US Christians increasingly departing from core truths of Christian worldview, survey finds
Verse of the Day
1 Timothy 4:1,2 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
Commentary
Looking for the Blessed Hope: the coming of the Jesus Christ for his bride.
Jude 1:3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
US CHRISTIANITY
“A new survey shows that the majority of Americans no longer believe that Jesus is the path to salvation and instead believe that being a good person is sufficient.
As part of the ongoing release of the Arizona Christian University-based Cultural Research Center’s American Worldview Inventory, the latest findings — exploring perceptions of sin and salvation — from George Barna, the group’s director, show that nearly two-thirds of Americans believe that having some kind of faith is more important than the particular faith with which someone aligns.
Sixty-eight percent who embrace that notion identify as Christians, including 56% of self-described evangelicals and 62% of those who identify as Pentecostals. Sixty-seven percent of mainline Protestants and 77% of Catholics also embraced that idea, the findings show.”
COMMUNISTS VS AMERICAN PATRIOTS
“The United States is grappling with a new form of “urban guerrilla warfare” driven by the left’s “lust for power,” Attorney General William Barr told “Life, Liberty & Levin” on Sunday.
Discussing the ongoing Black Lives Matter riots rippling through several U.S. cities, Barr told host Mark Levin that the organization — which has been characterized by the media as a fed-up activist group — is comprised of “Bolsheviks” with a focus on on “some form of socialism, communism.”
“They are a revolutionary group that is interested in some form of socialism, communism. They’re essentially Bolsheviks. Their tactics are fascistic,” he said.”
WAR WORLD 3: CHINA
“As tensions between Taiwan and China continue to escalate, satellite images reportedly show amphibious armoured vehicles and mobile missile launchers massing at military bases near the island nation.
Though Taiwan, a country of 25 million people, is happy as an independent democracy, Beijing insists it is a “breakaway province” and “inviolate” Chinese territory, repeatedly stating it will use force to bring the island back under China’s control.
Now the images have shown the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) moving the military vehicles into the Eastern Theatre Command on China’s coastal cities across the strait from Taiwan, with missile launchers well within range to hit any targets in Taiwan.”
FIGHTING THE HARD LEFT GOVERNORS
“Evangelicals for Trump on Thursday held a campaign event at the Ahern Hotel and Convention Center, a joint hotel and casino in Las Vegas.
Democrat Nevada Governor Sisolak in his recent Coronavirus order capped houses of worship at 50 people while casinos are allowed 50% capacity. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts sided with the tyrants of the state and denied a Nevada church’s appeal of attendance restriction.”
THE 666 SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM
“Last year, a U.S. government body dedicated to examining how artificial intelligence can “address the national security and defense needs of the United States” discussed in detail the “structural” changes that the American economy and society must undergo in order to ensure a technological advantage over China, according to a recent document acquired through a FOIA request.
This document suggests that the U.S. follow China’s lead and even surpass them in many aspects related to AI-driven technologies, particularly their use of mass surveillance. This perspective clearly clashes with the public rhetoric of prominent U.S. government officials and politicians on China, who have labeled the Chinese government’s technology investments and export of its surveillance systems and other technologies as a major “threat” to Americans’ “way of life.”
In addition, many of the steps for the implementation of such a program in the U.S., as laid out in this newly available document, are currently being promoted and implemented as part of the government’s response to the current coronavirus (Covid-19) crisis. This likely due to the fact that many members of this same body have considerable overlap with the taskforces and advisors currently guiding the government’s plans to “re-open the economy” and efforts to use technology to respond to the current crisis.”
COMMUNISM VS CHRISTIANITY
“Christian congregations have been told by the Religious Affairs Bureau in Zhengzhou, the capital city of the central province of Henan, that they must meet strict guidelines in order to be allowed to open for in-person worship services once the COVID-19 restrictions are lifted. The primary rule — loyalty to the Communist Party.
Bitter Winter reports churches must meet all 42 requirements before being allowed to open. Members must register online, share health information, and other personal details, including their name, gender, ID card, and phone number. In addition, all churches must include patriotic education and the study of China’s religious policies. Failure to meet any of the preconditions means that the church will not be allowed to reopen.”
REAL CHRISTIANITY
“At least 10 of the more than a dozen Christian converts arrested two weeks ago in raids on their homes and house-churches have been charged with “acting against national security by promoting Zionist Christianity.”
Article18 reported earlier this month that at least 13 Christians were arrested in a coordinated operation on the evening of June 30 and the morning of July 1 in Tehran, its sister city Karaj, and Malayer, 400km southwest of Tehran.”
THE REAL LEADERS RISING TO THE TOP
“Senator Kelly Loeffler: It really proves my point. This isn’t about playing basketball. It’s about playing politics… Black Lives Matter the statement we all agree on. The political organization wants to defund the police, promotes anti-Semitism and violence, it doesn’t believe in the nuclear family. I mean, we’re talking moms and dads! How can the league support that?
Senator Loeffler is truly heroic in her stand against the cancel culture mob! Where are the Republican men to BACK HER UP!”
Jon MacNaughton: “I have been discouraged by the times in which we live—a battered economy, a confusing pandemic, civil unrest, riots, and the blind rage of those who seek to destroy our country. What’s even more troubling, is that many in the mainstream media have seemingly joined forces with those who are actively (and seditiously) trying to burn America to the ground.
While thinking about these things, the White House released a photograph—a photograph that gave me… hope. The photograph shows a group of black religious and political leaders, surrounding President Trump and praying for him—praying for the nation. To say that this image inspired me would be an understatement. Here stood a group of men and women—Americans—praying for God to help President Trump!
It was a photograph of faith and hope for the future. And as I thought about that hope, I couldn’t help but think about our HISTORY—our legacy of hope. Contrary to what some might tell you, the United States didn’t begin in 1619, with the first importation of slaves. The United States has a specific birthdate—it began in 1776. It began when we not only declared our independence from a system that introduced slavery to the New World, but our country also began when we declared that all men and women are created equal.
From that day forward, great men and women—people like George Washington, Harriet Tubman, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, and Frederick Douglass—have risen up and have fought and died to ensure that this nation lives up to its founding creed.
As Americans, we share a legacy of hope that should never be forgotten.”
Actually in reality,it’s not left vs right,republican vs democrat…it’s the godless and reprobate vs God and His truth.The left and right are two legs of the same stool.The bush family comes to mind.Our president ran as a republican because running as an independant would not insure victory.Most republicans want the status quo,not God and country.They are only one step behind the democrats.The mainstream media are satans lapdogs/mouthpiece.
The only time most republicans do anything is when their backs are against the wall…just like the church.Most democrats are liars,most republicans are backstabbers.,that said Trump is like NONE of them.He is a man of honor.He keeps his word as best he can considering the slime he is up against.We need to get rid of deep state.They are filled with globalist republicans and democrats.Lets help Trump win 2020.God sent him there because HE[GOD] heard our cries for mercy. TRUMP 2020.
I gave up on the Republicans years ago. They are cowards with most of them without any convictions.
I’m with President Trump and that’s it. If he fails we go down. He needs lots of prayers.
WAKE UP CHURCH……..
I love the church..I really do.I guess I have ‘the gift’ like some of the minor prophets of giving them ‘dark clouds’ alot of the time.I would like to shower rainbows,lollipops and two headed unicorns on us all..but thats the worlds job.I’m really not a prophet..just have the gift of grief for some.The real Church see’s it as God using a fellow believer to sharpen His tools..the fake or cultural christian just see’s me as a pain in their donkey…Hey,I’m o.k.with that.[smile]…no slight on the democrat party with the donkey thing.
