Jews closer to Muslims than Christians

[Esaias]

[Esaias]

Meanwhile, half of society comes to a halt for prayer in a Muslim country, whereas half of society abandons church altogether in a Christian society. I think we better get our act together and get ahold of the horns of the altar...

[Esaias]

One thing I've noticed...

...most Muslims and most Jews identify with their particular group, based on their belief in God. Most Christians, however, seem to be falling apart at the seams identifying with everything and anything BUT Jesus Christ and His doctrine. What we have NOW is simply not able to stand against the oncoming tide.

The vast majority of Americans who oppose Sharia law and Islam are literally "infidels" by both Islamic AND Christian standards. Fornicating, adulterating, drunken revelling, rah rah rah pro-football and MMA, derp derp muh NRA and 'Murika yee haw yahoos with absolutely ZERO foundation in the Word of God or real faith. Sin all week, drunk on Saturday, and church on Sunday, MAGA! red hat nonsense. But not enough faith to yank their kids out of a communist indoctrination pit called "public sk00l" or actually STUDY their Bible, pray every day, teach their children to trust in and follow Jesus in every area of life... Churches focused on "More! Bigger! Bigger! More! Be relevant and hip and cool! send yo money right now so Prophet Apostle Bishop Pope Evangelist Sissy Snakebucks can get him some whatever", oh and "Don't miss next Sunday service, we're gonna have some stupid 'praise dance' and a sermon on "The Toleration of Dogmatic Relativities - Or, How To Get More Better Bigger Out Of Your Miserable Life".

It's inevitable. MASSIVE persecution, of historical proportions, is coming to the church in the West. Why? Because either God has abandoned the church and it's doomed to die off... or God's going to have to straighten His people out. And prune the vine.

I'm betting on the latter.

Bro, it isn't that God abandoned the church or its schisms, it is that like many posters here. They have their own personal Jesus. A Jesus which isn't God, but a god. A Jesus who has long blonde hair, trimmed goatee, and long white robe. Who is an enabler. He overlooks what is being watched on the internet in the dark rooms of the mind. Because after all He knows you are weak, and can't help your flesh. I had an individual who would always tell me that as long as they were in their human flesh they wouldn't be able to get victory over their sin. Churchanity is a business, come as you are and stay as you are. Just keep the lights on, air conditioner and heating going. Keep the programs moving, youth explosion with spinning disco ball in the middle of the sanctuary. The pastor is called Mr Happy, he is nicer than Jesus, and he allows everyone to come to the church to have fun. No condemnation in Christ is spouted by one and all. No judgement zone. A Church like Planet Fitness..is not a church. Because Planet Fitness is not a gym.

Jesus said that Satan cannot cast out Satan. Because if we were to use demons against demons the demonic kingdom would fall. This is a basic principle in unity. Within Roman Catholicism prior to Vatican II most Catholics were in lock step with each other. Roman Catholic charismatics would of been shut down in a New York minute. Eastern Orthodoxy with all its different groups are still cohesive. Protestantism has nothing like the former, because it is all based on protesting that which came before them. It is all based on coming out of something else. So, just like a cell, it keeps splitting and breaking off to become another form from its prior state. There are 38,000 Christian denominations. By 2025 there will be 55,000. America is the home of new and improved, and therefore we have those who create a new form of Christianity almost on the daily.

It is as done as the dinner dishes.

Hence the reason why we are called "Little Flock"

In every generation there will always be a remnant.

Many are called, but few are chosen. The way is hard to navigate, it is a strait way, not a straight path. The gate is almost closed, where you must press into it. Jesus said that there would be few who ever find it.

Every group wants the big numbers, the big congregations, but the Biblical reality is that there is only a little flock.

That is why like Churchanity (which is Rabbinical Judaism's cousin) has no basis in its scriptures, but is based on its Talmud arguments of its clergy. I personally know Rabbis who are as anti missionary as Tovia, but still wouldn't set a foot in a Muslim masjid. Or would consider the Muslim worshipping the same god they worship. But again, that is their preference based on their perception of Talmudic arguments of sages and rabbis.

How his experience in Vienna changed a young Hitler from a defender of Jews to their chief critic. I have not researched this myself enough to adequately judge, but this does demonstrate that Hitler's views on Jews did not just appear out of thin air. How things turned out cannot be justified, but this is still interesting....

Elder Benincasa, thank you for your words. I can always count on you to bring some Biblical balance.
