Conservative Free Republic - You Need REALITY and the Savior

My dear friends, I know I'm going to get it for this post but in love I must say it (2 Cor. 12:15). Someone has to and it might as well be me. For the past 8 years I have been feeling the spiritual temperature at Free Republic and other conservative forums and have found that moral and biblical relativism, biblical ignorance, conservative optimism, Christian ecumenicalism and the outright rejection of the TRUE Gospel of Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12, Rom. 10:2-4, 1 Cor. 15:1-4, Eph. 2:8-9) nearly dominate this and other conservative forums. Thank God for Free Republic, they do a great job, are sincere and mean well and are a great group of people who truly love America and conservatism as I do, but... that in itself is not enough to aid us in this dire hour. An individual today has to see the complete ETERNAL picture and that includes biblical REALITY and the reception of it. Conservatism without a saving relationship to Jesus Christ as the Holy Scriptures clearly teach is ETERNALLY bankrupt.

American conservatives of today are no different from the Pharisees of Jesus day. These were conservative, moral, go to "church" to put it in our day language and were quite familiar with the Old Testament, but when push came to shove they outright rejected Almighty God's righteousness and saving solution for their souls in SPIRIT and TRUTH and held their traditions and conservatism above the Word of Almighty God.

Thank God for some God fearing, Bible believing, evangelical presence at Free Republic, who help point America's conservatives to the Gospel, the REALITY of the hour and Almighty God's biblical perspective, but sadly these are usually scoffed at and laughed to scorn by American conservatives who are lost and without a saving relationship to Jesus Christ, the Messiah of Israel (Isa. 53, Matt. 7:21-32, Rom. 10:2-4, 1 Cor. 2:14). Tragically the dominant spirit there is one of unbelief, subjective conservative optimism, spiritual delusion and ETERNAL blindness (Rom. 10:2-4). The temperature and pulse of American conservatives who actually believe the Bible and its saving message is near dead and ice cold. That is a heart breaking reality that God the Father has had to show me these last five years and with tears in my eyes I wish I could change that but I cannot choose for an individual to receive the Savior. American conservatives of today are no different from the Pharisees of Jesus day. These were conservative, moral, go to "church" to put it in our day language and were quite familiar with the Old Testament but when push came to shove they outright rejected Almighty God's righteousness and saving solution for their souls in SPIRIT and TRUTH (John 4:24) and held their traditions and conservatism above the Word of Almighty God (Matt. 15:1-20, Rom.10:1-4).

The temperature and climate of American conservatives who actually believe the Bible and its saving message is dead and ice cold and that is a heart breaking reality that God the Father has had to show me.

My dear friends, oh how we need Divine REALITY today and not delusional optimism and worldly solutions for our EXPONENTIAL global crises. Almighty God cries out to you all day long but will YOU receive Him and His ETERNAL solutions for your life? That is the biggest question ALL must ask themselves in these last days. All these current events and crises of our global community are self induced by the lawless and godless works of fallen man and are driving this world straight into the Day of the Lord (Rom. 1:18-32, Gal. 6:7, Rev. 6-19). These products or fruits of evil men and their consequences are left in place to bring us to the brink of our delusions so that we may come out of our subjective selves and show us our desperate need for the Savior, His pardon, and His RIGHTEOUSNESS.

My dear friends, WHAT WILL YOU DO? Will you continue to look for worldly solutions and conservative human saviors or will you finally come to the end of yourself and receive the KING of kings and LORD of lords who is the WONDERFUL COUNSELOR and PRINCE of PEACE.

My dear friends, WHAT WILL YOU DO? Will you continue to look for worldly solutions and conservative human saviors or will you finally come to the end of yourself and receive the KING of kings and LORD of lords who is the WONDERFUL COUNSELOR and PRINCE of PEACE (Isa. 9:6-7, Rev. 19:11-16). All ETERNITY is before us and our brief existence in this fallen world is about gone. See the ETERNAL, see the Savior, see the REALITY and you will find the liberation and peace of Almighty God that will calm your hearts in America's last hours.

"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved!" (Acts 16:29)!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Conservatism Without the Righteousness of Almighty God is Bankrupt.

I don’t want you to feel badly about it, but you are not going to be able to convince me of anything except that you are not going to be able to convince me of anything.

Who knows, maybe a bunch of people will get haunted by the Holy Spirit.

My post was very clear. You have more faith in Cruz or Trump than in Christ to turn our situation around?

Har har har your own accusation too. (I really don’t know anything more than not to try to reason with those who will not reason.)

If you can explain why you are leading off with an accusation, then I will explain who I really I have more faith in. Bargain?

How very sad. People like you and kindred do more harm than good. Sledgehammer Christians.

"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved!" (Acts 16:29)!

That's it in a nutshell.
I fully believe that verse.
Nuff Said


BTW, One more thing...
FR is basically a political forum.
I think you're out of line.

I kind of sympathize with kindred's spiritual point of view, wanting to see more open expression of faith

Go and look at the "thousands of free Bible studies" linked to from his blog.

No "open expression of faith" that I can see, but hundreds of articles taking shots at every Christian in the universe who does not agree with him on 100.0000 percent of his personal interpretation of Scripture.

That's why I posted the cartoon above. It could easily have been inspired by "kindred".

Well then imagine the Lion of Judah walked up to you, purred, and did a kissy face.

Warmer, fuzzier mood?

Imagine if nobody accepted that there were more radio broadcasts out there than they had been receiving, with more information, because they did not like the fellow who explained FM.

I mean what’s being stated here.

I have no blog. I do have a Freep page which may be clumsily done. I have gotten a number of private amens on it.

Brother,
Some read the thread and post as “judgemental”. Perhaps....
But I think at this point we need to be very blunt and realize that fallible humans will not (and cannot) change the course of this falling airplane called “Amerika”.

I’m simply agreeing that we who claim HIM, need to realize that every action at this point in in His hands and if we don’t submit, we’ll be experiencing some divine judgement very soon.

What’s wrong with pointing that out?

Reminds me of the old joke to which the punchline is, "And God says, "I sent you two boats and a helicopter. What MORE did you want??"

And anyhow, how could you evaluate them all in such a short time. You’d have to be better than the IBM computer in that informercial, who analyzed Bob Dylan’s songs and is talking with that songwriter.

Again, you and the OP know nothing of the people that you've painted with a broad brush but you're certain they don't measure up to your expectations. The Good News is that your opinion isn't the one that matters.

We are now done.

The problem is who appears to be getting the glory for talking about that. It’s very easy to let it seem to be you.

I try to be clear. God loves you, but won’t cram it down your throat. When you refuse God’s love you don’t get some neutral thing, you get God’s enemy. So what position do you want to be in.
