Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NIV
https://bible.com/bible/111/1th.5.16-18.NIV
Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil— and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.
Hebrews 2:14-15 NIV
https://bible.com/bible/111/heb.2.14-15.NIV
And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.
Colossians 2:15 NIV
https://colossians.bible/colossians-2-15
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.
Ephesians 6:10-18 NIV
https://bible.com/bible/111/eph.6.10-18.NIV
For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves,
Colossians 1:13 NIV
https://colossians.bible/colossians-1-13
They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. Therefore rejoice, you heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short.”
Revelation 12:11-12 NIV
https://bible.com/bible/111/rev.12.11-12.NIV
Catholicism is not the same as Christianity. The Pope does not speak for all Christians. If you ask many of us, the Pope is a mouthpiece of Satan, forgiving sins he has no authority to forgive.
In regards to it's decline and the "losses" of Christians for decades, yes you're right - we will be persecuted, imprisoned, and killed as the NWO locks in their power. Eventually, it will happen. All Christians should be ready for that.
The question is, will God give us 4 more years of reprieve before that time comes? We certainly hope. I could use 4 more years to prepare.
When the time comes for you and I to accept or decline our place in the Great Reset by taking the mark of the beast, think about it in the context of Christianity, especially revelations, and consider the accuracy.
Would you quote the constitution or what some modern day scholar reinterprets the constitution to say? Especially with verifiable "another gospel" teaching of "turn from your sins" instead of "turn from your unbelief".
Honestly, as a Christian I think we are getting what we deserve.
The church leadership nationwide is getting more liberal. Doctrine is being watered down and one by one churches are changing their stances on gay marriage.
On top of that, the majority of churches in America are more concerned with their budget and their flock and not reaching out to feed the poor, care for widows, etc...
So Big Daddy Government stepped in.
The church has failed America and more and more our religious rights are being stripped from us because we chose to stay in our bubbles.
2020 has been a wake up call to the entire world to turn to Him and I love my church but my pastor has bought into all the Coronavirus bullshit. The rest of the staff hasn't, but he has so when he preaches he talks about wearing your mask and all that shit.
When you choose to not preach the gospel and instead push what the government is saying, you are straying from the mission. As a pastor, you shouldn't be pushing anything the government is doing UNLESS they are trying to restrict religious freedom.
I think our country is headed in the wrong direction and Trump was the man standing between it. If he loses, we will never get it back.
There are scriptures that command us not to give up fellowship with one another (Heb. 10:24,25). That said, I aree with you in general: the Evangelical church in America has become a SJW sancturary. One pastor I highly respect that is strongly against this is John MacArthur. I encourage you, brother pede, to listen to a few sermons of his, which you can find on his website, Grace To You. God bless you brother.
Agreed, and just in generally, for brainwashing my (and younger) generations, largely in school, to be against religion, think all Christians are stupid, and teach inaccurate history that convinces us religion has no part, role, or influence in our country and it's founding. After becoming a historian, I learned real fast how very much we are a Christian country, and "separation of church and state," is in no founding documents, and doesn't even mean what most think it does. All this made generations turn away from God, mock him and his believers. I woke up to that brainwashing, first from becoming informed, and then from Trump showing me. Trump brought me to God, made me have faith, and I think there are many others like me.
Maybe we'll get what we deserve; a punishment -- but maybe we'll also get what we deserve - a trump reelection that continues infuencing more like and restoring us as a Christian nation, with a population that's -- while tolerant of all religions, and has religious liberties and rights -- majority practicing Christians who understand the importance, and role in our country .
Even before I started having faith myself, I still understood the importance and could see the blatant correlation between our country's decline and having more and more atheist and godlessness
I know. At first, I did it for the meme. Eventually, I realized that it was bordering on blasphemy. There is only one God. Now, that doesn't mean that God isn't working through Trump, but Trump isn't a divine figure, and calling him one is wrong.
If I understand correctly, the god-emperor is a reference to Warhammer 40k, and there seems to be a number of fans here. Also, it seems to trigger some libs that accuse Trump supporters of being mindless Bible-thumpers that worship Trump.
I get where you're coming from, and actually likely more agree with you than anything, but just as a devil's advocate (probably not the best phrase to drop right now lol), I think it's ok. It's in jest, and not actually implying Trump is God, or even divine. It's not encouraging false worship, or really even ascribing religious properties to him. It's in line w/ Trump's character, who's braggadocios, speaks in hyperbole, and is generally just humorous, too, often in a self-deprecating way.
Now, I understand that maybe some actually read, view, and believe it in that context; but I'd imagine most here understand the general context, implication (or non-implication, really_), and that it's more just a light-hearted joke that kind of caught on long ago and stuck around. Certainly can see how it can be a turn off, and even feel so myself -- but also think it's really not a big deal or approaching blasphemy. But I'm also more... I guess gradually becoming Christian more and more, but wasn't for so long that I'm not super educated or been serious long-term, so what do I know -- just my thoughts, fwiw
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

Heads up, not that I’m refuting what you said, but the “Pope” is catholic - not Christian
Catholicism is not the same as Christianity. The Pope does not speak for all Christians. If you ask many of us, the Pope is a mouthpiece of Satan, forgiving sins he has no authority to forgive.

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
God needs to stop fucking with us on a constant basis.

It's Crusade time. DEUS VULT!
So true Im still religious for the most part but I've turned away from the main stream churches.
A lot of them are into SJW stuff they fly rainbow flags half the sermon is about donating money to the church.
You don't need a church to be faithful all you need is a Bible and to be a good person.
There are scriptures that command us not to give up fellowship with one another (Heb. 10:24,25). That said, I aree with you in general: the Evangelical church in America has become a SJW sancturary. One pastor I highly respect that is strongly against this is John MacArthur. I encourage you, brother pede, to listen to a few sermons of his, which you can find on his website, Grace To You.

There's never been a society that's survived open support for faggot reprobates. These United States wants to be the first.

We turned away from Him. We deserve whatever happens to us. If God wants to destroy this nation, there's not a single thing that we can do about it.
I know. At first, I did it for the meme. Eventually, I realized that it was bordering on blasphemy. There is only one God. Now, that doesn't mean that God isn't working through Trump, but Trump isn't a divine figure, and calling him one is wrong.
I downvote any comments and hide posts like that. I get myself in enough trouble - I'm not going to intentionally provoke the creator of the universe.
I didn't neg you.
If I understand correctly, the god-emperor is a reference to Warhammer 40k, and there seems to be a number of fans here. Also, it seems to trigger some libs that accuse Trump supporters of being mindless Bible-thumpers that worship Trump.
