You make a good point.
Human welfare is not only about taking care of yourself.
It’s about taking care of the the next generation.
And, making sure there is one...

You seem to be one of those that worship at the later of division.
God knows me many Othodox do btw.
Look at the post below you.
People like you might not do the work of Satan.
But, he is for sure snickering...

Depends on context, focus and some other things.
I do seem to be, by God’s Grace, pretty good at pulling the lid off of
white-washed awfulness.
I prefer unity.
pseudo Unity at any price and without support of truth
is like peace at any price
not peace; not worth the price.

Yes it is.. Which is why if the left is to replace the system with their own, they need to eradicate it’s foundation..

One of the things that Weber refers to is the drive behind supporting a large family.

Would sure motivate me, alright.
However, our era has a lot of escapee dads.

"...Catholicism and Islam has some history in common,..." Mohammed <---------------> Joseph Smith:
Lone "Special Prophet" of God receives visitation from Angel Gabriel, who dictates "third testement" because previous worshippers got it wrong.
Teachings of "new revelation" result in highly restrictive, legalistic new religion featuring polygamy.
What was that about Catholics again???

Sorry, but I’m afraid the so-called intellectuals & profartssors are busy copying others’ works and can’t get to your comments for the moment, and for ever.

To: Persevero
Were it.I would agree with you, overall. However, God's intenions was never for one country to be Christian. He meant for all countries to be Christians.
America has a long history of Christianity without persecution, but not without problems. And Christians, of course, were at one time, persecuted in Europe which culminated in the establishment of America.
Christianity is like a group of fish swimming upstream in a fallen world.
Many countries in the world, that have various levels of successes or living the Christian life depends on the heritage of that country. For example, the non-Christians in America, may have been descendants of Christians families. And therefore, the animosity may not be as great as those in countries that don't have Christian heritage.
The Christian people who lives in the Rwanda have much to overcome in the area of forgiveness, etc. after experiencing mass genocide. But there are Christians there who are working against a much tougher tide when trying to affect change in their own country. Change against corruption, etc.
And lets not forget, that even Christianity can become an ineffective religion. One only has to look at issues of child abuse in the various Catholic churches that have occured recently (or more accurately, come to light).
In other words, we can't look at the present day situation and gurantee the future with it. God's intention was not for the US to stand as a beacon, but rather for all nations to stand as a beacon of light.
Christianity has taken a hold in China. And there is a big uphill battle going on there. China has been steeped in superstition and the Christians are up against that. But I believe the torch has started there. And the China of 2025, 2050, etc. will be a different China than today and especially yesterday.
God has truely blessed America. But his intention was not to stop just in America and say his work is finished. Its not finished.

It is GOD himself ( not the will of man ) that will unify the body of Christ ( his church ) in his time and in his way.

Woe to Nineveh !!
Touch not, or harm the God of Israel's beloved ISRAEL ! Neither touch the Lord's anointed one's the church, the body of Christ.
Think it not strange that floods will come, cities will be overwhelmed with floods.
Think it not strange when you see the Earth shaken, and see whole mountains crumble and the waters over flow them.
Think it not strange when you see the GOD of Israel ride the waves with his horse in his anger because you harmed his beloved one, his Israel.
Think it not strange when you see the Earth shaken and see world wide tsunamis.
Think it not strange when you see both the SUN and MOON stop in their place.
Think it not strange when you see the Earth shaken, that even the stars seem to move out of their place, along with the Sun and Moon.

There was more than one Inquistion.
Some of these Inquisions were edicts right from the Pope.

The Church, ie. the body of Christ will be strong and united by God's power through the Holy Spirit, and not out of some will of man in some man made multi-cutural, multi-denominations, multi-faith get togethers.

(841) The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankinds judge on the last day. (Catholic Catechism, pgs. 242, 243)
