Sin has been dealt with. Jesus took care of it. The only people going to hell are people who do not accept Jesus for who He said He is in His Word. Salvation is free to all who will believe. It is a gift from God. Read the book of Romans. Paul explains it pretty clearly there and in Galatians.

There are not different levels of sin. Worry is a sin just as much as murder ect....

Are you serious? Evangelicals made up 27 percent of the vote in 2012.

Do you think any white Evangelicals are going to vote for Hillary? Trump is going for the votes that are up for grabs.

Presumption.

Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid!

Have a happy forever.

You just made a point that many transgenders have made.

“What bathroom do we use? The one that causes the least fuss.”

Issues like gay marriage and the transgender bathroom thing are never started by the people, themselves. They’re started by the political left in concert with their ‘minority’ political groups. Not the average person.

They’re swept up in it - sometimes with a lot of reluctance.

This is part of the Left’s strategy to divide and conquer. They can never allow the American people to come together as neighbors and brothers. They’ve got to keep stirring the pot and create division.

And we ALL fall for it from time to time. It’s always us against them. Left/right, gay/straight, old/young, feminists/well... they pick fights with everybody. Now the men have met the challenge by starting the MGTOW movement.

I’ve never heard a Christian state that they ‘hate’ alcoholics. They’ll hate alcoholism, but not the person. Many here do hate gays.

Where I think we’re frustrated is the normalization of immorality. We’re really upset about the left bringing their version of morality into our children’s schools, while locking us out.

If it weren’t for that, most of us probably wouldn’t give a fig what two people did in the privacy of their own home.

Robbers and burglers (who violate the command against stealing) do not organize themselves and recruit others to destroy Christianity.

Out of all the sinners, the homos as a group are the only ones who are actively seeking to kill Christians, their beliefs, and their businesses.

No other group of sinners does this. Just the homos.

Yup. But we’re going to have to set aside the baiting crap for awhile and unite as Americans to do it.

That’s going to be tough because the leftists will continue to push our buttons.

The Political Left pushes this crap into schools. I personally know gays who hate gay marriage and who despise the sexualization of children.

Most are not of this ‘group think’ mentality.

And more and more of them are figuring out that they’re being used to push the leftist agenda. That’s why Milo and the LCRs are such fast-growing movements. Like most Americans, they want to be left alone to live their lives as they see fit.

Try spending a couple of years working in the FOH of what used to be Walt’s [Conservative] Disneyland and see how that impacts your perspective.

Evangelicals, despite the shameless endorsement of Trump by Jerry Falwell Jr. (instead of Cruz), might sit home this time.

Evangelicals went for the Mormon Romney in 2012 because he at least had some personal morals. Trump has few, if any, morals, and that create an enthusiasm gap. Especially if Trump keeps shoving the highly insulting Peter Thiel in their face.

>>totally undermine our moral underpinnings
 
Yep.
      
{snip}
YURI BEZMENOV:
Most of them, yes. Simply because the psychological shock when they will see in [the] future what the beautiful society of EQUALITY and social justice means in practice, obviously they will revolt. They will be very unhappy [and] frustrated people, and Marxist Leninist regime does not tolerate these people. Obviously they will join the [ranks] of dissenters; dissidents.

Unlike the present [1984] United States there will be no place for dissent in future [2008, "Hate Speech" Colorado SB200] Marxist-Leninist America.

[Now] you can get popular like Daniel Ellsberg and filthy rich like Jane Fonda for being a dissident [and] for criticizing your Pentagon. In [the] future these people will simply be [he makes a squishy noise] squashed like cockroaches for criticizing the government. Nobody is going to pay them nothing for their beautiful [and] noble ideas of EQUALITY. This they don't understand and it will be the greatest shock for them, of course.

The demoralization process in the United States is basically completed already for the last 25 years. Actually, it's over fulfilled because demoralization now reaches such areas where not even Comrade Andropov and all his experts would even dream of such tremendous success. Most of it is done by Americans to Americans thanks to lack of moral standards. As I mentioned before, exposure to true information does not matter anymore. A person who was demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him, even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents and pictures. Even if I take him by force to the Soviet Union and show him the concentration camps...he will refuse to believe it.... until he is going to receive a kick in his fat bottom.
 
