You have as the “title” of your post...

“Waiting for the Rapture while America goes down the tubes!”

—

Ummm.., what makes you think that the primary objective of Christians is to “wait for the Rapture”... LOL...

As I read it, the primary *objective* of Christians is to spread the “Gospel message” to everyone. That’s something for every Christian and that is the *absolute and primary goal* of all Christians (per the Bible). That’s what I read, anyway...

The primary objective is not politics, it’s not waiting for the Rapture, it’s not organizing better politically, but rather organizing *better* ways to spread the Gospel Message.

Now, if you have some time to do some politics, in the meantime, after you do spread the Gospel Message, then that’s fine, too. There’s nothing wrong with that. But, please, don’t try to create confusion and say that Christians have as a primary cause and/or objective any kind of “politics”... they don’t (not according to the Bible, they don’t).

You misunderstand me. I did not say that the primary objectives of Christians is to wait for the Rapture. All I am saying is that it some Christians seem to have this attitude and I think it is a form of escapism. Being well informed and responsible citizens is a religious responsibility. I don't think of that as being “politics” in terms of the grubby, what's in it for me kind of politics. I think of if terms of the politics of the Founding Fathers which was based on taking our citizenship seriously, not taking it for granted. I believe that many people have been very complacent for a long time and we need to get it through our heads that we need to be always watchful.

I was hoping you’d find this.

I got sidetracked before I could ping you.
Give me a few minutes to review the thread.
