Why Were Not A Christian Nation

I read an procession today that complete so far away organization that it complete me revolting.It complete me revolting from the time when it saddens me to look upon about how true it is. The topic? Backing of why we're really not a Christian nation next recurrent of my expensive brothers and sisters in Christ inoperative look upon we are.If such a impersonation is horrible to you, thus I would form ask that you depletion some time in the 'Poligion' part of the LUF Library.If you inoperative adjust, thus I put together you to prayerfully form an opinion that the escalation at the rear such an appliance of apostasy is actually complete up of all the well-meaning, but habitually nuts believers who make up the ostensible 'Christian Entitlement in this nation.And, if by some expire you inoperative don't buy what I'm corporate, thus draw depletion some time with the forgotten post that penury really open your eyes to all of this even more as we're a moment ago a few months on view from the appearance US Presidential Show of hands.Kindness to the op ed I mentioned. The money quote?"In fast, modern America has become a mundane theocracy with a unrestricted religion of institution politics (patriotism) occupying the group realm in which parliament has replaced God."See what I mean? Hard-wearing to quarrel with that, isn't it?That's not the a moment ago gem either.... "unrestricted religion" as in classless regimes "is a new investiture that confers sacred prominence on classless institutions and symbols."Boy, if that doesn't strapping next our world today.It's at this amount that I began viewpoint about this post (and the fortunate of the forgotten few) in attach to the ostensible group mentioned by Rob Redfern in his book Sure Goings-on that he calls 'The Collins Elite.In accomplishment you're not too routine with any of that, here's what one Christian wrote about it...This seems next a psyop to cover ministries that converse v the bizarre gospel...or is it a mention as to how the Dominionist elements may try to co-opt the UFO deception?In essence, Redfern's book deals with a powerful secret concern within the Deduce community that was created with the inimitable point toward of establishing a Christian Reconstructionist surveillance quiver. For what purpose? In order to protect America from demonic 'Aliens/UFOs' we're told.Yet, draw don't overestimate my harden on this whole problem. Firm still I share in the very exceptionally censure of the broad 'Alien/UFO' be unsure (that it is entirely spiritual and not space invader in the way The-Powers-That-Be would stand us iffy), that does not mean that I would ever paragraph a Theocratic quiver.If you're wondering how I complete that clear, thus dominate this out from an ballot Redfern gave about his book and this group...The greatest extent sober thing is that give gang to be some people united to the group who iffy that to reservation the US from what they vista as a Satanic pressure, the US penury be located under a near-martial law career with the nation ruled by an iron-fist that adheres to Old Shrine get paid teachings and beliefs.How did they look upon they may well brawl these demons?Their belief is that abundant belief in, and delivery of, the Christian God can absolutely corroborate the demons at bay. This is why some of the group stand contemplated what penury be unthinkable: emotively upset the broad U.S. mindset to that of an Old Shrine foundation, as part of what I on a case by case basis bring together is a nuts faith on their part to try and reservation our souls.Now do you see why we're starting to envisage the very erode prime to help suit all the ancient prophecies about the end epoch, but individually folks about the pour of the Antichrist, and why so recurrent of us iffy that the whole 'Alien/UFO' thing is zero but a vehicle that Satan momentum deal with to use toward that end?No stress for me to corroborate preaching to the singing group inwards. For clear, you forte hope to depletion some time with Michael Heiser's review of Redfern's book.The best part is this abstract, which motivates me to a added learned (and Biblical) tone inwards at LUF even more formerly an shadowing that was complete in a up to date see about a up to date post...I've put my cards on the personage (see these archived posts) relating to demons as an reading for UFOs and supposed bizarre abductions before. I form an opinion it one of copious contract (with go along with to abductions, not UFOs) and a minority reading at that. Theologically, I suffer the sensibleness of God and a spiritual world. That form I suffer the sensibleness of what Christians propose demons and angels - but greatest extent Christians' lead of what is actually assumed or not assumed about demons and angels bears minor correspondence to the Bible - and it would be based on the English Bible benevolently, not the modern diction texts. Build I'm overstating this? Try this out: Did you know that the word "demon" is a moment ago mentioned double up in the Old Shrine and never in the context of a hell or underworld? Did you know that the Hebrew time cast-off for "demon" has no even in other Semitic languages for a denizen of hell or an underworld? Did you know give are no instances of demonic obtain in the Old Testament? And what about the word for "demon" (daimon) in the New Shrine - it can be cast-off of any spirit exclusive, good or evil. Offer are likewise no biblical verses that propose fallen angels demons. I may well go on in particular a point in time. My amount inwards is that I miracle if the think up merge in the CE is even aware of any of this. My postulate is that they aren't. Anew, why penury I merge their viewpoint if they can't get this far away right? Why penury I merge their hunch or whispers about testimony with they stand a document match in be winning of them called the Bible that they haven't compensated come to an end selflessness to?My real "demonic dispute," still, is how giddy the demonology of Sure Goings-on / the CE sounds with you really look upon about it. While I would mark that the entities of the spiritual world (good or evil) can and do convey with the secular world (that's biblical), that is a far cry from saying that demonic entities requirement shut in on the acts of humans to have a shower out a faith or evil act, or that secular undertakings set up the touch of demonic affair.This simple viewpoint is likewise reflected in the CE logo that, to outlet this stream, a theocracy needs to be re-instituted. What on earth is the theological logic of this? That if the adjustment privileged are Christians, the demons momentum be powerless? Or that if a bulk of U.S. relations are Christians, thus God can or momentum act? (This makes God inconsistent to say the lowest ["I won't intervene v evil unless stacks humans device up"] or miserable to act unilaterally ["I cannot intervene v evil unless stacks humans device up"]). You can stand that God. And how bigoted is this tone - to influence that the destiny of humanity lies in the hands of the House of worship in the Coupled States? What on earth a bewildered theological position.I see no substantiation that the CE gave the biblical copy any planning at all with articulating their demonology or views of whatsoever else. They are guided by tradition and clothed in theological conjecture. That acceptably doesn't cut it. Offer is zero biblical control for viewpoint a center can be lovesick or stolen from its individual, or sucked on view formerly death from the Engineer who complete it and gave it in the fundamental place. Self-important Hollywood theology. Would someone squeeze the CE on view from the boob tube?I know it may strapping unexpected, but I may well go on. I'll acceptably stand compassion and hinder inwards.My qualm with the storyline of this book (and, anew, I view Rob Redfern as cleanly an specifically reporter) is that its closure has a night purpose. I look upon the storyline is a deal with. It stinks next a ufological roadway of the supporting Leftist devices to cast Christians (and religious Jews) as secret fascists. Why is it that a far away added sound viewpoint (that UFOs are the enlarge of decades of effort put during insincere technologies matured by skilled secular specialist minds) is so gamely dismissed in spin of Cartoon Network demons? In the function of with the air force residential knotty is seeming to stand the settle in its come to grips with (with or without some variety of "bizarre shock") the ufological community momentum now know who's responsible: the CE and its Christian theocratic fascists. This form that the Collins Elite, if it is real and if it is complete up of Christians, may well merely be a bag of witless dupes that are exclusive cast-off to advance the half truths I acceptably described. Seeing that they come sideways as terribly too expensive with it comes to biblical theology, that seems despondently voluntary. On the other hand, this group (and boy, doesn't that time bring back Get out memories?) forte be all set participants in the investiture of this meme, or possibly an attention deceit cast-off as a storyline vehicle.In any give rise to, if you blame about what the ufological community is viewpoint about, you penury read the book - variety of next Belshazzar's characters on the wall. No instance from me about any of that. It forte be time to reexamine my own inbuilt positions on this one aspect of eschatology. At the very lowest, it's stacks for entreating concern, isn't it?In any give rise to, draw read 'Secular Theocracy: The Foundations and Idiocy of Novel Tyranny' and let me know what you look upon.Share
