And what is the point of your little spiel?
If it’s “faith’ w/o any action then it is (in reality) just a bunch of words.
Ultimately there has to be a realization of the true-position a person has: ultimately imperfect and unacceptable, it is ONLY Jesus that *is* perfect/acceptable. And, as it’s called in the New Testament the “Mystery of God,” that God should ever look at a sinner and see Jesus there thereby making him acceptable (and THAT is grace).

Very intersting!

Another aspect of Americans being held captive: They are constantly badgered as evil racists and their culture/history/idenity has been cleansed in public schools and replaced with foreign socialist ideology and a one size “fits all” culture of humanism. The captors debase American goodness ideals and values and Americans. They treat native born Americans like the Brits treated the natives of nations they invaded. Americans don’t know who they are anymore.

It is interesting, but I don’t believe it is true. My experiences may vary drastically from yours, however, based on the area in which you live. How are you judging folks from parts of the country with which you are unfamiliar? Most people do not follow the media, politics or law enforcement/the judiciary to the extent that you give them credit, IMHO. You may be onto something with regard to those dependent upon government support to live.

The point is, armed revolt will end this nation, when Russia/China nuke us during the chaos during a transfer of power from Obama to us. Armed revolt will get us nuked. That’s the point.

I can point to verses that instruct Christians to pray for enemies, pray for leaders, love their enemies, pay taxes, give more to persecutors, and so on. There is nothing like “Shoot government agents when they want too much” in the New Testament. Christian soldiers are to execute their duty. Period.

Wrong. The Christian is called to repentance:

“that all must repent of their sins and turn to God—and prove they have changed by the good things they do.”
Acts 26:20

You have twisted it into a license to sin, as much of the church has. Picking up your guns, and not your Bibles will be the end of this country.

Russia/China are not stupid. They will use the chaos you are promoting to nuke us during the transition of power. I am still waiting for someone to tell me what plan is in place to keep them from doing this.

Think Obama is going to hand over the codes to the “football” when his 3million agents are overcome by 90 million patriots with guns? Hardly. China/Russia know this, and will take full advantage.

Excuse me, but where in this thread have I advocated violence against the government? That's a bit of a stretch because this article is a theory attempting to diagnose not the spiritual state of the general population, but rather the adherence to a government that can be shown to be abusive.

Furthermore, how is observing that only someone who recognizes that they are in need of a savior can accept an offer to be saved a license to sin? {Can you save someone who refuses to believe that they need saved?}

You didn’t. But calling us hostages to the government might further license some to take up arms.

Plenty of talk on this board about revolution. Not you. I’ll give you that.
