Wonderful. That maybe where we should go!!
.
Russia has the courage to do what our congress will not.
Ochen harasho for Russia.
Hard to believe---but Putin is a devout Christian....
he always carries a cross given to him by his mother.
Putin vocally decried Christian slaughter by Muzzies in Egypt and defended Egyptian President al-Sisi in his efforts to drive the Muslim Brotherhood out of Egyptian politics. Putin backed al-Sisi's vow to rebuild the 63 churches torched by Muzzies who rampaged over Christian homes and businesses.
==============================================
Putins impressive debut on the NYT op-ed page announced his personally-held beliefs thusly: "......when we ask for the Lord's blessings, we must not forget that God created us equal."
This is something every Christian believes---an article of faith for Christians.....and, not coincidentally, the bedrock of our constitutional republic........
==============================================
We, the people, know we will never hear Obama say anything even remotely religious.
===========================================
Perhaps nothing more powerfully symbolizes Putin's attempt to transition back to Russia's religious heritage than the recent installation of a huge bronze statue of Vladimir the Great on Borovitskaya Ploshchad, right next to the Kremlin and the Cathedral of Christ the Savior.
Prince Vladimir, or Vladimir the Great, also known as Saint Vladimir,
historically marks the era of Christianity after the era of paganism in Russia.
A concept is resurrected from the days of the Roman emperor Constantine, the idea that the Church colludes with the State and the State colludes with the Church. Hail “Symphonia”!!
AXIOS!
Amazing...Putin is doing what no one in the Western World has the guts to do. I wonder if he will be assassinated by Arab Oil Money.?.?
I hope they also are prepared to recriminalize extramarital sex and hotel/dwellingplace accommodation of unmarried couples, as well as making divorce tougher. Otherwise, the state will end up reinforcing socialist rulers as the Dad in children’s lives and consign women to the role of legal prostitutes.
It’s hard to parse any potential faith element vs. state interest in the demographic crisis that is coming for them. The abortion rate in the 90s was unreal, peaking at something like 280 abortions per 100 live births. They didn’t get down to an even ratio until the early 2000s. That’s a lot of people that aren’t around and having kids now. Because of that they might eventually be the first state to make it illegal after legalizing it, which of course is a good thing in any case.

Placemark.
However, after watching Putin and the Russians resurrect Russia as a Christian nation, even perhaps to be a spiritual leader of nations, as the prophecies claim and just as America once was, I began to take those prophecies and the rest of the material more seriously.
Our fall from Grace is easy to understand.
When we legalized abortion, we fell to/signed on to the dark side and became property of Satan.
But what about the evil Soviet Russia?
Fwiw, this material is a bit different than what you might be used to and I'm still not 100% sure what to make of it myself, but here are a few early prophecies found in TLIG that say happened to Russia:
I Will Resurrect Russia As I Have Resurrected Lazarus
January 4, 1988
Russia Will Be The Symbol Of God's Glory
February 1, 1988
Satan Offered Russia The Deadly Fruit
January 5, 1988
Prophecy On Russia
December 13, 1993
