the bitching about society turning evil then?



Paul warns Christians directly in the New Testament that they shouldn't take part in evil to expedite Jesus' return.

I might agree that it is unjust to force a man to pay for his neighbor, but it isn’t immoral or moral.


Ahh, that is a textbook definition of stealing where I come from, and I am fairly certain that theft is one of those pesky moral things..,

And about all the other useless crap you mentioned...well yes science and justice are not necessarily moral issues however when science lies (or has a political agenda) it dips its ties in that deep morality pool....

Why is it if a Christian person tries to influence society by either preaching the gospel, trying to use groups or coalitions to change laws or using social media to push causes, characterized as trying to push their morals on others. But, when a progressive tries to push their ecological demands, strained definitions about sexuality or irrational gun ownership restrictions on me, it isn't defined as a push to force their morals on me? How is trying to force me under penalty of law to call a man with a penis a woman, not a moral issue? How is forcing me under the penalty of law to buy health insurance not a moral issue? How is forcing me to pay through taxes for people who refuse to work not a moral issue?


Because in their minds you are wrong and they are not. Therefore they are not pushing their morals on you, but making you do the right thing vs allowing you to do the wrong thing.

To be fair, Paul also warned of the dangers of allowing women to participate in legislative and doctrinal matters and of wearing one’s hair too long

The leftist moralists are far more dangerous. At least we have Constitutional protection form religious moralists establishing a government around their version of morality.

No. We are instructed to persuade others to be born again and depart from evil.

The point of the thread is that it's only defined as forcing morals on someone when those morals are Christian in nature.


I have a feeling you and I would disagree on a LOT of topics, but not that statement.

And except for the long hair part, we would have been better off if heeded.

The uniformitarian sect of the church of progress is quite oppressive

It is vehemently enforced by “scientism” via “scientific fundamentalists”. So much irony from the “enlightened” bunch...

Your response to my post is just semantics. You can walk everything down the morality path if you try hard enough, but the fact remains that it isn’t stealing if it complies with law. The law may be unjust, but if your link to morality is “theft” then your grounds are baseless.

And as to science “lies”, it’s awful convenient when the ignorant masses claim to know more than degreed, professional scientists despite overwhelming scientific results just because those results conflict with the “knowledge” of those with zero credentials.

what is the concept whereby AngryGod makes you pay some price when
1. Jesus saved you 100%. Do you think there's take backs?

2. AngryGod has proved he can take care of himself.

Can you see how all this talk of angrygod is just to keep you controlled like a 4 yr old whose mom promised a belt when daddy comes home?

The price is paid by dysfunctional society; not by denial of salvation.
