That was my point. I’ll stand with them, but they haven’t earned the right to lead America in a conservative Christian revolution.

Exactly who has? Or rather which church has? My church is a member church of the S.B.C. and just like the Catholic church we have people in high places who are liberal and we have people who are conservative. The Christian church, whether Catholic or other, should be unified and speak with one voice against evil but at least in recent history that has not been the case.

Jesus will show us the cure for evil when He returns, until that time we, as individuals have to fight this fight on a personal, individual level, not counting on our separate, ununified churchs, as institutions, to back us.

Your post caught my eye Graybeard as the author of this OpEd said this:

The tendency among conservative believers to embrace a sort of survivalist, person-centered theology has been reinforced by the acceptance and promulgation of theological doctrines which separate faith from involvement with the world. Among many conservative Protestants, the theological concept of the Kingdom of God permeating, confronting, and informing earthly institutions has been sidelined in favor of a narrowly defined concept of salvation as personal only. The prophetic voices of Old and New Testament are sometimes considered as relevant only to their own times, not to our own times.

Exactly!
