re: “There is no left/right political discourse in the Kingdom of heaven... Its the only Way, the only Truth and the only Life.... all the rest is babel...and when you reach that maturity in your life, you will turn the radio and tv off and leave the babbling babels to their own devices...”

You are correct when you say “there is no left/right political discourse in the Kingdom of Heaven”, but there is right and wrong. Until the visible coming of Christ, we live in this world and God expects us to live our lives to glorify Him and to be a witness to our fellow human beings.

Part of that living and glorifying God in this life, in regard to government, is to do as Paul says in Romans 13:1 “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.”

When you reach that maturity in your life where you understand that in order to “be subject to the governing authorities” is to be a Godly citizen of that county you find yourself in. Being subject to the governing authorities in this nation is to participate in the government - that is, we are expected to vote, to uphold its laws, to support it with taxes, to help protect it by serving in the military. It may even be that “being subject” for some Christian believers is to participate in our government as an elected official.

In the First Century, there was no such government that allowed its citizens to participate - except to obey. But our form of government, in order to function in a Godly way, requires its citizens to participate. To NOT do so is “resisting the governing authority” that has been established by God.

Now, what does this have to do with talk radio hosts?

Nothing. Except that, whether you agree with their methods or not, they are attempting to speak the truth in regard to sound, Godly economic principles that we not spend what we do not have, in promoting the sacredness of life (pro-life vs. abortion, euthenaisa), in promoting the Godly principle of personal responsibility for one’s actions in working for a living and taking care not only of oneself, by also one’s family - these are all principles that our government was established upon, set up to protect and promote.

Rush and others may be imperfect vessels in expressing those truths, but to simply condemn them as all hypocritical, and deserving of hell (which is your implication), then you are guilty of judging as expressed by Jesus - only God knows the hearts of other men as to whether they go to Heaven or hell - you do not have that ability to judge that. We have the ability to judge a person’s character by their actions, but we do not have the right nor the ability to know the ultimate destination of an individual’s soul.

If you read revelation and do not find America, read it again....and again.. and again.. if you still can’t find us, may God help you...doesn’t look good for this nation.. it shouldn’t be for the world leader in liquor, drugs, sex , movies, music, porn, abortion, violence, war...at the same time of professing God Bless America... a rather large enemy of the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob is us and that grand ol flag.... I pray you can see the lies of our fathers and the vanity that has no gain in it....
That’s why Limbaugh, hannity, etc are babbling distractions when you live in a country which is an abomination.... don’t waste your time with them and their idle talk.... they wont save this nation from the judgement we have coming.. keep thinking we are the good guys in the world and you will continue to be deceived by the author of all lies... there is none who are good... as I said, they (and us)continuing in babylon systems have received their (and our) rewards.... come out of her my people....

And I can’t speak of individual salvation but I can tell these ‘talk’ show hosts don’t read some parts of the Scriptures....:

James 3:6
And the tongue is a fire,a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members,staining the whole body,setting on fire the entire course of life,and set on fire by hell.

Proverbs 13:3
Whoever guards his mouth preserves his life; he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.

2 Timothy 2:16
But avoid irreverent babble,for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness,

Matthew 12:36
I tell you,on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak,

Psalm 141:3-4
Set a guard,O Lord,over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips! Do not let my heart incline to any evil,to busy myself with wicked deeds in company with men who work iniquity,and let me not eat of their delicacies!
