There are really two separate issues:
1. Evangelism. Go for it. It’s a great opportunity if its in front of you.
2. Jihad by demographics and Sharia law. If we don’t turn back the tide, pure demographics and radicalism will mean there are no evangelists left in 100 years.
One is the important religious problem. The other is an important political problem.
Per the map, it appears the Dems are the “coastal party” in only the west. More a “nor’eastern” party in the east - with Miami/Ft. Lauderdale/Palm Beach the exception. More solid blue in the northeast.
Totally off the subject.
When my husband and I lived in Saudi Arabia, working for the ARABIAN-AMERICAN OIL COMPANY, there wasn't a lot to do.
The southern gals started a slow-pitch softball league. I wanted to play but there was no room for this Yankee.
There were two black American Aramco workers who WANTED to coach a women's slow pitch team...but there weren't any takers.
They DID get to form and coach the team I went on: THATCHER's CATCHERS ...all British women except me. I was the STAR, playing shortstop. Lol. That tells you how BAD we were, but I DID know baseball. We didn't win any games but had a lot of fun!
The glory moment:
No outs, runners at first and second.
The next hit ball ROLLED up to me. I tagged the runner passing in front of me and stepped on second. DOUBLE PLAY!
Lol. An unexpected gift from our good Lord, my very own double play.
Our coaches went NUTS, jumping for JOY!!!
But anyhow, wouldn’t that be just like God to see that all the investment that the Islamic “donor classes” put into raising up presences in the Western world, delivered Muslims to the door of churches where they’d believe?
It requires the Christian hardihood to put up with a lot of guff to be able to do this. And it needn’t mean a blind acceptance. The kind of “extreme vetting” that Trump wants to do will emphasize that yes, behavior matters and yes, it’s a historical issue with Islam. But even that is an edge that Christianity can use. Many Muslims may not even understand why their behavior is taken with such an affront by the West. Christians who are knowledgeable can, in love that shows, explain that when you embrace the devil, you start to look like the devil too — but that needn’t be your everlasting fate.
Christians trying to live with Islam generally end up on the wrong end of genocide or become converts because of the overwhelming societal and financial pressures to convert. True pattern for 1400 years. Satan has multiple ways to make Christians his. Muslim genocide of Christians and sharia law are two of his most successful inventions.
Those who were successful in saving Christianity from Muslim extinction were hard-ass warriors—Charles Martel, the Winged Hussars etc.
Christianity must be preserved for there to be evangelists. And sometimes it takes a war to preserve Christianity.
Females do MUCH of that dressing up, primping and make-up smear AS MUCH for other women and themselves as they do for men. Men are way too easy at all times.
Yes,dumbocrats, please keep all your hardcore socialists in power and elect Ellison to the DNC. I’m not tired of winning yet.
No, evangelism crowns even politics.
Were most of the American Founders believing Christians or close to it? History answers yes.
Try breaking your own model.
And that is a sad vanity.
In Political Pareto Analysis those that pay the most in campaign donations get listened and catered to the most. This means a congress critter from the middle of nowhere who receives large donations from Wallstreet and Hollyweird will tell their voters what they want to hear but will really represent Wallstreet and Hollyweird. The system is that rigged. I hate to say it but Trump is an aberration. We had better enjoy it while we can.
And I note also, that Revelation really doesn’t address Islam as a significant end times conversion opportunity. Jews yes. Muslims are background noise in Revelation—among the ones who see the miracles and the overwhelming evidence of Jesus reign on Earth and still refuse to believe.
That said, every Muslim who turns to the Lord will cause rejoicing in heaven and Earth and Evangelism to Islam should be and is a high priority of the Church.
This “misunderestimates” where Christendom can get.
Down under all that cruft, can still be souls that will see, when shown against a background of love, what a vicious god they have been pursuing. The Islamic Allah acts like the devil because the Islamic Allah is the devil.
How will those souls get there? God can predestine them to be there. It’s that simple.
No disagreement. It’s what we have and those Muslims in front of me will be evangelized. I do not regard that as a complete solution, though.
The advent of the Lord, first in spirit (which this move with Donald Trump may herald) and then in person, could be well poised to crowd out the brunt of Islam. It’s driven and energized by the devil. Get the devil cowering in corners, and the steam goes out of Islam.
It’s the spearhead of a solution.
Votes are where you find them.
And circumstance can make evangelism easier.
Behavior matters: this is something that the Trump regime will doubtless emphasize. It won’t stop all believers in Islam, but those of the milder Islamic communities will be preferentially allowed through, those that are easier to reach.
Against the background of “behavior matters” can be presented the truth that behavior follows what one believes in. Believe in an excellent God — get excellent behavior. Believe in a lousy, demonic god — get lousy, demonic behavior. The word will get around.
Seems as if you are confusing "House speaker" with HOUSE MINORITY LEADER. Quite frankly, the way things are going down now, I wouldn't want to see either of those two nor any other 'Rat as House speaker in our lifetimes, because that would mean that the 'Rats would have the majority in the House.
He’d be a house squeaker
Blacks were unaware of this so Black Lives Matter had no impact.
The Trump vote was a pro-America vote rejecting Progressives, Soros, socialists, Van Jones and their ilk.