When the military boot crashes - then he will understand.  But not before that.  That's the tragedy of the situation of demoralization.

2. The next stage is destabilization....
 
this time, subverter does not care about your ideas and the patterns of your consumption.  Whether you eat junk food and get fat and flabby doesn't matter any more.

It only takes 2 to 5 years to destabilize a nation. This time what matters is essentials; economy, foreign relations, [and] defense systems. And you can see it quite clearly that in some... sensitive areas such as defense and [the] economy, the influence of Marxist-Leninist ideas in the United States is absolutely fantastic. I could never believe it 14 years ago when I landed in this part of the world that the process will go that fast.

3. The next stage of course is crisis, which may take only up to 6 weeks to bring a country to the verge of crisis.  You can see it in Central America now; and after crisis, with the violent change of power structure and economy, you have the period of so called "normalization" [which] it may last indefinitely.  Normalization is a cynical expression, borrower from Soviet Propaganda.   When the Soviet tanks moved into Czechoslovakia in 1968, comrade Brezhnev said "Now the situation in brotherly Czechoslovakia is normalized".  This is what will happen in [the] United States if you allow all the shmucks to bring the country to crisis. 

To promise people all kinds of goodies, and the paradise on Earth.  Uh to destabilize your economy to eliminate the principal of free market competition; and  to put a big brother government in Washington D.C
.; with benevolent dictators like [1984] Walter Mondale [2008 Obama] who will promise lots of things -  Never mind whether the promises are fulfilled or not.  He [the dictator] will go to Moscow to kiss the bottoms of a new generation of Soviet Assassins.   Never mind [nothing to see here, move along],  he will create false illusions that the situation is under control.  
 
Situation is NOT under control.   Situation is disgustingly out of control. 

Most of the American politicians, media, and educational system train another generation of people who think they are living at the peacetime. False. United States is in a state of war; undeclared, total war against the basic principles and foundations of this system. And the initiator of this war is not Comrade Andropov of course - it's the system. However, ridiculous it may sound, [it is] the world Communist system, or the world Communist conspiracy. Whether I scare some people or not, I don't give a hoot. If you're not scared by now, nothing can scare you.  You don't have to be paranoid about it.  What actually happens now; that unlike myself, you have literally several years to live on unless United States wake up.  The time bomb is ticking.   With every second the disaster is coming closer.  Unlike myself, you will have nowhere to defect to, unless you want to live in Antarctica with penguins. 
 
This is it, this is the last country with freedom and possibility.
ED GRIFFIN:
Okay, so what do we do? What is your recommendation to the American people?
YURI BEZMENOV:
Well, the immediate thing that comes to mind is, of course, there must be a very strong national effort to educate people in the spirit of REAL patriotism, number one. Number two, to explain [to] them the real danger of socialist, communist, welfare state, Big Brother government. If people fail to grasp the impending danger; nothing ever will help the United States.  You may kiss goodbye your freedoms, including [sending] homosexuals to prison inmate.   All this freedom will vanish in 5 seconds - including your precious lives.

The moment at least part of [the] United States population is convinced that the danger is real, they have to FORCE their government, and I'm not talking about sending letters, signing petitions, and all this beautiful, noble activity, I'm talking about FORCING [the] United States government to stop aiding Communism....

>>Sin has been dealt with. Jesus took care of it.

You've confused/perverted the Gospel of forgiveness in the repentant body of Christ with the prideful and willfully sinful gospel of PERMISSION coveted by those operating in the spirit of anti-Christ.

17 Jesus said to his disciples: "Things that cause people to sin are bound to come, but woe to that person through whom they come. 2 It would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around his neck than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin. 3 So watch yourselves.
"If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. 4 If he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times comes back to you and says, 'I repent,' forgive him
."

Good luck with that.
