perhaps you should go denigrate your pastor for not trying to get elected to congress for not doing something to change this country.

Obviously you've never read the Founders or DeToqueville. The political process is not what kept morality and liberty functioning in society. Obviously it's more important to you to bash other Christians for their 'errors' than stand with them on what you have in common against true corrosive evil.

Real evil is not political, but spiritual…. Anyone who messes with Scripture to distort it to their end and to keep people from a genuine encounter with God through Christ is what is truly evil.

How do you know that Christians who follow biblical holy days or Hebrew customs do not have a genuine encounter with God through Christ?

You make my entire point. True evil is apparently what other Christians understand and believe from scripture that differs with how you understand scripture and that is the only evil Christians like you are willing to stand against.

Luke 9:49-50 is obviously lost on folks like you. You are accusing that of which you yourselves are engaged in - declaring that Christians can only be Christian if they follow your specific understanding and traditions.

If they feel led to that, more power to them.

Just don't make it a condition of salvation and demand it of others. That is legalism personified.

No. True evil is leading people away from Christ.

When people like Rood make following the Law and observing the Feast days a condition of salvation, they are preaching a false gospel. When they make prophecies that do not come to pass, they are false prophets.
