The left is actively working to eliminate Christianity and Judaism.
In the novel, an elderly statesman explains the situation to an young priest: First, you see, there was Materialism, pure and simple that failed more or lessit was too crudeuntil psychology came to the rescue. Now psychology claims all the rest of the ground; and the supernatural sense seems accounted for. Thats the claim. No, father, we are losing; and we shall go on losing, and I think we must ever be ready for a catastrophe at any moment.
Lord of the World came to mind (mine and others) last Tuesday after hearing Princeton Universitys McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence, Dr. Robert George at the tenth annual National Catholic Prayer Breakfast in Washington, DC. My message for you today is a somber one, he began. The days of acceptable Christianity are over. The days of comfortable Catholicism are past. Its no longer easy to be a faithful Christian, a good Catholic, a faithful witness to the truths of the Gospel.
PFL
Islam is far more conservative and they would have to eliminate it also.
Yes, they actively seek to replace the very foundations of “God created” with the godlessness of evolution.
It was never "easy" - but it was not always militantly opposed by the powers of this world.
Good luck with that.
My skin color and gender were deemed intrinsically offensive years ago - what’s one more thing? :)
"...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". (Ephesians 6:12)
The Good News:
"What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31)
And the left is very much working to take God out of the hearts and minds of the people, and replace Him with Government.
None of us crave persecution, but I do believe we Christians thrive in God under it. Opposition enlivens me, but when left alone and rejected by standing for the Gospel there is a temptation to self-question. Am I being “judgmental”, “rude”, “arrogant”, “nosy”, etc.? These and others are the accusations. Sometimes they come from other believers.
I know many do not believe in “private faith”, but if we take this piece seriously we’d all BETTER have a private faith that is real as we will likely lose a lot of the people we’ve called friends/family. But we’re never in a bogus type of private faith if we’re born of God through Christ.
I think of the “others” in Hebrews, mentioned at the end of the “hall of faith”. They were cast-outs, alone, martyred...”of whom the world was not worthy”.
But they were worthy in the Father’s sight.
“Islam is far more conservative and they would have to eliminate it also.”
I don’t see that happening. If anything today’s socialists seem as eager to ally themselves with Islamicists as Hitler was.
Unlike Christianity Islam fits quite comfortably into a controlling totalitarian state
Eliminate - eventually...
What they seek now is criminalization. They want to see the State PUNISH Christians.
They won’t target Islam, because the surface issues they use (”gay rights”) are not the real issue.
The real issue/goal is the criminalization of Christianity.
They won’t address Islam until after this goal is fully implemented. At that point, they’ll probably abandon the gays as no longer useful and embrace Islam.
If you want to rule the world, converting everybody to Islam might be a good first step, as it allows for a single rule and single ruler to rule over all.
In my estimation the persecution of both Catholics and Christians is coming. Expect to see it.
Yes, it will happen, you know what, that will bring in NEW BELIEVERS in no time flat.
Of course.
It doesn’t matter to Satan which one of his demons wins their internal struggle for power. Frankly, though, I would bet on Allah. There are a lot more muzzies than liberals.
