And again, you just mouth nonsense. God's Word is what Jesus will enforce. You'll be arguing He is no better than Lenin, at the Judgment Seat.

Wailing and gnashing of teeth, indeed.

Aquila, that is Jesus ruling and reigning, and tossing the disgruntles out the door. Whore mongers, dogs, those that loveth and maketh a lie are outside.
Any of this ring a bell?

Re: BY THIS STANDARD-Greg L. Bahnsen

Aquila's LARPing as Grima Wormtongue aside, what people need to remember is that the progress of the Kingdom is a growth among the people. As the people become conformed to God's Word, society itself is changed. A godly people demand a godly government.

But, as long as the people, especially the churches, are wallowing in rebellion against Christ's authority, all we're going to get is more oppression and insanity. Essentially more of what we're getting now. And it will continue, until the churches return to their first love, and once again teach all nations to obey Christ.

Then, the unstoppable power of the Gospel will begin to transform and redeem man, in reality, as the Kingdom advances.

Imagine my father (the atheist) said I would live to see the church become castrated. Meaning that it would become a liberal communist mouth piece preaching a Christ which was more Antichrist than Jesus Christ.

Good job America

Can you explain what churches are wallowing in...

The general population endorsing LGBQ??? Whatever is certainly wallowing in ungodliness. But are there apostolic churches doing this too....

A government that enforced no more than Gods law, would be more free in many ways than the cleptocracy we have. But a pharasitical Taliban style based on say the articles of faith for the UPCI would be a nightmare.

There is precious little agreed as Gods law among Christianity, only slightly more when you confine it to denomination. It is this functionality that I find disturbing.

Churches are wallowing in antinomianism and pietism.

The interpretation of the Constitution, common law, social compact theory, natural rights, etc is constantly being argued about, yet y'all aren't suggesting "therefore it's unworkable and a nightmare".

The argument that "men disagree therefore forget it" results in pure anarchy. Or absolute strong-man despotism. Previously in this thread the issue of "interpretation" was addressed. (Why do people act like thing's have never been brought up and already addressed? It's like going in circles.)

Your equation of oneness Pentecostalism with the Taliban is interesting. Please, by all means, lay out for us what the Taliban believes and does, and how oneness Pentecostals mirror that movement.

We're all ears.
