That’s funny. I was just going to click on the headline when I got your ping to it. :-)
Thanks.
There is much truth in this:
“This being the case, political fixes and Republicans in control will not cure what ails America because Americans, by and large, are spiritually diseased. This means that our primary battle is spiritual, for we are not “contending against flesh and blood, but against the (evil spirits)....against spiritual wickedness in the high places.” (Eph. 6:12)”
....and Americans are not the only ones thus affected. The entire world groans...

“The Buddhists and the Jains do not depend on God; but the whole force of their religion is directed to the great central truth in every religion: to evolve a God out of man.” (Inspired Talks, Ramakrishna Vivekananda Center, 1958, p. 218)

There is at least one group that many on FR consider ‘Christian’ that teach this same doctrine. That God was once a man, and that man can become a God (complete with own planet).
Just saying, it isn’t just the New Age and Occult.
That is most certainly the most important question.
Time will tell.
You got that correct.
Progression to godhood, their very foundation.
“Death of America and the West”...
kind of ethnocentric, ya think?
I believe the rise of pagan spirituality is one of the signs that this world is not going to be as it is for much longer.
I believe it’s going to be as God wishes it to be...whether we like it or not.
This means that our primary battle is spiritual, for we are not “contending against flesh and blood, but against the (evil spirits)....against spiritual wickedness in the high places.” (Eph. 6:12)”
That battle has been raging since the beginning. It will rage until the end. Prayer is our powerful tool to reach the ears of God and to move the mountains. God is still in control no matter what. It amazes me that those blinded human beings can believe in satan but despute God’s exhistance. Look around nature and see God - He is everywhere.
“I believe the rise of pagan spirituality is one of the signs that this world is not going to be as it is for much longer.”
I very much agree. The extent to which this has spread among those who call themselves ‘Christian’ is pretty astounding. The spirit of relativism (a sandpit to be sure) is its underlying foundation in the present culture.
+1 on that observation. They patrol the threads here too, so I’m surprised your observation survived. More than a few of mine haven’t.
And He knows how it will all end, right?
Oh, I have no fear of the end times,
because I have the assurance of faith,
the assurance of salvation,
and God’s Word to tell me what’s happening and how it will end.
You refer to the Apostate Church,
and they WILL be against “the remnant”.
Those who call themselves Christians and are really pagans will be the worst persecutors.
