Christianity will be facing its greatest challenge in the decades to come.

Similar to how the left switched gears and decided to destroy our military from within rather than from the outside, the left is forming a new parallel Christianity from within, changing churches and Bible teachings into socialized political beliefs lived and expressed through government control and a religious version of Sodom and Gomorrah while being preached by Democratic Party leaders and collar wearing and robe wearing lesbian and homosexual church leaders wearing the cross.

Studies PROVE that Republicans and Conservatives give more to charity and more time volunteering than liberals and democrats. and have less mental illness.

I think this may be largely true, and due to Liberals being ruled by their emotions.

Is a ‘biblical scholar’ anything like a ‘government expert’ ?

Government agencies don’t equate to ‘the temple’.

One caters to the material, the other caters to the spiritual.

Rendering to Caesar what is Caesars is now out of the question.

Mostly because he's dead.

I have read the bible cover to cover many times, and I have never once read the part where Jesus asked people to steal from the rich to give to the poor.

Jesus said, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called the house of prayer’; but ye have made it a den of thieves.”

I think it’s clear that his concern was the desecration of the Temple and its spiritual meaning and purpose.

Yes and the words in the Bible have correctly predicted this and says to watch out for it because it is bad. These fake Christians have no idea what they are talking about.

What ever happened to the democrat’s all important “separation of church and state”?

The Southern Baptist Church seminaries have been taken over by leftist theology that pushes leftist ideology just like the Catholic pope. I think they do not understand that stealing means a wide variety of activity. The stuff that DOGE is finding is criminal. You have a transgender that led HHS and nothing was ever said. These pastors followed the governement call to close churches at a time when people were searching for biblical truth.

My best advice is have no fellowship with spiritual darkness. There is a great deception going on and God is exposing a large amount of Christian charlatans. Pray without ceasing and continue to study the Word to show yourself approved.

“ Studies PROVE that Republicans and Conservatives give more to charity and more time volunteering than liberals and democrats . . . “

My observation has been that liberals believe that they care more for the unfortunate because they vote for politicians who spend OUR money to help the unfortunate out. We, on the other hand, spend out own time and money, rather than other people’s.

I was involved with a working man’s homeless shelter for six years. During that time, I became the president of their board of directors. The only people to help me out were conservative Christians.

Jesus Christ was not a Marxist, and Karl Marx was not a Christian. And anyone who thinks they were needs to go back and study them. It doesn’t even come close to making sense.

Don't buy into the "separation of church and state lie."

The author of the corresponding statement was referring to the separation of the POWERS of Church and the POWERS of State.

I.E. Do not have the Pope also become President.

You are correct. The politicians use partial truths to cling to power.

That was true at Jesus’ temptation. But not true after the resurrection. The Hallelujah Chorus comes to mind!

They like to think they do and that fantasy analogy is sufficient.

Clear as the surface of a brand new mirror.

How about this?

One preaches about the material, the other ministers to the spiritual.
