America is not a “Christian nation”.... it is a nation with Christians in it (and they are definitely not the majority)

I beg to differ.

Well, beg all you want, but you don’t kill 43 million babies over the decades and still call yourself a “Christian nation”....

Oh..., and one more thing... let me clue you in on polls...

I can name two of the biggest *cults* in the United States, who have teachings that make them *non-Christian* in what they preach to their members — but — those members would say that Jesus Christ rose from the dead (even if they are *non-Christian* in their teachings).

Those two *biggest cults* in the United States are the Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormons.

They will answer in the affirmative in those polls.

AND..., in addition..., you have *another type of group* who calls themselves “Christian” (in polls, no less... LOL...) and yet, see what Jesus says about them...

Matthew 7:13-27

13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.

14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.

16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?

17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.

18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.

19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.

22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’

23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

24 “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:

25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.

26 But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand:

27 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”

This is the state of affairs of the U.S. ... (not the “Christians” in the U.S. but the “nation”....)

— And great was its fall.” —

[... and so it was...]


Then, I can go to several so-called “churches” around here and find groups that *deny* the Trinity and that’s one foundational doctrine that if it’s denied, then you’re a “cult” group and not Christian... All those people in those churches will *also* answer in the affirmative on those polls, too...

As you can see “all is not as it seems”....

Most American Christians do not believe that Satan or the Holy Spirit exist

Obviously, there are “smorgasbord Christians” running around in this country...

[ ... if they don’t believe God’s Word, then you can imagine what else they don’t *really* believe... LOL...]
