...but maybe you can temper your eagerness for the Church to fall apart, at least until there’s some reason for it to do so...

You are in error.

I fully expect the RCC will maintain it's compromised integrity and will be in full battle array against the Lord Jesus Christ when he appears coming in Glory from Heaven to Earth with all his Saints (the born-again-of-the-Spirit) at the end of this age.

The RCC will not "fall apart" until that time.

You've chosen your religion; I've chosen the Lord Jesus Christ and Him alone.

A non-Christian society will eventually self-destruct.

Are there any viable non-Christian societies?

Their faith would not permit violent resistance to the state. Rather, as Dr. Martin Luther King would demonstrate, the resistance would take the positive form of standing for truth midst the antagonism of individuals and institutions opposing their freedom.

Note the false doctrine being presented here. It is more appropriate to note:

1) Martin Luther King was extremely heretical in his theological beliefs and sought political gain via the worldly power of religious institutions available to him at the time.

2) The only way to meet the violence of evil is with the violence of righteousness, justice, love and grace. That is the principle of law enforcement and a national military by basic Bible doctrines.

As a sidenote, I recognize and identify within the American experiment, a gross preponderance of THEFT within the last 20 years. While sexual immorality is so 90s, the turn of the millenium is much more influenced by illegitimate and legalized theft in nearly all aspects of our society.

It is likely that many churches will experience legalized THEFT in the form of regulation noncompliance than direct attack upon homosexual agendas.

The immoral sexual agenda has far more progressed within the educational and academic establishment, to the point of removing ALL rights from minors. At present, the homosexual agenda still respects volition. The next attack upon God's provision will degenerate towards attacking the volition of believers, as in something neurological to inhibit the actions of 1stJn 1:9.

That will not occur until the prior institutions of family and marriage have been destroyed, but it will be occasionally be challenged and tested in the political arena.

I used to think Obama might be the AC, until it became very apparent, he just isn't well qualified for such a status. Hillary might fit the shoe of the whore of Babylon, as it appears she is really trying for the title, but she also isn't that sophisticated. They are both incompetent attempts at evil degeneration, but still lacking in many world league competencies.

Nevertheless, God might make an example of the US, in His grace, to the rest of the world, by displaying the overwhelming wrath we anticipate in the Day of Lord so others might return to Him before that deadline.

That is true.

Would you want to live in Japan?

I have been there, and I don’t think I’d much like to live there. Too rigid, too structured.

Ditch the smartphones, and the cameras, the laptops and the internet connection, and you’re in the blind spot. In fact, take the batteries out of any of these devices and they do not transmit, take a few minutes with the battery out if you want to be sure.

Even the internet has such a large volume of data that finding the right bit of data is generally not feasible until after the fact.

Wrong party. Look to Mecca for that.

It doesn’t matter, the Christians are the first target because in terms of numbers, they are the largest bloc that might hold contrary views, take them down and the worst you could ever have are a miniscule number of barely over 1 million Muslims in the United States. Easy pickings. IDK, but if some Muslims actually got their heads on right, they would realize that the radical anti-God agenda has them next after the Christians are gone, because they are just a bunch of specks, and easy targets without the Christians being a problem. They fall to easy for the lure of the politically correct.

>>Not this Roman Catholic Deacon.<<

I'm thinking there will be lots of individuals with decisions to make.

Not that I’m aware of. Maybe Israel. In any case, its not our Christian duty to preserve Caesar’s status.

The magisterium will not fold to gay marriage nor will it fold to abortion.

It is possible that the Church's reaction will be fractured and varied. Some dioceses or individual parishes or hospitals may accept them, perhaps on the sly. You do know that the Diocese of New York has been quietly paying for contraceptives and abortions for over a decade.

NY Abortion

>>I disagree completely.<<

Actually the Catholic Church has more ties to secular government then any other denomination and has since it's inception under Constantine.

I understand that.

You're just posting against a non-Catholic Christian and understand practically nothing, by virtue of what you've driveled to me.

What is your point???????

You are tiresome. The Catholic Church is not going away. Deal with that reality and move on. Nobody on this forum “owes” you an explanation. You can look up Church doctrine on your own time, (which you must have in abundance).

Sorry, but you have tried to hijack this thread.

Dominus Vobiscum.

No, you and your fellow imps hijacked this thread which is not a Catholic Caucus thread.

You, like them, have no understanding of what you are defending. But you have a right to defend it here on FR anyway. Even very poorly.

Now that benediction is just a bit out of character for one who is acting so shrill in their first post to me.

(Your post to me relates in NO way to ANYTHING I've posted. Instead, it's plainly and idiotically not clever, not endearing, not even civil of you...bringing shame on whatever you call your religious sect.)
