European refugee flood; revolt of the Christian laity
Posted on 10/04/2015 10:57:44 AM PDT by NRx
While Europe nations from the Balkans to Scandinavia are attempting to cope with at least hundreds of thousands of refugees already on the continent, the leaders of the three largest Christian Churches in all of Christendom, albeit to various degrees, are exhorting the faithful to assist the migrants. While the Pontiff of Rome, the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, and the Patriarch of Moscow and all Rus' have expressed varying degrees of support for the migrants, the pushback is coming from an unexpected source; the Christian laity.
As reported by Ilgin Karlidag of the new media Turkish Weekly news portal on Oct. 3, 2015, as the overwhelmingly Muslim tide of humanity coursing across Europe are finding that while ecclesiastical leaders may be lobbying on their behalf, the reality closer to the ground is much different. As the Turkish reporter noted, Slovakia has already announced that only Christian refugees and not Muslims will be admitted to the Central European republic.

As happens with many multi-tiered organizations, it sounds as if the top levels of the Church may be disconnected from reality on the lower levels.
The top levels of various denominations are going all happy on green policies, LGBTQ inclusion, and immigration.
The writer clearly does not understand that Catholics are Christians and all Christians recognize them as such.
The top levels are where the money and power are. The bottom levels are the people who supply the money. The power should belong only to God and His Word. But...
there are real refugees and now we have mostly fake refugees (Trojan horse invasion army, consisting of 80% young military-aged men)
there are also refugees and immigrants that seek only to live harmoniously as good cititzens, grateful to be admitted to their new countries........such as most of the immigrants Europe and USA have previously experienced (from a variety of national and cultural groups)
and then there are the Islamics who seek only to invade, infiltrate, seize power and then suppress or murder the former occupants of their host countries
today’s IslamoNazi is the same as Islamic invaders or immigrants of the past 1400 years. it is long past time that the people of the various SOLD-OUT countries rise up and DEMAND the complete repatration of all the Islamics that have gotten in.... (while there’s still time)
Some countries get it, some want to eliminate themselves.
They will not stop until Notre Dame cathedral has been converted to a mosque and Michelangelo’s David has gone the way of the Buddhas of Bamiyan.
they at least need to circumcize Michaelangelo’s David, ha!
(yes, we agree fully with you... the IslamoNazi invasion continues and at a rapid pace, both in Europe and USA, and they will not stop until they seize full control and either subjugate or murder us all... they are taught to do this and this is how they have expanded their empire for the last 1400 years, seizing control of ..today at least 57 countries, and a West that does not prevent this fate will suffer this fate, period.)
The author’s “on paper” remark was referring to a section earlier in the article where he remarked on Europe’s increasingly secular nature and that many Europeans were self-proclaimed but basically non-practicing Christians. The author was then stating the predominant denomination in each country/region.
Apparently, the leaders do not understand Islam, and are far removed from the ghetto.
Yes, I fear that in most of Western Europe, while it is not too late for individuals to save their own souls, it’s too late for them to save their countries.
They really want the whole Chrislam thing to happen. If only we could have seen this comjng. Somehow, if someone had left a warning, about the signs that such things would occur...
Biblical prophecy becomes more clear as one gets closer to its fulfillment. With the Muslim invasion of Europe well underway, it is becoming clear that the Muslims are the “potter’s clay” in the figure of Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream. As Daniel says: “they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another”. So we are really close, folks, the feet have not yet broken into the ten toes, perhaps the Club of Rome’s Ten Global Regions, but we are very close to that point. The Revelation 12:1-2 Star formation occurs on September 23, 2017, so look up! Your redemption draws neigh!
Daniel 2
40 “And the fourth kingdom shall be as strong as iron, inasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and shatters everything; and like iron that crushes, that kingdom will break in pieces and crush all the others.
41 “Whereas you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; yet the strength of the iron shall be in it, just as you saw the iron mixed with ceramic clay.
42 “And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile.
43 “As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay.
44 “And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.
45 “Inasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold—the great God has made known to the king what will come to pass after this. The dream is certain, and its interpretation is sure.”

European refugee flood; revolt of the Christian laity
From the NRSVCE:
“Daniel 2:40-45New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (NRSVCE)
40 And there shall be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron; just as iron crushes and smashes everything,[a] it shall crush and shatter all these. 41 As you saw the feet and toes partly of potter’s clay and partly of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom; but some of the strength of iron shall be in it, as you saw the iron mixed with the clay. 42 As the toes of the feet were part iron and part clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly brittle. 43 As you saw the iron mixed with clay, so will they mix with one another in marriage,[b] but they will not hold together, just as iron does not mix with clay. 44 And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, nor shall this kingdom be left to another people. It shall crush all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and it shall stand forever; 45 just as you saw that a stone was cut from the mountain not by hands, and that it crushed the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold. The great God has informed the king what shall be hereafter. The dream is certain, and its interpretation trustworthy.”
